I spent 6 years sitting on Netherworld Principle. Wrote the lyrics early on, and just kept making music til it finally clicked with one of said lyrics. This one, COAT HANGER MAMMOTHS, used to have a much more aggressive tone (like my older work), but just like the bulk of the rest of the album, it never felt right til I took a lighter, more synthpop/futurepop approach to it that it finally came together, completely. I'm releasing this one here as it was a particular standout to me.

A song about losing your mind, but having a good time doing it. Check out the full album here.

Lyrics:

Coat hanger mammoths on the wall

Dancing entertainment for us all

Coat hanger mammoths on the wall

Losing my mind before the fall

Dance, dance, spin round and round,

My mind has but gone and it cannot be found.

Locked away, a place to stay,

Safe from them and their clean, white gowns.

I know what I can clearly see

But others tell me how insane I can be.

They tell me lies all of the time,

Stuck in this loop that I cannot break free

Coat hanger mammoths on the wall

Dancing entertainment for us all

Coat hanger mammoths on the wall

Losing my mind before the fall

Face it, embrace it, you know it is true.

They're dancing for me, they are dancing for you.

Bring on the cages, the padded rooms.

Beset with psychosis, and nothing to do.

Afraid and frustrated, unable to mend,

Regardless of help that you think you can lend.

My spirit is dying, my mind is on fire,

But one thing's for certain: I'll make it end.

Coat hanger mammoths on the wall

Dancing entertainment for us all

Coat hanger mammoths on the wall

Losing my mind before the fall

Coat hanger mammoths on the wall

Dancing entertainment for us all

Coat hanger mammoths on the wall

Losing my mind before the fall
