Hailing from Western Australia, Watson began recording self-produced music as GUM in 2011. The alias is short for his nickname, Gumby. The project's first album, Delorean Highway, arrived on Spinning Top Music in 2014. He followed it a year later with Glamorous Damage, and the synth-hook-heavy Flash in the Pan saw release in 2016. Without relinquishing synths, a more streamlined psych rock defined The Underdog, which arrived on Spinning Top in 2018. Still putting out albums with Pond and on call for the live version of Tame Impala, Watson issued GUM's fifth long-player, Out in the World, in 2020.
There are others artists with the same name:
(2) Gum are a London based, four piece musical pop group. Gum were born on Thursday 15th September 2011 and are not dead yet.
(3) Back in the late '80s, Melbourne's Andrew Curtis and Philip Samartzis collaborated in the aurally volatile project simply called Gum. With little expertise or training, the two gathered up what objects they were familiar with, in particular thrift store turntables and soiled records. Eschewing their original attraction to the giants of Industrial Culture, Gum quickly developed an aesthetic privileging the caustic rupture of skipping records and smoldering surface noise, predating the current avant-turntablist aficionados like Philip Jeck, Janek Schaefer, and Otomo Yoshihide. With the publication of Gum's Vinyl Anthology, 23five, Inc uncovers the bulk of Gum's work, including all of the material from their self-published albums Vinyl and 20 Years in Blue Movies and Yet to Fake an Orgasm as well as several infamous compilation tracks and plenty of unreleased material.
(4) Gum is an indie rock band from CT/NY.
(5) Gum is the doom/sludge metal band from Italy.

Everyone
Think their life

(Outro)
Seventy, out the quarthe pain
The creep feeling
Wonder by i but in

(Chorus "repeat 2 times")
I don't want
It's to live
I
Wont you need me
For in seid
Can shut se
But i
Bury chem the night
(I gonna chem the night)
"Gemini" is a song by Gum, which seems to be a reflection about life and the feelings that come with it. The intro of the song begins with "Everyone/Think their life/I sain to say/Are make my live", indicating that everyone has a different perception of their own life, and that can affect others’ life. The singer then goes on to repeat "I don't want/It's to live/I/Wont you need me/For in seid/Can shut se/But I/Bury chem the night", which appears to be a call for help. The singer seems to be going through a difficult time and wants someone to see the pain they are experiencing.
The outro of the song adds more to the emotional tone of the song when it says "I feel, but so it says/It's to plant/The hamer windowins". It is a metaphor for when someone is feeling something intensely but is not able to express it in words. The final part of the song repeats "I don't want/It's to live/I/Wont you need me/For in seid/Can shut se/But I/Bury chem the night", which emphasises the desperation in the singer's voice.
