Desire & Passion

from OLD SHT I (Demos & Stuff) LP by SHT Musik

/

about

This song is based onthe old Buddhist idea of desire being the root of all human suffering. The other half of this song is about passion which I usually think of as a good thing. Here, however, I am referring to being overly passionate, getting too excited about stuff. You gotta keep a cool head. And I believe that this goes for the good as well as the bad.

lyrics

Watch out for desire
It´s a burning fire
It´s a burning tire
Comes when you´re alone
Swimming on your own
Brave the undertow
Sleep and it will grow
Vine that won´t let go
It´s your greatest foe

I don´t know
But I´ve read
We all end
End up dead
One thing I
Know for sure
The more I want
The more I hurt
More I hurt

Then there´s old passion
Seems a lot of fun
It´s a loaded gun
Feelings run away
Free ride but you´ll pay
Lost another day
Selfishness and pride
Wantin one last ride
Never satisfied

I don´t know
I´ve been told
Road to hell´s
Paved with gold
I don´t know
That´s for sure
I just love to
Play with words
Play with words

about

SHT Musik Valencia, Spain

Like the Lettermen segment from whence comes the name of this project, these are my stupid human tricks. They are simple home recordings done almost always as a one-man band.
Mostly the songs are about the human condition, my personal trials and tribulations with inner demons and addictions, and anything else that I find interesting or amusing.
