about

This song started as a dice result. Rolling three dice and getting three 1's was called "anglerfish eyes". That quickly became a dumb little song we'd sing "the answer lies in them anglerfish eyes" and then me being me, I turned it into a whole thing.

A concept album that may still see the light of day eventually was essentially a sailor's album. The Nectarine Navy.. or whatever.

lyrics

The denizen swollen like a pufferfish
Rotting away from the inside, another missed chance
The angels all dance
The anglerfish glance in their direction, cast judgement and then look away
This body is power
The motives are fed into the mind and then kindly disposed of
The ideals are flawless, no god and no government
Search for the meaning inside of, in spite of it

The answer lies in them anglerfish eyes
The answer lies in them anglerfish eyes
The answer lies in them anglerfish eyes
The answer lies in them anglerfish eyes
