"Misconceptions / The Crux Of It All" lyrics
(feat. Astrid S)
How many cold vitriolic gazes
Before these signs of wear will show?
Did I ever reach out, begging for crumbs?
Are you here in my head? You know what I want
Say you're building me up but tearing me down
And I don't want fame, I don't want a crown
If that's what it takes, I don't want a part
To jump when they say, it's not what I want
Not everyone understood the project. The intent is to pay tribute to the artists and genres that paved the way, that forged us. And so, Profound Mysteries was, or rather is, exactly that: tribute. A very eclectic tribute at that. And very esoteric. So, I believe the whole concept went over many people's heads. They simply do not have the background. The schooling, if you will.
