about
'Wait and See' is the second offering from our collaboration with friends and co-conspirators Cosmorat (Olly Liu and Taylor Pollock). This track was recorded live, in a room, in one take with no click. The result is a hectic track, with lots of slightly messy imperfections that we absolutely love. The verses are meant to feel closed in, and claustrophobic, in stark contrast to the chorus that is absolutely bursting at the seems with anxious energy.
We added so much percussion to this song - backing vocals screamed into room mics and guitar amps, shakers... Karsten even did a lovely improvised bongo part over each chorus. Enjoy the next building block of the Frau Rat Fantasy.
lyrics
I am stuck in a rut
I just keep burning out
Tryna water my green
But they’re all staring at me
Lift my head up
Keep my eyes shut
Heat is rising
And I’m stuck mesmerised and
How long am I doomed to repeat?
I don’t even let myself breathe
I’ll just wait and see
I want someone to believe
I’ll reach out for anything
Keep my feet on the ground
But I’m still spinning out
Keep my head up
Keep my eyes shut
Heat is rising
And I’m stuck mesmerised and
How long am I doomed to repeat?
I don’t even let myself breathe
All these little habits I keep
I don’t even let myself breathe
I’ll just wait and see
How long am I doomed to repeat?
I don’t even let myself breathe
All these little habits I keep
I don’t even let myself breathe
I’ll just wait and see
I’ll just wait and see
I’ll just wait and see
