Since starting my career outside Japan and picking up more and more on western culture.... I got to say:
New Years eve and New Year's Day...get the fuck out of here with closing stores and shit! It should not be a real holiday. Not unless you are willing to elevate st Patrick's day to that level. The celebration is the same,ie: drinking. So why the special treatment for New Years? Big fucking deal,the earth made a big circle. That is what it was meant to do. Billions of planets do it every day,and nobody celebrates,or closes early for them! St Patrick chased all the snakes out of Ireland armed only with a shillelagh and a potato. That seems far more impressive than nature doing what nature does. Snakes are notorious for not sitting still so you can smack them with a shillelagh,and can't be bribed with potatoes. Am I saying lose one of the days it is ok to get shit faced drunk and pee on your dog? No. I am saying let us make it two! St Patrick's day needs this treatment too. I like I sleep in after a day of gorging on Guinness and corned beef... And to be discharged from the hospital after numerous snake bites.

Fuck New Years and its trotting around all special.

Kai: New Year is ace, Mariko Mario Kobayashi. Tonight I plan to get drunk as a skunk and piss in someone's shoes. Probably mine. Unless I go for the big risk and try to piss in the shoes of someone with the shoes on their feet. However, tomorrow, I agree with you. Why the hell are shops shut? I need my fucking Lucozade. People who close their stores are smelly, hairy, blue-waffled cunts. Cream pie. No reason, just cream pie.

Mariko:,miss sonyae,i can not help it. A dirty mind is a kobayashi trait. My grandfathers funeral service mentioned his finally marrying his wife in 1969. We all giggled at 1969. Some even high fives each other.

@Kai ew! I offer a pair of my shoes. But not my feet. I draw the line at golden showers. Pee is nasty. Shops should totally be open,right? I want to see everyone half dead from hangover and still encrusted in semen. That is what New Years is about. I know that is how I am celebrating... Aside from the semen part.

Mariko: that is....brilliant. Leave it to the British to come up with something so genius. The charge to deliver to Japan or America is probably insane though.

see? i told you guys i was going to release a song tonight! right now its only in mp3 format,so download away! later i will get physical copies for all you vinyl geeks out there. this is about....me. i like to think honesty is my best policy,so why not turn that honesty on myself? i wrote this song on christmas. i was alone and drunk.i had set up a huge celebration for my girlfriend,i think you guys may have heard of her before. i had whiskey,and kfc....it was great! yes,we love kfc on christmas in japan..do not ask. it is our thing. nina was going through her own,and very personal problems. so she did not come to see me. i had been so worked up on making this day perfect,i.....well,i forgot that nina could not come. i poured a bottle of wild turkey and did some self reflection. this is what i came up with.

compulsive picture of me.i dont want you to think someone else wrote this!


transplant


The wind whistles as it blows through my empty chest.
I have no warmness. You can hope for my lust at best.
Forever trying to fill what cannot be topped off.

I'm going to need a transplant,give me what is
Yours.
I need a transplant,I can't stand this hole any more.
I was born without a heart and I didnt find one under the floor.
Bump bump
Bump...bump..
....bump.

When we first met, i knew i needed that heart of yours.
Give it to me, its full of what I crave. Love freely pours.
I want to make you empty like me.

I'm going to need a transplant,give me what is
Yours.
I need a transplant,I can't stand this hole any more.
I was born without a heart and I didnt find one under the floor.
Bump bump
Bump...bump..
....bump.

A heart donor has to perish in order to give.
Unwittingly you die so that I may live.
I seriously doubt it was worth it.

A shell of a being,but I function just fine.
I want to make your happiness mine.
In return I'll give you nothing.
But at least it's a lot of nothing.

I'm going to need a transplant,give me what is
Yours.
I need a transplant,I can't stand this hole any more.
I was born without a heart and I didnt find one under the floor.
Bump bump
Bump...bump..
....bump.
sounds like:

song notes:
Begins with a sample from an old medical show of someone saying "we're losing her!" Before the sound of a flatline is heard.the heavily fuzzed guitars start in and are shortly joined by pounding drums. this is the heaviest song yet seen from mariko. slowly but surely, mariko has strayed from her previously bright and happy sound to something darker. when the song reaches the chorus,mariko sings in an overly girly voice. half innocent,half seductive.then the band slows dramatically,with the instruments losing sync until they stop. then when mariko finally speaks,the "bump" starts off whispered,gradually reaching normal speaking volume. each word is accompanied by a low bass note.
when the verse is returned to,its with the same wreckless abandon as before. the song ends without fading out.

