Pressure Vessel

from Inner Workings by Exchanger

about

This track actually started as some experiment on a single rythm pattern, but as it went I felt like extending it, and it slowly became an entire song, and I felt it was complete enough to be presented to the world in this fashion. And I hope you'll like it !
Oh and yes, there is a middle section that ressembles The Moldau (Vltva) by Smetana. It is deliberate, I think this is a great piece of music, go check it out if you like romantic symphonic works. I don't know if my take does the original any justice...you be the judge !

lyrics

Please kindly be our slave
Or become an outcast
And we will make you crave
For this meaningless task

Internalize failures
Deny the touch of chaos
Your fate is only yours
Assistance is weakness

Chorus :
Can you feel the pressure raise in your veins
Slowly wear out the thin vessels ?
Can you hear the beat of the galley's drum ?
Tediously dragging on the vessel
Do you think that you can last much longer ?
S'there even an alternative ?
Will you sink if they throw you overboard ?
Or is it that's what they'll have you believe ?

Blend in our dull portaits
Erase personal traits
Become our standard
Shave smooth get a haircut
Put (on) this branded
Silly shirt

For not doing what I ask
In this small confined space
Yourself you'll have to face
And this meaningless task

To the most absurd of our senseless
Demands you shall bow
Else, we will bore you out to death
Short of pushing you out the window

Chorus (2)

From the overseer
Down to the underling
You relay the pressure
Override the feeling

The only thing worth preserving
Keep going forward
But save your self-esteem
And whether you stay on board
Simply blow off the steam
