about
X I A N X P (pronounced "Christian Experience") is a tongue-in-cheek take on the mental apparatus undergirding the European imperial project. The song is from a bunch of recordings done with Cameron Smith at Incremental Records (Brisbane), which are part of our forthcoming first album, "Thanatophobia" -- due mid-late 2020.
lyrics
__________
This aint the path of least resistance
I can try if I am ready to die
I am eggshells, but I can be better
I can Christ & I can crucify
I’ve been sitting here thinking I haven't been sinking in electric fields of opium
Every fornication making bridges to love
Aint that the Christian Experience?
We’re riding on the corpses of the gods
Pretending that they never were
We are riding on the shadow of the blind idiot Gods
You can put yourself on that cross, you could be anyone or every one of us
I am eggshells, but I can be better
I can try if I am ready to die
I’ve been sitting here thinking I haven’t been sinking in electric fields of opium
Riding on the shadow of blind idiot Gods
you can put yourself on their cross, you could be any one or every one of us
I am eggshells, but I can be better
I can Christ & I can crucify
I’ve been sitting here thinking I haven’t been sinking in electric fields of opium
