about

Alone at Parties performing Board Games live at Rocket Space sometime in late August.

Ever been to a party where you didn’t really know anyone and didn’t know what to do with yourself? Nodding politely, strategizing when to speak, being afraid that the joke you have in mind might save you or completely ruin you? Pondering on what people usually do with their hands? As specific as it might seem, this is what a soundtrack to that would sound like.

lyrics

Trying so hard
‘Til the end of our lives
Pulling the plug
We intend to survive
But it’s all just a matter of timing

Fighting against all the odds
Making up puzzles then pull them apart
It’s a race and a hellhole at times

Are we lost in the other mistakes
Of our fathers and moms
Looking for answers and finding yourself
When you’re drunk and allowed
But you’re just messing about

Tying the ends
To explain where you are
You never required too much to unwind
But it’s stress that a ball cannot handle

Reaching a state that’s opposed to the art
Stale as a board game you played all your life
You would like to find some meaning

Are we lost in the other mistakes
Of our
Fathers and moms
Looking for answers and finding yourself
When you’re drunk and allowed
But you’re just messing about
Yeah I’m just laughing aloud
Yeah we’re just looking around
