Pump The Brakes
by Merisan

We don’t need you
We can make more
a frozen sample
Bought from the store
The father’s rule
Hangs from a thread
One scissor snip
Could end the bloodshed

Twelve Thousand years
To build a lie
We won’t behave
Can’t keep us tied
Twelve thousand years
You push us down
I’m not your slave
I wear the crown

How did it feel
To watch them burn
The smoke was thick
Nothing was learned
You turned your back
Don’t hide your eyes
Your time is up
To fraternize

Twelve Thousand years
To build a lie
We won’t behave
Can’t keep us tied
Twelve thousand years
You push us down
I’m not your slave
I wear the crown

There’s no turning back
You can’t pump the brakes
Tires have been slashed
And there’s no escaping this

Twelve Thousand years
To build a lie
We won’t behave
Can’t keep us tied
Twelve thousand years
You push us down
I’m not your slave
I wear the crown

Twelve Thousand years
To build a lie
We won’t behave
Can’t keep us tied
Twelve thousand years
You push us down
I’m not your slave
I wear the crown

I’m a big fan of the story being told. Maybe it’s obvious to some people listening, but I have no idea what it’s about. It's very ambient and compelling in how it's told. And I like the picture it paints. Sounds like a foreboding Wilson Philips.

this is easily the most interesting of the XIV Merisan tracks so far to my ears! I wasn't sure what the lyrical subject is at first but it intrigued me, and having done a bit of research I think I see what you're getting at, and it's a great concept for this round. The melodies and harmonies are great and I really like the dreamy, Spaghetti Western guitar sound.

Sounds nice. Not much of a “diss” track though.

Gorgeous harmonies and shimmery guitars, this was really beautifully put together and I really enjoyed listening to this. (Side note--I couldn't really figure out what it was supposed to be about as I Googled "12000 years" and ended up finding a bunch of articles about a comet crashing into the Earth.) Minor complaints: it didn't seem to go a whole lot of different places musically, and it seemed to end rather abruptly, so I'm not sure how many repeat listens it would hold up to for me, but the first however-many listens have been very enjoyable so maybe I'm just making up imaginary complaints by Future Owl. It's also not really much of a diss track to my ears. But whatever, it is lovely and dreamy, and hooray for smashing the patriarchy!
