Parrhesia - Matt Can't Play Gvitar

from Split by Torrential Downpour/Parrhesia

/

lyrics

And so Stowe’s harp is strung, that sings resolutely though played by cruel hands. Sharply plucked and out of tune, still it sounds in concord with that world. Matching it note for note until its strings wear and break. And yet there is the hope that it will sound the sweeter when played by angelic hands. Syncopation, stress the weaknesses. Articulation, define the meaning behind each note in cold concrete. Sacrifice melody to harmony. We are overcome, in our defense, by the anxiety of and to influence. To make the sounds our hearts suggest; the sounds our souls hear best. And so we lose the love to play. And so, too, the right to say this is the music we make: the strings that bend but won’t ever break.
