about
Fusing indie rock with electrifying dance elements, Cut the Carpets is Moon Sand Land’s most playful and experimental endeavor yet. Drawing inspiration from LCD Soundsystem, the song showcases a rhythmic rant that zig zags from one erratic thought to the next. Through the combination of whimsical, sporadic lyrics and an innovative sonic arrangement, the overall intensity and driving pulse of the song builds to total combustion. With this kind of chaos, dancing is the only solution.
lyrics
escalators
build of concrete
an outlook on life
fatal to blow
red canvas
peachy tiles
far from a headcheck
paradise lost
eat well while you can
no one has your sympathies
Every time i choose to forget
it's personal
major step to convenience
minimalist mediation
hobbyists keeping their pride
cut the carpets
cut the carpets, in the dark
cut the carpets
sever the ends
go on and save it for friends
trust the process
ease the pressure
it's the easiest
not the hardest
to aggravate
listless updates
to be suspicious
to seal the measurement
you got to level up
it's freeing to feel conflicted
even when i'm out of it
fleeting for eternity
it's good company
vibrant through it's freshness
shallowing diving
just another way to get by
cut the carpets
cut the carpets, in the dark
cut the carpets, in the dark
safely frowning
is decent therapy
dares me to find meaning
without reality
helpful indecision
wonn't work myself out of it
standing with one foot leaning
don't stop to move
you know i'm gonna have my reasons
it's the only way to stay adamant
positivety is essential to thrive
we buy smiles
i'll sell you one for a dime
cut the carpets
cut the carpets, in the dark
cut the carpets, in the dark
cut the carpets
sever the ends
go on and save it for friends
easy to be told
don't mean the disrespect
last that's ever been
the same as what i win
down we all go in reality
don't believe me
we buy smiles
so give it a try, give it a try
give it a try, give it a try
go on and save it for friends
