about

MY WORLD (SOS TO THE UNIVERSE) by Ajay Mathur - Ajay's Italian bandmate Fausto Medici recorded six assorted avant-garde percussion tracks in his home in Sardinia, Italy. Ajay used them to create an apocalyptic soundscape using excerpts of tracks from the 2015 original from his album 9 to 3. He mashed up the slam poetry, recited by his lyricist Mary Lou von Wyl with snippets of guitar, bass and tablas tracks as well as the children's choir from the 9 to 3 original.

lyrics

Our lives are dictated. Our lives are dictated. Our lives are dictated by tiny screens. Our lives are dictated by tiny screens. We're drowning in debt way beyond our means. Our lives are dictated by tiny screens. My situation seems so insecure, time is ticking' on. Crimes breeding in the heat of the sun, yeah. Desperate hours of insanity, broken glass is on the streets. Still, I wonder who is on the run? My world, SOS to the universe. My world, tell me what will become of us. My world, SOS to the universe. My world. Kill your fears. Electric city, live wire, disconnecting all the ties. Short circuit and the panic takes a hold of you. There is somebody looking over your shoulder. Paranoia, that's my name. Isolation under cover of a million lies. My world, SOS to the universe. My world, tell me what will become of us. My world, SOS to the universe. My world. SOS! SOS! SOS! SOS! SOS! SOS! SOS! SOS! SOS! SOS! Our lives are dictated by tiny screens. Our lives are dictated by tiny screens. We're drowning in debt way beyond our means. Time is ticking on. Manipulated, scrutinized, unheard. Money is abstract, it's become absurd. Phones in hand, headphones in. Blind and deaf to the state we're in. Time is ticking on. Blind and deaf to the state we're in. Blind and deaf. Blind and deaf. Time is ticking on. Swallow pills to kill your fears. To make you. To make you brave. Time is ticking on. To hide your tears.
