Lyrics

I don't see my longevity here
twenty-three, you're a pretty bad year
missed my bill for internet in my chrysalis
how will I notify
my ex hibitionist

round my floor, wreck-tangle my door
said it clean
cause a lie means war
missed my kill on the internet
every gray wolf, her day will come

filebox,
filebox,
filebox.

round, round my floor
where love is, say it clean
where war cries, go for the kill
every golden wolf has her filebox

filebox, filebox, filebox.
filebox, filebox, filebox.

So polished and energized. So many positives about the production vocals and instrumentation.

I agree with many of the comments below: great piano, great vocals (somehow you are both all you and yet also somewhat reminiscent of Perry Farrell here, while managing to channel some Beatles-style harmonies too). And I love the lyrics, perhaps even more because I'm sure I don't understand them completely. Really interesting stuff.

That piano! OMG! And then those vocals! Right off the bat I know this is gonna be an epic journey. And then those harmonies kick in. Oh yes. This is wonderful.

Great invention on this song that makes for a really interesting listen. I'm intrigued as to how you came up with the lyrics - wondered whether you might have used the cut up technique?

Found this song from the recommended forum thread. So many layers here that blend beautifully together, and the lyrics are a journey that makes you hit the replay button. I see why anyone would recommend this one, great job.

wow, this is like some strange dream where everything is different and strange but somehow makes sense in the moment, tho later you have no idea how to even explain it! :) nice work, love the vocal harmonies and the whole sonic picture is detailed and psychedelic and weird and wild!

Oh wow, this is stunning! This is inspirational to me, as it really showcases the kind of music 5090 can produce and makes me want to push myself more. Love the vocal harmonies when they come in, the track starts to soar. Whoop! 👏

Love those toms and cool melody - very riffy feel to the piano that is really awesome! Fun rhymes and lush vocal layers and harmonies! The concise lyrics are wonderfully quirky and relatable. Fantastic production! Fabulous sound!

Hypnotic in both write and song! Here's to walking over the competition with this one.

Why is this so relatable even with such inscrutable lyrics? I feel you on filebox and it's so unexpected! (I definitely have filebox drama myself lately)

The piano got me first. Nice expressive use of the pedals. The beat has such a groove. Vocal harmonies are so giant and expansive, makes me think of later Beatles. Speaking of those guys, I noticed the pun in "round my floor, rectangle my door"!

EDIT TO ADD: Hi, I'm back. This song is so deeply in my head. I literally came to the fawm webpage just to search "filebox" and press play. pure auditory sorcery.

There's a wonderful mystery and aggressiveness to the piano runs and drums. And those vocals -- wow! The song as a whole has a funky poppiness to it that I really like. The soaring intensity of the music means that, even if I admit I'm not sure I understand the literal intent behind the abstract lyrics, they're filled with drama. Really cool song!

that piano and those drums are killing me. i dont understand the lyrics but the vocals are spectacular.

great word play the words almost turn around on themselves. I like stretching out the words as well! a bit beatlish psychedelia yet with some modern noise Very classy song!
