this is the first song that scotch howard wrote, first song he and Mitra music recorded together, and the first track on the album. The lyrics for the tune came from a very organic place. I was sitting in the middle of the woods, my life was a complete mess, and i had never had faith in myself as a writer of anything, much less music. I felt like i was in a world of my own, and that my state of mind had transported me to a different planet. Maybe it was dmt? I wrote the lyrics on a piece of cardboard that i ripped off a box, while playing the box like it was a high hat, and a snare. I felt the out of mind experience it is to be grabbed my music for the first time as a musician. Weight was lifted. love came back, through opening myself to music. Thank neptune
lyrics
so messed up why wern't you ready
waiting for you i passed you up
retrospect does nothing for me
i wish my morals would have held up
LOOK BACK I TRIP AHEAD IS CAUTION
IN PRESENT HAZE I START TO CALL
COMMITMENT FEAR ME TAKE OFF RUNNING
ASHAME STARVATION EATS US ALL
come back my friend confused so willing
who is this man why act so free
looked in your eyes spiders where spinning
how did i let you get to me
LOOK BACK I TRIP AHEAD IS CAUTION
IN PRESENT HAZE I START TO CALL
COMMITMENT FEAR ME TAKE OFF RUNNING
ASHAME STARVATION EATS US ALL
now youth is here my time has aged us
smarter for good i dive off slow
your gravity is pulling me towards you
but tops go round fast then hit the wall
