FAWM: "Blast Off Into Space"

Blast Off Into Space

NSFW

Liner Notes

This one began life as a little idea I recorded on my phone in September 2024, except then the lyrics were the nonsensical 'castles in my haaaaaaands'. No idea what that meant so I rewrote them about everyone's least favourite South African nazi.

Rough mix / vocal. Might have overdone it on the saturation.

Lyrics

blast off into space!

blast off into space
bugger off, and take your ugly face
set your controls for the heart of the sun

blast off! show off! grand moff
dunning kruger, just fuck off
blast off! rip off! death above

blast off into space
left overs of the human race

blast off! show off! grand moff
dunning kruger, just fuck off
blast off! rip off! death above

goodbye, au revoir
it's goodbye forever
into the sun
it's goodbye

blast off into space!
blast off into space!

So rare that I hear anyone using portamento on synth these days. Well placed. It complements the space theme. It's almost like a nod to the theremin used in the 50s sci-fi film scores. Nice!
