At what level in our lives to we agree to participate within the efficiency of human society? As SCHKEUDITZER KREUZ‘s beats rain down on me like hammers from the sky and the excitement and hum of “Ratchet”‘s melody interferes with my mind waves, I consider that time the place I misplaced who I in point of fact used to be to the sport of having together with everybody else so I may just grab at emotions of being secure and cared for.

This tune began with the beat that sits beneath the verse, and all of it got here in combination from there: first the type of bouncy, virtually circus-like synth line – I may just pay attention it in my head as quickly because the drums got here in combination. And from that, I put the lyrics in combination: concerning the display, the efficiency this is each what I do with track, but in addition the efficiency this is lifestyles. The entire thing is reanalysing what’s going on in my head as I attempt to throw the entirety I’ve into lifestyles, while at all times listening to that clock ticking: understanding I get older and falling aside, and that it’s going to finish in the future.
