Dredg – Sang Real

Lyrics

I’m the addict on the corner
I’m the lawyer in the tower
I’m the body with the coroner
No, the leader with all the power
You’re the pillow, the cool side
The sand during high tide
The cocktail, poolside
The water when clouds collide

From the inside out we were formed
From the inside out we will fall
Soon this all will come to an end

I’m a local but a foreigner
Still the addict yet I’m sober
Still the body with the coroner
Many friends yet still a loner
You’re the pillow, the cool side
The sand during high tide
The cocktail, poolside
The water when clouds collide

From the inside out we were formed
From the inside out we will fall
Soon this all will come to an end
Soon this all will come to an end

From the inside out we were formed
From the inside out we will fall
Soon this all will come to an end
Soon this all will come to an end

Owner of a Lonely Heart

Owner of a lonely heart
— much better than a —
owner of a broken heart

Yes (pun unintended). Feeling lonely. Not particularly melancholy about it so this song feels great right now.

Isn’t it funny how these old 70s prog rock bands turned pop in the 80s, but still made quality pop? Yes, Genesis, Rush…

Come to think of it, what exactly separates rock from pop? Is pop just defined by the singles and what-can-be-played-on-the-radio culture? Does it have to do with the content at all?