Mariko:you are a sweet one.i do appreciate the offer,but i think i am well now. when i realized my own happiness was dependent on someone else's ,i made a conscious effort to change. the old "love yourself before anyone will love you thing." i always thought that was about masturbation,but apparently there is another meaning. who'd a thunk it?

artist: mariko Kobayashi
title: none
label: none
format: 7" vinyl. Download





sputnik
sputnik launched in 1957.
beaming down signals for you and me.
beep beep.
sputnik was a lonely device in the expanse of space.
nobody to talk to.
no eyes to see.
an orphan by design.
sputnik zipped around the earth in 96.2 minutes.
sputnik was fast as fuck.
hurtling alone and scared.
beep beep.
3 months sputnik lived in the cold void.
3 months before sputnik burned .
alone sputnik died.
not a trace was left.
its death rattle was merely a
beep beep.


sounds roughly similar to: (mainly sort of the style.with a girly voice and none of the maybe(?) nazi leanings of boyd rice)

song description:
a crackle of static is heard and then a countdown in russian from 20. once the voice hits zero,a deafening and steady reproduction of sputnik's broadcast beeping. other than the beeping, the only other instrument is a repetitive and menacing drum beat. mariko's vocals are delivered in short blasts. it never is really clear if the tone she is going for is fear,triumph,or sadness.





like a teddy
Bear cast in iron.



From birth we are taught to love and trust.
Do right.
Be good.
That's how you always win.

Then reality rears its ugly head.
Unconditional love makes an easy target.
Trust is something to be exploited.
Take turns means TAKE your turn.
Nobody will give it to you.

You either become one of them,
Or are preyed on by them.
The people who caught onto the game earlier then you.
The ones who win.

This isn't who I want to be.
It's not what I am.
I want to not have to look out for number one.
I want to be free and not worry about knives in my back.
I don't want to stalk you down.

I want to be warm.
I want to be soft.
I want to be fuzzy.
I want a heart shaped nose.
I'm tired of being cold.
I'm tired of being hard.
I'm tired of these bristles.
I'm tired of these horns on my head.

I want to be kind again .





sounds a lot like: (mariko sounds a lot like zombina)


a stark contrast to the other song (mariko insists her singles do not have a and b sides. they are just songs.) this song is pleasant to the ears. this also marks the first time mariko actually plays an instrument on one of her songs. she is the one playing piano in this song. her sister's band,the harlots, provide the rest of the accompaniment. mariko's light and rather high pitched voice works very well for the longing for innocence this song portrays.

Rum: You know, after everything I used to wish you'd just disappear so everyone could forget what happened. That might come as a shock because I never really shown it but I resented you gaining a profile after cbb. My thinking was since you never do anything for people to talk about, they wouldn't talk but your presence on social media alone warranted chatter so I literally just wanted you to go off the radar because it would've pleased me not being asked about or reminded of you. But when I heard this song it made me go back and listen to all your other out of the blue songs and well I still really like your shit. I guess I really do know how to pick them, go figures, I don't get along with the untalented. In conclusion? Child, I don't know. Glad you're still around.

OOC: Don't know how many times I have to tell you but release! More! Often! Especially for Mariko. Especially. For. Mariko.

Mariko: Nina doesnt go for b listers! Seriously though,you were always my biggest fan. Before what happened ,you saying you liked my music was impressive,now? It's the highest compliment I could ever ask for. You have every reason to dismiss me as a hack...Yet you don't. I've Reached the summit. I can just retire now. I've had this conversation in my head so many times,but can't find a way to word it where I'm not a horrible person. You deserved better. Jesus Christ you deserved better than that. My reasoning for doing what I did,is probably even more twisted than what I actually did. And you deserve to know. I didn't want to be with vara. I want to be Vara. That is it. Bare metal truth. It took me ages to come to this conclusion. I rationalized my actions for years with " oh. Nina is handling it well .See? I didn't hurt her that much." And " well,it was her fault.she wasn't paying attention to me." And I was wrong. I was the one who made the conscious decision to be awful. I was a scared little girl playing at being an adult.

OOC: you've told me a lot. It's just mariko sounds like bad beat/middle school goth poetry. It's easier to just say I'm writing songs about ass gaskets rather than songs that are about real things. Though ass gaskets are very real too.

Artist:Mariko
Title: Mariko
type of release: album
Format: digital download and 12" vinyl
Label:Dahlhouse
Genre:?
Tracklisting:
1.My mind,your morgue.
2.King Louie and Norman Bates
3.Species
4.Untitled
5.Countertop crematorium
6.3am can of corn.
7. nose 3 inches from the windshield
8.Brittle

My mind,your morgue.

