about

The Y3K album is a conceptual piece about my 'spiritual reset' that occurred when I rediscovered the book of Romans through new eyes. One tragic side-effect of believing that you are responsible for alleviating your own sin is that you believe other untruths too. Here I was attacking the wrongness that is believing you can't come to God until you are right, or that you are better than some, and worse than others. That is a lie.

I felt this song would almost be a space filler and that, despite a riff that I enjoyed writing, it would ultimately be lost amongst the other tracks, but after I added in the vocal effects, the song changed forever for me. It is not a special track for me, complete with my analog-delayed middle.

lyrics

I am made to fly!
I f I didn’t weigh so much…
I am built for speed
But, I can’t escape this second gear

Down at the lot on Sunday
I’m better than him, I’m worse than her…

I’ll raise my hands high
As soon as I’m a better man
I’ll grow as I should
Just as soon as I grow

Down at the club on Sunday
I’m worse than him, I’m better than her…

What is it that I could be waiting for?
If I’m waiting to be pure
That was buried long ago

Down at the place on Sunday
No better than him, no better than her!
