Das musikalische Chamäleon DEVIN TOWNSEND veröffentlicht heute den zweiten Song seiner “Power Nerd” Langrille, die für den 25. Oktober auf dem Veröffentlichungszettel steht. `Jainism` zeigt die atmosphärische und auch heavy Seite des Kanadiers.
Devin lässt uns wissen:
“This next song was based on my connection to music in the mid nineties. Also the idea of what it means to rend yourself artistically to an unresponsive world in 2024. I referenced The Wildhearts in the chorus, as Ginger is one of our generations greatest songwriters. In preparation for ‘The Moth’, PowerNerd is meant to look back and celebrate the past before moving forward. Thank you for the support…back to work here :)”

Lyrics:
Life goes on
We’re turning the pages tumultuously
Toward certain disaster
Weeks and days with broken wings
I don’t mind…
My will is the master
‘Please release me, crawl my way back to the ground’
…The world makes a cried-out, dried-out sound…
And this is so much larger
All we are is a fading madness
All we are is a place in time
All we have is the faith that it’s all gonna change…
…GET ME OUT
Take a minute
You’re only as strong as your mind
Enduring depression… weeks and days with rubber knees
But I Don’t mind…
…I’m grace under pressure
‘Please release me, I’ve been here for so long…’
…The world makes a dried-out, fucked up sound
This is so much larger
All we are is a faded madness
All we are is a place in time
All we have is the faith that it’s all gonna change…
SO GET ME OUT
Seek the middle
Through words of fire
The worthy reach me, I’ve no place for you now
Cause this is so much larger
All we are is a faded madness
All we are is a place in time
All we have is the faith that it’s all going to Jainism
All we are is a faded madness
All we were was a place in time
If all we have is the faith that it’s all going to change
GET ME OUT
Brother, you’ve got to pay… what have you got to say
Brother, you gotta to pay…
I’VE ALREADY GOT YOU
