I accepted the approach and I took the acid... and then... I became paranoid
Earth Within, Wood Without. A tree digs its roots down into the soil. Earth is soft and Wood grows gentle but firm. In the I Ching this Hexagram is called Watching. The trees have eyes. The leadership position is firm and the following position is soft. They are watching each other, feeling it out.
Wudang Funk opens his eyes and sees the world in a new light, and suddenly is overwhelmed by the feeling that he is being watched. He takes a wild ride in a trip full of paranoia. Who the fuck is that?! Did I say that? Or just think it? ...Can they hear me?
There is a sax solo that is exclusively for the vinyl version of this track.
lyrics
Watch and wait
Who are they?
Lurking over there
Watching us
Watching them
Trying not to stare
Be mindful, Be mindful
They're watching us now
Red and blue
Lights that shine
Watching over me
Eye of Sauron
Omnipresent
Keeping tabs on me
Be careful, Be careful
They're watching us now
*Sheep sounds
Aliens
From other worlds
Watching from the sky
Here on earth
Making sure
We don't step out of line
Be careful, Be careful
They're watching us now

“Sauropoda” defies description; one minute it’s funneling the sound of Afrobeat through synths, the next it’s floating off into space. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 28, 2019
