MOTORPSYCHO - The Same Old Rock (One Must Imagine Sisyphus Happy)

Format: digital

BANDCAMP

Released as a digital-only single from The All Is One, this was the closest that album came to a reasonably short and concise song suited to tell the world a new album was coming. In context on the album this semi-acoustic tune worked really well. As a single? Perhaps not so much. Cover artwork is an alternative Håkon Gullvåg painting not used on the album.

LYRICS:
THE SAME OLD ROCK (One Must Imagine Sisyphus Happy)
(Sæther)

One more day, another day to make it
through. i’ll try to fake it just for you
one more chance to get it all together
they said it would get better
but look at all this mess
we’ve been through…

one more night of pointless speculating
of endlessly debating what to do
round and round – we never seem to get to
what we need to do to
start this whole damn thing anew
i don’t really have a clue – is there nothing left to do?

my crystal ball is fogged up from the doubt
and no one gets what the fight is all about
it’s really hard to hold on and stay strong
when you cannot really even see the point in hanging on

one more night – that’s all i ever wanted
this big old house is haunted