The spidery cuts spelling your name inside my skull have healed.
My once brittle being had been annealed.
Your memory was a familiar and trusted friend.
Always there for me lash out at.
Always awake for me to abuse.
I murdered you by proxy for hours on end.
I was good at it.
It was my hobby.
I collected your virtual bodies like bowling trophies.
Once I had enough,I could build a little castle.
keep out the reality that I was the dead one.
You triumphed over me.
Suckered me in.

I need this hate.
I need this loathing.
I need your visage to beat senseless every day.
If I forgive ,I lose all this.
I lose
My own private theme park of mental revenge.
I lose you.
I also lose me.

My lust for revenge is my crutch.
First it was sturdy and helpful.
I could hobble along nicely. On the right day,I could dance a little jig with that crutch.
I could Fred fucking Astaire all over the place.
Now that crutch is splintered.
Each time I use it,the wood buries deeper into my armpit.
It's infected and leaks blood and pus.
Your once dead corpses rush to lap it up.
Then....
Then...
I kill you all over again.

Mariko sez: in case you couldn't tell,I'm a flawed person. Hard to believe,I know. One of the hardest things for me to do has been to forgive. I hate doing it.. it makes me feel weak and defeated. It doesn't​ make me feel better,it doesn't feel like a weight is lifted off my shoulders. No. It feels like I'm saying I'm ok with whatever that person did to me.


King Louie and Norman Bates

You are everything I am not.
You are confident.
Sexy.
Strong.
Nobody fucks you around.

I wanna be like you oo oo
Doopity doo.
Look like you.
Talk like you.
Hurt like you.
Be a bitch like you.
I wanna be like you oo oo.

Meeting you was shock therapy.
You were the Ubermensch realized.
Inspiration wasn't enough.
I wanted imitation.
No.
I wanted duplication.

I wanna be like you oo oo
Doopity doo.
Look like you.
Talk like you.
Hurt like you.
Be a bitch like you.
I wanna be like you oo oo.

So that's what I did.
Soon I had my own lake full of victims.
Just like you.
I thought I was elegant.
I thought I was something to be envied .
I thought I was superior.
I was you.

I wanna be like you oo oo
Doopity doo.
Look like you.
Talk like you.
Hurt like you.
Be a bitch like you.
I wanna be like you oo oo.

Being Vara felt good.
I didn't have to face mariko's reality
I was queen of my own little Kingdom.
A kingdom of cardboard.
Easily blown away
Or
Made soggy when it rains.

I wanna be like you oo oo
Doopity doo.
Look like you.
Talk like you.
Hurt like you.
Be a bitch like you.
I wanna be like you oo oo.


Each day I became a new copy of you.
Each time
the copy began to degrade .
Life's copy machine only has so much resolution​.
The copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy eventually
Becomes a worthless smudge.

I wanna be like you oo oo
Doopity doo.
Look like you.
Talk like you.
Hurt like you.
Be a bitch like you.
I wanna be like you oo oo.

When the smudge is unreadable
Do you make a new copy, or make an original?

I wanna be like you oo oo
Doopity doo.
Look like you.
Talk like you.
Hurt like you.
Be a bitch like you.
I wanna be like you oo oo.

Mariko sez: the spiritual successor to "like a teddy bear cast in iron".
That song was more about life in and the changes adulthood carries. This one is far more personal. This is about the changes I made to myself. Changes I thought I had to make to survive. I'm not even going to go into it. The song says it all. Let's see how much Dahl house really wants me when Disney comes calling about this blaten copyright infringement.



Species

Did I just beam down from the mother ship?
Am I leftover energy from beyond the grave?
Am I Jane Goodall among the apes?

Don't mind me,I'm just here observing.
Just passing through,the fabric of life I'm not disturbing.
Superficially accept me,but know I don't belong.

Some people are square pegs in round holes.
I feel like the Monopoly dog stuck on a battleship board.
Dr pepper in a Coke glass.
A weed eater trimming fat from steaks.

Am I a different species? It's like everyone is speaking dog.
But I come waltzing in talking pelican.
I don't want a milkbone,
Can someone feed me a fish?!

I want that connection others seem to have.
Just to hear," I understand Completely".
I want to look and see someone like me.
I hate being a failed prototype.

Mariko sez: we all feel lonely sometimes. Well I assume other people do. But honestly,sometimes feel like a different species. It's like I share nothing in common with anyone. That's cool when you're an angsty teen and that isolation is your ....I dunno.are leather jackets and raybans still cool? But as an adult? It feels like the albatross around your neck.

