Mars about to leave

I don’t act, I think, don’t I? Put my magic helmet on. We don’t speak, we think, don’t we? Get out of my cranium. I hear you but i wanna be alone. Escape into that world of my own. Where I don’t need no one. Well, I don’t mean no harm. I gotta go, Mars is about to leave.

A man in the mirror

Air drumming. Kids calling. Air drumming. I’m looking at a man in the mirror. He’s looking down on me.

Selfish food

|
Jazzmaster bird. I encrypt these words. Let’s sail to the sun. I have failed in this world. Selfish food. I’m saving myself for something else. Like a cat stuck in slow sand. Got nine lives and a short attention span. I am selfish food.

Tiles

|
I erase any mistake. White with foam, clean your soul. Think, drink, dive in the sink. Swim, skim, embark the stream. Whatever you unleash, there is no better priest. Lock yourself up and bleed. Angel of light on my wall too. The unreversed, true image of you. Tells you when to stop cutting your ego up. Whatever you unleash, there is no better priest. Lock yourself up and bleed.

Stay away

I felt you this morning, saying that word. I thought I was free. What’s up? Burning birds? Body was light. Body was light. Tickling days. Tickling nights. Stay away.

Empty-headed man

|
|
||
|
Empty-headed man= your quiet bloke, no use for a joke, always up for a drink, thinks it helps him to think, likes to sleep, no use for dreams.

Magnus lives in a tree
01:15
|
|
||
|
Magnus lives in a tree. Only goes out to water the rabbits. A slippery ladder to friendship. He would trade you in for a blast beat. Magnus lives in a tree.

Black hole
00:54
|
|
||
|
It’s closing in, reversal of time. Soldiers of tin, shrinking the mind. The campus is empty. The hippo has left me. The nothing is coming. You better start running. I’m 20, I’m 10, I’m 5 years old, fighting the gravity of a black hole. Everybody looks the same, everybody knows my name.

Hexagon head
02:25
|
|
||
|
Can I walk on your rings today? I'm sad. Can I look inside your hexagon head? It's rad! Can you help me defeat my winter ghost? He's not the only one who owns me, I suppose. Can I walk on your rings today? I'm sad. Can I look inside your hexagon head? It's rad! Can I join your army of dead stones? I would blend in well with my hollow bones. Can I join your army of dead stones? Together we can haunt my winter ghost.

Hoag's object
02:08
|
|
||
|
City lights, space junk, sky cracks, mushroom cloud. Cold places, dark places, sad faces, angry faces. You see us, don't you? Tiny creatures, big egos, big words, windows closed. City lights, space junk, sky cracks, mushroom cloud. You see us, don't you?

Stop the flow
03:00
|
|
||
|
Stop the flow. Right now forever. Static division. Right now forever, go. Stop the flow. A golden penguin in the rain, prancing on a cargo train. She is an aeroplane, stop the flow. Golden penguin in the rain, she is an aeroplane, prancing on a cargo train. Let her go. Stop the flow.

Take me back to the new glitch. Did you have the same dream?

Dragon hiss
02:12
|
|
||
|
The dragon hiss is spinning again. I nearly lost myself in a sonic rain. You can always trust the old crush, leading me back to the light through a crack in the road. I am myself again: a confused toad. You can always trust the old crush.

Call me down.

This Heel Malmö, Sweden
Martin Månsson Sjöstrand’s alter ego THIS HEEL was born as a side-project to DOG PAPER SUBMARINE in late 2014 due to too many songs piling up. Since the disbandment of DPS, This Heel has naturally grown into one of Sjöstrand’s main projects and includes, from time to time, a bunch of people referring to themselves as the invisible space monkey orchestra. ... more
