"This is a pep talk!"


If you've ever experienced something that made you not want to leave the house, this song is about getting back out there, living your best life and rising above the bullshit.

The sound of the record was inspired by Tofu Boy's passions: engineering / making / retro video games. Listen out for drum sounds and FX created using an 8-bit speech synthesizer, and a Nintendo 2ds - which was in its element laying down the energetic punk percussion on this track.

lyrics

a wall is a floor at a different angle
a side is a plane as an obstacle
a plane running to the horizon is an empty space
a wall gives it character and terrain

terrain is for a journey you can chose which path to tread
don’t fret about it too much though for all you'll wind up dead

so did you have fun on the journey?
did you know yourself?
did you live fearlessly?
and play the cards you are dealt?

if not he comes for you early
trapped inside your seatbelt

this is a pep talk
for this life
this is a pep talk
when they're twisting the knife
this is a pep talk
your body's the host
this is a pep talk
one way's on the signpost
