FloydienSlip Sonnenberg's analog style is as beautifully textured as ever, and this album showcases his talents, both electronically and vocally, to fantastic effect. Favorite track: All Damage has been Done.

Boredom 03:51
Boredom is waiting for your call in a world that suffocates the pure of heart Boredom is waiting for you to call in question anything you ever thought … Starting now Fear of boredom likes to rear its ugly head while telling us that slowing down is laziness Fear of boredom likes to get into our head and keeps us all believing we’ll be young again .. we’ll be young again … we’ll be young again.

We must grow old So do our ideas, our ideas Daughter, you know All things, they must die, they must die With the world always changing Constantly adjust But the past will stay another day My son will sing By then, no more words, no more words Our songs in past The noise, it will end, it will end. And the times are changing With the world always changing And we find new friends
3.
As we were following the moon you were quick to hold my hand and of course I never mind I was never one for words but the friend I have in you is all I need until the end

Old things, not yet retired left over from a time we used to know Propped up, held by a wire left over from a time we used to know Cold room white chandelier left over from a time we used to know Photos seen through the mirror left over from a time we used to know Old things not yet retired left over from a time we used to know Held on, more than a lifetime left over from a time we used to know Repaired, repaired, repaired again left over from a time we used to know Reused, reused, reused again left over from a time we used to know

Slow Down 04:02
Nothing ventured nothing gained Thoughtless words can lead to pain You, yourself aren’t made of glass Always moving always fast Won’t you please slow down? slow down, please slow down Then you beat me black and blue What have I ever done to you? Don’t you think you’ve made your point? Don’t you think I’ve had enough? Won’t you please slow down? slow down, please slow down What’s the rush? slow down, slow down, please slow down Stop and think! slow down, slow down, please slow down You move to fast... What’s the rush? slow way down You move to fast slow down, please slow down You move to fast...

Leaving Home 02:57
I’m holding on, you’re leaving home The different choices made result in many ways The rising sun, your failing lung Not all results of fate are caused by what we’ve done You’ll stick it out, I’ll crawl away To stay or to escape, our problems still remain Another choice: If we ignore still resolutions vague and nothing else gets done You’re climbing up, I’m falling fast The sorry state of things is just another sign of the times Another step, another rung The different paths we take the stars we choose to follow

"To each his own", we used to say "To each his own", we used to think ...Now we’re all alone All our friends come and go All our friends born and die All our friends move away All our friends cease to be I conjure these words and my thoughts are heard I sound out these words and our thoughts wither by ...and fade away. Maybe what you think is that I’m just a man with nothing to do and nothing to say …fading away We flutter around passing windows by Strangers moving past never making a sound like no one’s around. Our desert dry, all friends and foe, all lovers past: all left behind Our desert dry, all friends and foe, all lovers past: all lost in the crowd We can never go back to a world that’s flat and the long summer nights where we never grew up We can never go back to a world that’s flat and the long summer nights where we never grew up ...and all because We are Lost In the Crowd We are Lost In the Crowd We are Lost In the Crowd We are Lost In the Crowd We are Lost In the Crowd

Metaculture 05:00
I'm sure I can't escape your side Every time I try I'm back again Ferromagnetic reaction to my every move But there's a feeling of apprehension into a sea of my reflection The coldness of these yellow eyes colliding with my soul Your problems I cannot resolve every time I try I trip again tangled into your position, feelings of helplessness To stop speaking and listen against a straining gut reaction a major deficiency fighting with my will Idyllic moments in our world will try and reconcile these things untold Relation through metaculture may not be the cure I know you have objections I know you are reluctant To admit this peaceful world may never exist Exhaustion - take me by surprise Once again, I dream of other lives The cycle of loose connection without self-control Everything an old reaction Everything has ceased to matter All desirability doesn’t have a hold Sleeping can be a lonely vise Escaping through my necessity The power of a great escape working every time But it leaves my problem pending An un-resolving action The mass of possibilities end in disrepair Mister, I know you share my view I have a feeling there is more aside from you The corners of the world exploding as ideas grow The forming of a new connection The study of our obsession The focus on a global world with so many lives
9.
Fate 05:16
Once we dare to reach the top: Am I really better than I was? And the ne recruits are here: meager slow beginnings Some provide the many rules we choose to follow when predicting fate Often lies, we continue to desire beyond our needs At the rally, meet our host All the shareholders come to view Show the numbers, show the chart Falsify all profit Some provide the many rules we choose to follow when predicting fate Often lies, we continue to desire beyond our needs Some provide the many rules we choose to follow when predicting fate Often lies, we continue to desire beyond our needs Always running out of time though our pocket watch broke long ago If I’m late again it’s death and there are still more meetings Some provide the many rules we choose to follow when predicting fate Often lies, we continue to desire beyond our needs

Let’s hear it for the kids who cry their eyes out when the light’s out Where’s your sympathy? I used to think its safe, but now I’m not sure. Now I’m unsure All damage has been done Listen to our rivals: Quite impressive, most impressive - enough to scare us all We grew up paranoid, automatic, all the static All damage has been done I thought that it was safe, but now I’m not sure. Now I’m unsure We heard it in the news: The stories of our neighbors who cry their eyes out when the lights out All damage has been done

We always try to maintain some control instead we’re victims Places, faces all surrounding us in opposition We always try to maintain some control instead we’re victims A million people try to do the same in opposition Try frustratingly to take control, becoming victims We drive along we drive along suburban dreams We drive along we drive along suburban dreams We drive along we drive along suburban dreams We drive along we drive along suburban dreams We drive along we drive along suburban dreams We drive along we drive along suburban dreams We drive along we drive along suburban dreams We drive along we drive along suburban dreams We drive along we drive along suburban dreams

Drifting 05:24
Tide rising high Dive, try to hide away Safe, cold and deep beneath the reef Waves, liquid hands cradle me Wash my wounds and find what’s left of me: Debris, floating on the sea And find what’s left of me floating on the sea And find what’s left of me drifting out to sea

Brushfire 04:57
We met in June and nothing could have warned of coming danger Calm and quiet, heat would be the only true Summer curse Then came sounds of people rushing panic in their voices They won’t stop until they’re safely in the street The fire, Fire, FIRE! is burning down the houses run Run RuN RUN! The siren siren siren is calling out my name as long as I’m here The fire, Fire, FIRE! is burning down the houses run Run RuN RUN! The siren siren siren is calling out my name as long as I’m here Rescue me, Rescue me. Rescue me, Rescue m
