about

The song was born on a sunday afternoon: while reading “Four Quartets” by T.S. Eliot I recognized in his words my own sense of inadequacy towards mine and others’ feelings.
Men standing before their own time - inside of it - looking for an allegorical answer to the constant doubts on the usefulness of life.
Is it a matter of awareness, ostensible conviction, or futility?

lyrics

The details of love is movement
It's what I think about our time today
All of things remind me of that movement
So stop breathing I'm getting stoned again

Love is itself unknown
The yellow and green eyes / brighter rose
Are you?

Can words or music reach
In this time I think it's better to quit
It's not useless to be whatever I
So stop breathing, I'm getting stoned again

Love is itself unknown
The yellow and green eyes / brighter roses are gone
Love is itself unknown
The yellow and green eyes / brighter rose
Are you?

Believe me or not
I'm a useless thought

The Mills is Corelli meeting Yorke.
It's the grays in black and white.
It's punk and the urge to feel better.
Since 2019 and whatever.
