Lyrics
The Calin Wultur case got a damp spot from the AC leak,
Humidity in here is biblical, been that way for a week.
Got that old-wood-and-rosin smell, a rich kid's mausoleum,
But tonight it ain't a headstone, it's a goddamn museum.
Plugged the Behringer C-1 straight into the Scarlett box,
Drew the bow across the A string, felt the old foundation rock.
Pitched it down a whole damn octave 'til the note began to fray,
Heard a voice in all that static, sounded like it came to stay.
[Chorus]
(Different Vocalist) This that ghost note gospel, listen.
(Different Vocalist) This the sound of a crack in the plinth.
(Different Vocalist) This that low tide rhythm, gifted.
(Different Vocalist) From the bone-yard ruins, ever since.
[Verse 2]
Threw a Southside kick on it, hi-hats skitterin' like a roach
On the Formica countertop at three AM, the only sane approach.
My professor told me, "Kai, your intonation's off a bit..."
Heard his voice say it in Logic, so I compressed the shit outta it.
This a different kind of perfect, like the verdigris on a gate,
It's the beauty in the breakage, a much more honest state.
(Music drops to 808 and one dry vocal line)
Gilded all the frayed ends of the horsehair on the bow...
(Full beat returns)
Now I park a rich man's Phantom, and I let the system blow.
[Chorus]
(Different Vocalist) This that ghost note gospel, listen.
(Different Vocalist) This the sound of a crack in the plinth.
(Different Vocalist) This that low tide rhythm, gifted.
(Different Vocalist) From the bone-yard ruins, ever since.
[Bridge]
(Different Vocalist) They wanted a concerto.
(Different Vocalist) We gave 'em a confession.
(Different Vocalist) They wanted a foundation.
(Different Vocalist) We gave 'em the subsidence.
[Outro]
The red light on the Scarlett's still bleedin' on the wall.
Guess I finally learned to play the thing after all.
About Gilded Algae
Kai Alston, known as Gilded Algae, was supposed to be a classical cellist. After a spectacular flameout at the Savannah College of Art and Design left him with crippling debt and a deep-seated imposter syndrome, he started making trap music in his small apartment, sampling the very instrument that represented his failure.
