-- Global Groove Lyrics --
There’s tight lycra round my hips and a sweat band that fits round my head
We’re still dance, dance, dancing today
To the global groove
Well the TV guide gets fatter as the days pass by
And those taxis do a dance as I watch from the sky
Global Groove
Global Groove
Global Groove
Global Groove
We’re still tap, tap, tapping away, to the global groove
Watch your favourite war on TV
Just before you go to sleep
And then your favourite sitcom
Watch the tears roll down your cheek
Global Groove
Global Groove
I’m so sick and tired of dancing
I’m so sick and tired of dancing
I’m so sick and tired of dancing
Are you sick and tired of dancing?
Still tap, tap, tapping
Dance, dance, dancing
I remember when I was really small
The news said that
When planes went overhead
And how many passengers you could fit on a plane
Imagine each person, and where they’re going, that would make me feel better
That these people were just going on holiday
And...
Seeing people
Die
And its...
Being exposed to that much
Realism

That ending just... damn that hits hard. The instrumentation on this track had a slow, sombre tone to start off with but the way it lead into that outro just... wow.

[@madcattur]

could somebody explain the meaning of the outro?

[@superwildejellyfish]

@@madcattur the whole track seems to speak of war (at a point) and the heavy distaste around the way tragedy is portrayed through television.
The outro features these lyrics:
“I remember when I was really small
The news said that
When planes went overhead
And how many passengers you could fit on a plane
Imagine each person and where they're going, that would make me feel better
That these people were just going on holiday
And
Seeing people
Die
And it's
Being exposed to that much
Realism”
I think this might be referring to a young boy’s reaction to the way 9/11 was portrayed on television, as that relates with the rest of the track plus it brings so much more weight and impact overall. It could be referencing something else but I think that interpretation seems to work.

I remember sitting on my porch late at night chain-smoking cigarettes while listening to this song on repeat. It’s a masterpiece and hits deep in the soul

[@dantaverasmusic]

@Ivory_ Lagiacrus_YT oh shit i didnt see that typo

[@jpegg2284]

@Ivory_ Lagiacrus_YT lmao my ass off

[@MyoticTesseract]

I mean to be fair, the drummer is holding these rhythms while doing some wack vocals. That's pretty commendable itself lol

You lads are doing impeccable work, Thank You!!

[@andrewxj576]

that beginning sounds like it's sampled from swans - surrogate 2

[@daveysaturn7232]

Soundtracks for the blind is a beast of an album. that little interlude always haunts me.
also, the ending of Boy Racers on this album hits that Surrogate 2 drone as well. the om
