Lyrics
Marine Biology Monday
Check the oscilloscope
Phones don't work since the grid went down
We're leaning in hard on hope
Traipsing through burned out starship hulls
She's dressed in Victorian plaid
Cottage Core can't quite cut it
And paisley's the province of Dad
End times are so boring (End times are so dull)
Let's pick up the plot threads that we've been ignoring
Ridley and me
After the A.P.O.C.A.L.Y.P.S.E.
World building, literally
Fighting for the future of the artistocracy
Another linguistic landslide
The bit has gone on too long
Now the bit is that the bit goes on forever
The bit is now part of this song
Theme for the Hero's Journey
Diegetic music or score?
Five man band? Slice of life?
We haven't worked out the lore
End times are so boring (End times are so dull)
Let's pick up the plot threads that we've been ignoring
Ridley and me
After the A.P.O.C.A.L.Y.P.S.E.
World building, literally
Fighting for the future of the artistocracy
Copium for trying times (for these trying times)
Just to mitigate the rancid vibes
I'll make a fine village elder
Ridley's a natural scribe
But we'll need some kind of Yojimbo figure
To teach fighting skills to the tribe
Training montage! Transformation sequence!
Magical System! Oddly specific weakness!
Character development! Character design!
Liminal spaces! Liminal times!
End times are so boring (End times are so dull)
Let's pick up the plot threads that we've been ignoring
Ridley and me
After the A.P.O.C.A.L.Y.P.S.E.
World building, literally
Fighting for the future of the artistocracy
Character development, character design
Liminal spaces for liminal times
Character development, character development
Character development
Character!
