Lyrics Antipodean Tedium - Linea Aspera

Antipodean Tedium

Apathetic model-slash-DJ: he has quite the debt to pay,
but never trust the boy who threw his life away.
Carelessly he rots out west, tethered to 'self-obsession with a vintage twist'.
All the place I left behind, and it eats itself up from the inside.
This is where the hideous meets the meaningless.
This is where the scum of the earth
inflates their worth.
This is where the tedious leads the dispossessed.
This is where the scum of the earth
inflates their worth.
Antiquated skins in an antiquated scene:
exhibitions of affliction, performance and revelry.
Superficial, synthetic excesses;
civilisation at its narcissistic best.
All in the place I left behind, and it eats itself up from the inside.
This is where the hideous meets the meaningless.
This is where the scum of the earth
inflates their worth.
This is where the tedious leads the dispossessed.
This is where the scum of the earth
inflates their worth.
Craving the past as a pastime;
dredging up the old and draining it dry.
The horse could be dead for years
and a beating is all it’s good for here.
This is what I left behind, and it’ll eat itself up from the inside.
I hope they’re satisfied…
This is where the hideous meets the meaningless.
This is where the scum of the earth
inflates their worth.
This is where the tedious leads the dispossessed.
This is where the scum of the earth
inflates their worth.
