Shopping List was written during 2020's second lockdown, in an attempt to describe the alienation created by the routine, especially that of work's repetitiveness. Actions repeated until losing any meaning. The song parallels these actions with commercial pop-ups, both scrolling in front of our eyes without any conscious acknowledgment, listing a number of unrelated words, like a shopping list.
lyrics
Anxieties,
magic tricks,
chapped lips,
this is my new world
smart drugs
parking spots
cheering crowds
i’m drowning in this pond
Vanities
Useless skills
Secret tips
I’m crawling like a worm
Fake hugs
Empty clubs
Severed arms
The future has come
A new call to arms
A blinding red sun
A voice from the dark
“Relax, have some fun”
