About this album
I can't believe I spent 3 years recording this album (very inconsistently!).
It's been the strangest time - this was originally going to be an album about daydreaming and feeling alone while stuck in my house during lockdown, but as time progressed I learnt more about myself and started to actually understand these feelings. While themes of daydreaming are still ever present throughout, I eventually realised quite late into the process that I'm actually just singing about autism, ADHD, and gender dysphoria. That's right, I've got the full wombo combo, and maybe I'll speak about it more one day in the future.
Tracks 8, 9, and 10 are more lighthearted fun, and have much less to do with the overarching theme, but they're songs I'm still really proud of and would love for you to hear. Fun fact, back in 2018 on a livestream I once said I'd eventually make a proper song about cats, and here we finally are!
All lyrics, instruments, vocals, production by TomboFry (now moonfloof).
I had some help and inspiration with the lyrics on tracks 8-11, from someone who goes by Papaya. He didn't want any credit but he's a wonderful person and I couldn't just not!

Lyrics
Plug me in
Online surfing
Racing down the highway
Cyber in my mind
Connected to computers
Humans intertwined
I've become a robot
In perfect harmony
Living in a work of fiction
For everyone to see
Living virtually
In a new reality
Driving in hovercars
Buy my all-new virtual avatars
We don't need our planet
We're comfortable and free
And everything is burning
But it doesn't bother me
Mining for gold in the open seas
Information is currency
Minting pictures of monkeys
Mocked by our future's history
In a world where we must hold on for our lives
(Plug me in)
We escape the negativity and the lies
(Online surfing)
Make the same mistakes again and again and again
(Living virtually)
Suffering the same old fate until the end
(In a new reality)
