Obvious Corruption

- The write-up Welcome to The Inbetween: The liminal club. It's empty. You don't know how you got here or why. Double Entendre: We're in the middle of the Inbetween like the W in "between" References: "Rooms in the back if you know what I mean" alluding to popular liminal horror property "The Backrooms" "Wherever we are now Slow floating under the stars now It’s okay to be uncertain, Cause I'm certain that it's fine" Lyrics from "Wherever We are Now" from the cassette beasts soundtrack (song fits the liminal theme) "Gaze into your shadows eyes and say thou art I" An smt Persona reference, which itself is a reference to Carl Jung shadow work stuff, which relates to liminality. "Cross roads untraveled" Hekate's crossroads is a liminal space "The storm, cold inside the warm" I'm here to tell you Dio's "Last in Line" is liminal in its theme.

There are three drops in the song (1) before the second drop there’s a dramatic pause (2) the third buildup is a fake out (3) into a section that is lower energy before the last drop (4). The bass switches between the drop and the rest of the song (5). (Also there’s a big chant in the drop, but that was more a vocalist choice so I’m only half counting it (and there are a number of others decision I made but there's a lot of overlap in the example ideas so I only listed 5)) Pockets; verse is in half time, pre chorus is just a snare roll, drop is in full time with hats that move into triplets, bridge part 1 is full time which a four on the floor kick, but juxtaposes a 3:2 polyrhythm using the bass. Low energy cuts to just the hats.

Don't know what the noise or the signal is now
we'll maybe take a minute just to figure it out 
There's no rocks to be kicking around cause
That really ain't what this place about no

Don't look scared, just consider it fine
We only here for a limited time I'm
not here and neither are you 
We're passing through
Noones around

Welcome to The Inbetween
Got room in the back if you know what I mean
Wherever we are now
Slow floating under the stars now
It’s okay to be uncertain,
Cause I'm certain that it's fine
To be out here lost in time
It's uncertain by design
Hold fast forward pause rewind


Let it slow down let it flow out of your conscious mind
Gaze into shadow's eye and say thou art I
The stage no one on it, the floor got no one in it
We're moving to the next stage of our lives




Grab your cups and we'll fill em up with NOTHING
The backroom is fully stocked with NOTHING
I don't remember where I put my NOTHING
We've still got NOTHING
This is not NOTHING



It's calm before the storm the cold inside the warm
It's that Formless aimless forced reflection
Find your needs and then collect them
Toss aside the things that hold you back and relax
Into the still tide where you reside now. It's facts
That you've  been run ragged
Who you were is being unraveled
Best you get prepared 
Don't just sit and stare
Pack it up and
cross roads untraveled.
You feel like you've been pulled apart.
You won't have answers to the questions right when you press start no


It's not about the journey or the destination now
We can move forward and I'll show you how
It's no arrival, it's no departure
we're between it, we're in transit so
Crank the silence loud

Chorus

We're in the middle of the inbetween like the W in between
We're the flash you on your tv screen
There no dust cause the slates so clean
