how to become a genius in a lifetime or less


it's getting past that 3:30 mark where my drawing becomes extremely and very strangely clear...everything seems to work into place. plus, i'm listening to one of my favourite late night work songs [ xiu xiu ]'s "crank heart"...(i absolutely love the copyright trademark at the top of their webpage!) still trying to figure out exactly what the lyrics mean in this song, anyhow, it's one of xiu xiu's most energetic songs ever, i remember reading a review somewhere and for some reason the description has stuck in my head so vividly..."the track employs frenetic drum-machines, a pounding heartbeat and a twisted funhouse of synths"...one of those statements that was so eloquently put together and meaningful in every word. can you figure out what the lyrics mean? till then i will just play the song over and over and dance around in studio...

Telling your son a joke
He doesn't think is funny
“We’ll catch him unawares but
What if he doesn't wear underwear.”
Lighting it up
You were so cool
Her school colors
Black and light black
Giving it up
She has started
Your life’s colors
Black and light black
Getting your hair from under your bed
Breaking your fingers
Getting killed by a car
Before you can make him pay.
