about

No longer myth … the Content Creator slowly pushes a reflective discoid up a steep incline, visions of entrepreneurial benediction dancing through their head. Convinced of both their innately extraordinary essence and the purposeful, ultimately edifying process of the ascent. Where to next? In anticipation of the forthcoming Glacial Burners album, we give you “Narcisyphus” - you probably already know them. The Burners boosted a disco beat, slowed and throwed it, then gave the old Wax Trax! jackhammer treatment, underlaid with a monolithic riff. We then commissioned the Id, Ego, and Superego of the titular unfortunate fellow for some verbal insights into this strangely prevalent 21st century archetype. Good luck out there.

lyrics

Chorus:

The aspirant’s in repose
Listing “luxe” beatitudes
Sacrosanct bullet points
The center’s been removed
Impresario’s pretense
Of exaggerated action
Supinely gazing through the murk
Splinters lap in pool’s refraction

Narcisyphus:

Pardon my digression, happens time to time
As you surely notice, I can clean up nice
Got to keep it moving, never satisfied
Present at creation, got that founder's fire
Overnight sensation with the staying power
Humble man of action, book you on my flight
View from thirty thousand keep me grounded right
Way beyond those haters, they get none my mind
All my living spaces got that flow you like
Taste is both eclectic and so harmonized
Modern office spacious and economized
Multilevel vision, quick to optimize
Disrupting stasis, how I'm specialized
Integration guru with the seamless ties
Nosh the ancient grains, treat my temple right
Practice to keep mind and body synchronized
A dap Adonis set to pulverize
Girl you must believe this, i can blow your mind
Second just to Jesus on the quarter mile
All these crying faces best to get behind me

Chorus:

Aggrandizement
At tipping point
Biz-casz godhead
Lumpen lard anoint
Visage pumped full
To retouch ruin
Expansion on the attic
Gentle storage for illusion
Nag, nag … goes
Doubt’s steady Echo
Such a drag, drag … this
Weeping, clouded fresco
