about

nostalgia reboot was written and recorded in October 2020 and finished in January of 2021.

lyrics

times up
is that a good first line?
just like that nursery rhyme
back in 2001
the war had just begun

I can't adapt
it's way too fast
this spinning twirling world

nostalgias past
will make us cash
that's what we observed

there's no original ideas
is this derivative of everything I fear
is our future so banal
that we're clinging to all that's ancestral

I give up
on writing these new songs
my voice will soon be gone
heard by no one
give them what they want

we can't adapt
we just react
to what we see and scroll

I miss the days
when it was safe
a pre-pandemic world

we turn to dangerous ideas
a collective consciousness that is riddled with fear
does everyone feel so small
does every one of us feel so trivial?

nostalgia turns to hate
made this year like 1968
the danger of "let's make our country great"
each generation yearns for something more
