Like Kid A only with about 1000% more cheese

[Dream Of Sleeping]

I came up with the synth and drum part a couple of years ago when I was taking part in Ludum Dare. It was for my game 10 second clone. I liked it and decided to make a song out of it. It's a bit stupid but I'm happy with how it turned out.

It's about trying to write something not generic.

8 Bit Clone

an original thought
spreads like a disease
until imunity

they planted the seed
you watered it down
now it's garden weeds

You're writing from the heart of a donor
They don't know that they're a ghost

now you've taken the easy way out
now you've taken the easy way out
and you won't be found

the youngest child
gets the smallest room
and the hand me down shoes

that precious baby
you thought was your own
just an 8 bit clone

You're feeding on the tongue of another
thinking that you're the host

now you've taken the easy way out
now you've taken the easy way out
and you won't be found
It wasn't the only the way out
but it's too late now
