Parrots

---------- NOTE ---------- Hey, two songs in two days, how about that? An existential track about every day conversations. Sorry in advance for the weird ass video for this one. Had the idea of a magazine collage parrot folding into arguing humans, and it just kinda took off from there. Became slightly more disturbing than intended, but I think it kinda fits the whole panicked tone of the song, so.. Another one that went in a thousand directions as I was making it. I don't know if you can tell, but there's quite a few genres mixed into this one, and hopefully it turned into something coherent. \u003c3 ---------- LYRICS ---------- What did you say, (what did you say) What did you do? (what did you do) What can I say? (what will I say?) What would you do if I told you the truth? I say good day and you say the same, Our smiles morphing at equal times, I've got a mirror image posing 'cross me, Which reflection lies, is it yours or mine? Can we, (can we) Can we break the script? I laugh and you laugh back, Or the other way round, I think, Are we parrots? More than we're human beings? So afraid to be ourselves, Our action's lost all meaning, (I say), Hope you can say something genuine back, Or we end up copying each others heart attacks, Then you repeat it, (you repeat it), And wow, we're back on the same track. (uggh) I can hear your cackle, Yet I see no amusement, (guess it wasn't that funny anyway), But you have a choice, why not use it? You can stop copying me, (stop copying me) I'll stop copying you, if you stop copying me, I forgot how we started, how our personalities departed, And what's left of us is motion, (and well) A reminder of how hard it, is, to, be, ourselves, (does polly want a cracker?) What did you say, (what did you say) What did you do? (what did you do) What can I say? (what will I say?) What would you do if I told you the truth? Are we parrots?! More than we're human beings?! So afraid to be ourselves, Our action's lost all meaning! (I say), Hope you can say something genuine back, Or we end up copying each others heart attacks! Then you repeat it! (you repeat it)! And wow, we're back, on, the, same, track!! (goddammit) It's parrots, all the way down! Yeah, parrots, all the way down! (It's parrots, all the way down!) Parrots, All the way, Down. Does Polly want a cracker? Does Polly want a cracker? Does Polly want a cracker? (does polly want a cracker?)
