about

"I haven’t really been myself lately." Finnish singer/songwriter Peter Quin’s world spirals ever smaller as the minutiae blockade the routine of our lifestyler. A decidedly europop conundrum.

lyrics

I haven't really been myself lately
I guess I haven't been for a while
Taken to quiet reflection
I guess you've noticed that ain't my style
I haven't read a thing in the papers
I look blankly at the news on the page
Haven't made a judgement on comments
That can have me going off on a rage

Whole key days can lose their focus
So I begin at the start of the map
Distance to ending is getting longer
I'm widening the gap

Between lifestyle and inertia
Personal gold, is it worth it?
Between abandonment and composure
What's after the goal of closure?

I haven't had the right stimulation
I can't recall the last time I did
I haven't been inclined to be seen on the town
Actively I've stayed home and hid
I haven't posted pictures I've taken
Haven't quoted from the books that I'm on
Didn't decide to make a conscious shift
Do you think something can be wrong?

Whole key days can lose their focus
So I begin at the start of the map
Distance to ending is getting longer
I'm widening the gap

Between lifestyle and inertia
Personal gold, is it worth it?
Between abandonment and composure
What's after the goal of closure?

So softly I stand back
If it's stretched too fast, it will only crack
Firmly in a forward mode
Playing chicken by the busy road

I haven't kept my nights with the telly
I'm letting all the episodes slip
Missed a couple of sessions when I should have worked out
I'm relaxed with this looser grip
I haven't really stuck to my diet
I've been snacking when I'm in the mood
Letting my mind wander at the counter
The assistants presume that I'm rude

Whole key days can lose their focus
So I begin at the start of the map
Distance to ending is getting longer
I'm widening the gap

Between lifestyle and inertia
Personal gold, is it worth it?
Between abandonment and composure
What's after the goal of closure?

Publicity

Publicity is the emotional reaction to the mechanized, media-fed society we grow up and grow old in. Publicity always has an opinion, a view, an angle. It often isn’t the view through clear glass. It’s smoked the smoke, cracked the mirror. Its voice has been there, done it, and didn’t want the t-shirt. ... more
