Partly Fiction by chewmeupspitmeout

I'm made up of phrases
I'm made up of words
Consonants and vowels
Nouns and verbs
I'm made up of metaphors
And contradictions
Drawn from real life
But still partly fiction

I'm just a character
Without a story
I need a parable
Or allegory

Partly fiction

I'm just a cypher
A thinly veiled critique
An authors mouthpiece with
Something I'm trying to reach
Cos I've got goals
And clear motivations
So well researched
A realistic creation

I'm an antihero
Murderer, a thief
I've sacrificed myself
Suffered heartbreak and grief
I've been a king
Ive been a fool
Made my fortune
And lost it too
I've found true love
And I've doomed the whole world
I've fathered boys
I've fathered girls
A man of lapsed faith
A man of conviction
I'm mostly true
But im still partly fiction

Partly fiction

some interesting production touches as usual, that extremely quiet lead guitar early on freaks my brain out good and proper. On first listen the mismatched bass and drum rhythms didn't really work for me but on repeat listens it didn't bother me as much. The harmonies on the chorus feel a little jarring in places though and that did continue to bother me, unfortunately.

I like the arpeggiated synth bit that the song is built around. Lyrics are good! My favorite part is the Johnny Greenwood guitar that comes in at the end. Cool song!

Nice 80s pet shop boys vibe. However, with it being low-tempo and sad in mood, I feel like it needs some kind of more-defined hook, maybe something different on the refrain melody? I like where the heavier guitar comes in at the end, and it makes me want something like that earlier in the song.
