Achilles Heel is a one off track that I wanted to put out in support of our Ohana Tree show on April 16th at Los Globos. The song is about being faded in a club/music venue and being so drowned in the music that no one else exists. Even though in reality, there's hundreds of people around you.
lyrics
Hawaii's playing in the water singing to L.A./
the ears, to strain the melody to the brain/
hands around the neck like a plumeria lei/
constricting the veins, a beautiful pain/
scared of real life that’s why I’m here now/
Fill the glass up, burn reality down/
alone in the crowd laughing like a clown
If you try to approach, I won’t hear a sound/
I didn’t google map directions to your pants/
I’m here for the bass and the movement ma’m/
You can think slug for that/
The atmosphere is great the drinks makes me dance/
I feel the decibels dancing on my skin/
crawling all over like arachnids/
it feels so good, but the metaphor’s weird/
Everything’s blurry but life’s so clear/
Everyone’s looking at me, am I/
a disease I just wanna feel free and float/
through this sea, stop talking to me let’s crumple/
the speech and speak the body language complete/
My heart’s never thumped this loud/
Is it my chest or the subs on the ground/
I think I’m trippin’ out get me out/
Wait, I’m okay now, let’s get another round/
Low End to the face I can taste every sound/
take off my lips and pass um around/
Low End to the face I can taste every sound/
take off my lips and pass um around/
Pass um' around, pass um' around/
Pass um' around, pass um' around/
Low end to the face you can taste every sound/
Take off YOUR face and pass um around/
