It occurred one day to Ecid, founder of the record label, “Fill in the Breaks,” to piece together a project where he could supply himself and three other MC’s, who he though were worthy of collaboration, with his own hand picked beats. It just so happens that all three people that he proposed his plea to decided to go out on a limb, before all of the members even met each other. After assessing first impression Kristoff, Capaciti and Impulse all agreed that this would be worth there time and they began, that following Saturday. It didn’t take long before these four individuals managed to merge their self-absorbed lanes into one unpaved road that anyone would be hesitant to walk down alone.
With Ecid’s desperate attack wrapped in sincerity, Capacities heart-driven persuasion, Kristoff’s flimsy intention vibes and Impulses outbursts of piercing touch this group winds up generating noise that is bound to lure listeners toward a destination that is unknown to their ears.
Ecid, the one responsible for gathering this group of individuals states: “We wanted to make an album that would be stripped down, honest and simply put, "free," free in the sense that it wouldn't be restricted by any boundaries whether that be writing, rapping and or beat-wise.”
There first and only full length record, “Saturday Morning Soundtrack,” contains everything from pretty and colorful to bouncy and anxious, but regardless of what style is delivered, one can always sense the degree of care and concern imbedded in this assembly of explorers.
Adopted Birth Defect
Saturday Morning Soundtrack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They need attention
Eat the children
to feed intention
Everyones invited so bring a friendship
Everyones invited bring the butterknife and tension
The lyrics to Saturday Morning Soundtrack's "Adopted Birth Defect" are a vivid commentary on the societal pressure to conform to certain expectations, even when it is morally wrong or harmful. The opening lines, "Feed the family, They need attention, Eat the children, to feed intention," suggest a grim scenario in which individuals sacrifice their own morals for the sake of fitting in and satisfying societal expectations. The lyrics seem to be invoking the idea of the "rat race," where people sacrifice their own well-being for the sake of competing and fitting in with those around them.
The second half of the lyrics, "Everyones invited so bring a friendship, Everyones invited bring the butterknife and tension," continue the theme of societal pressure and the lengths that people go to fit in. The invitation to "bring a friendship" might be read as a kind of pressure to conform and fit in with the group, while the request to bring a butterknife and tension suggests the presence of violence or aggression within the group. The lyrics seem to be asking the listener to question the harmful aspects of social conformity and to resist the pressure to sacrifice one's own morality for the sake of fitting in.
