During 2010 Andy has facilitated the production of a brand new project. It boasts a 16-track album, 55,000-word novella and over twenty pieces of artwork; it has been no small feat. And this is exactly why it will not be released all at once. During the four seasons of 2011 the album will be hung, drawn and quartered before being released as four EPs alongside the four corresponding seasons of the novella. It is the culmination of many hours spent musing on the roll that art plays in a world of consumer culture and selfish capitalism and goes hand in hand with all that Andy is exploring through the blog on his website and his DIY approach toward putting the whole project out. In October and November 2010 you can become a patron of One World Less by contributing to the Pledge Music Campaign. You can get a veritable treasure trove of treats depending on how much you would like to give to the cause, including boxsets, original artwork, tee-shirts, and even acoustic gigs in your home. Find more information on the website. It is going to be an exciting year for Atlum Schema with many more shows, full-band as well as the usual solo loop/sample extravaganza, and a continued emphasis on the sharing of ideas and inspiration through the blog and podcast that Andy has developed.
Moon City
Atlum Schema Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know, but it seems clear.
There's so much,
Gotta take all of it in.
Out of luck
Cos you're there and you're with him
You're a lier; the truth's turning
There's so much,
Gotta take all of it in.
Out of luck
Cos you're there and you're with him
In the dark dark city with the oh so pretty lights
In the dark dark city with the oh so pretty lights
Where the boy is pretty and he's staying out tonight
Don't come back you've already made your mind up
In the dark dark city with the oh so pretty lights
In the dark dark city with the dirty shitty fights
In the dark dark city with the oh so pretty lights
In the dark dark city with the drunk and fitting shites
Where the boy is pretty and he's staying out tonight
Don't come back you've already made your mind up
Where the boy keeps hitting so you take him home tonight
Don't come back you've already made your mind up
"Moon City" by Atlum Schema explores the confusion, pain and uncertainty that one experiences after a breakup. The first verse of the song sets the stage with the singer expressing that things are strange, but the situation is clear. Perhaps this is their first encounter with their ex after the split, and the emotions are overwhelming. The chorus indicates that there is so much to take in, and the singer is out of luck because their former partner is with someone else. The pain of watching someone you care about move on without you is almost unbearable.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's emotions. Their head is on fire, consumed by the turmoil of the situation, and they accuse their ex of lying while the truth is turned on its head. The bridge of the song reveals the setting of the story; the dark city with pretty lights, dirty fights and people behaving badly. The darkness of the city serves as a metaphor for the emotional darkness the singer is experiencing. They know that their ex has already decided to move on and leave them behind, but it still hurts. The song concludes with the singer acknowledging that their ex will not be coming back, but they will continue to hold onto the memory of what they once had.
