about

Second track of the 'Beggar Princess' EP.
Written shortly after then-candidate-for-president Donald Trump remarked he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and nobody would do a thing. The song tries to dig into the mindset of a man capable of such a remark.

lyrics

I’m floating on a sea of hubris
And the servile few keep growing
Into a school of mini-mes
I’m living like I always wanted
My words are people’s gospel
And it affects my mind, my friend

I can not keep things to myself

Dearie me
I’m floating on a sea of pleasantries
’Cause no-one tells me no
And I don’t say please
Or any of those other niceties
’Cause that shit’s just weak

The other day I felt like sharing
So I handed my wisdom down
And it caused a pretty scene
Some shout at me, but I’m not worried
I’m protected by laws I loathe
And therefor disregard

I find myself the perfect man

Dearie me
I’m floating on a sea of pleasantries
’Cause no-one tells me no
And I don’t say please
Or any of those other niceties
’Cause that shit’s just weak
That shit is just weak

There were shots from some poor dummy
I never said to take my meaning by the word
Dear listener, don’t worry about me
I’m up here safe and sound
In my precious ivory tower

From a great big height
I see your plight
Now fight

The Fisherman & The Sea Helsinki, Finland

From Finland – a country that allegedly holds more metal bands than park rangers are able to rescue from their gothic photoshoots in the hinterlands, and where disoriented polar bears roam downtown shopping centres – hail singer-songwriter Jon Eden and his band. His roots also put him in Hamburg, Germany thus planting him somewhere in the Baltic Sea in compromise – hence the name of the band. ... more