Untitled

It was a Friday.
A very hard week.
I'm out of cornflakes.
And I've got tin foil in my teeth.
There isn't much I can do about it.
I've spent my money on cheap beer .
So I'm out of toothpicks too.
Too much TV.
Orange might be the new black.
But I'm ready for the world to end..
I want to fuck until your body is mush.
Put that it a smoothie and drink it all up.
This coffee maker screams with the sound of denied Mayan prophesy.
I should have fed it free trade coffee,but fuck those farmers.
I need the cash.
Ants keep crawling
But they never stop at the check cashing store.
There isn't much i can do to save me..
And
I don't care enough to save you.


Mariko sez: this is going to get weird.im going to make this weird. Why is everything underlined? Does it actually mean anything to anyone outside of me? Find out on the next episode of Dragonball z! Arty. As. Fuck.


Countertop crematorium

I'm chilling in my bag.
Just me and a couple of my bestest,yeastiest Bros.
The world spread out before us.
The horizon just goes and goes.

The rest of my ilk has went to the promised Land.
Two at a time.
They copulate to form a meal
That fits in your hand.

But I'm left alone.
Just me and these two others that nobody wants.
One sits at the front.
The other at the back.

The morning sun shatters the window.
It's that a.m. time.
I hear the alarm.
You're looking for cereal,
I can see your arm.

But there is no cereal.
There is no spam.
There are no grits.
You throw out my bag companions
Feed them to the dog
With a disgusted,
"You eat this shit."

I'm the only one left.
It's my time to shine.
Will I be a ham sandwich?
Do I get to kill mamma Cass?
Send me in coach.
I'm ready to off that bitch.

But no.
There's no peanut butter in my future.
I'm not going to be a sandwich.
You bury me in general electric.
I'm up to my waist.

Callously the switched is pressed
And I sink on down.
The walls glow orange
And my flesh is scorched.

At my feet are the crumbs of a thousand breakfasts.
I can pick out some bagels and some English muffins.
There is mostly bread like me.
But only the crust.

As I can take no more.
I'm nearly turned to ash.
I suddenly flung upwards.
On this short flight
I scrape off parts of my ass.

On the plate I try to scream.
The porcelain is cool
And colored cream.
I make no sound as my mouth is full of butter.
Butter that is slathered on my burned skin.
I look over and see I reached my promised Land.....
O lakes.

Mariko sez: what? I felt guilty one day about using the last slice of bread for some toast. It was a sad and kinda crumpled piece of bread and probably deserved better of life. But no. I burned him! What have these hands done?!


3am can of corn.

I'm not going to Chase you.
I'm not going to miss you.
I'll fight that spectre of loneliness.
I'll make it my bitch.
For the first time in my life
I'm all alone.

No one to tell me what to do.
No one to tell me how to do.
No one to please
No one to judge.
No master
And no slave.

I can drink all night
And paint that toilet with dinner.
I can watch stupid tv
And I can wear what I want
All
Without hearing your lip.

Sometimes the loneliness you left me with is a guillotine waiting to fall.
Chop my head off and let it roll.
Roll
Roll
Roll
Across the floor
And out the door..
Into a dark factory.
Manufacture erasers from brains.
And vice versa.

Most the times the loneliness you left me with is a jailer nodding off to sleep.
Keys easily pick pocketed.
Neck easy to break.
Then all I can do is
Run
Run
Run
Until the break of dawn.
My sunrise now longer
Marred by bars.

At first I thought I would die.
No overlord to provide.
The heaviest of chains can be be the most comfy blanket.
You'll never realize it's crushing you..

Now I hear that blanket clanging around the dryer.
How did I ever bear it's weight?

Mariko sez: freedom is a scary thing. I avoided it for so long because I just didn't think I could handle it. I thought I needed some to guide me and tell me what to do.


nose 3 inches from the windshield

I'm a runaway steam roller.
Clanging away at 300 miles an hour.
A nuclear blast in take-home size.
I'll level your home
And steal your wife.

Social lubrication.
All thanks to insufflation.
My accelerator Is stuck
And I'm always down to fuck
I'll be your wildest time.
I'm anything when I'm high.

Pluck the sun from the sky
And ride it like a fire hose.
A red hot wire coursing through your being.
hear the blood sizzle in your ears.

Social lubrication.
All thanks to insufflation.
My accelerator Is stuck
And I'm always down to fuck
I'll be your wildest time.
I'm anything when I'm high.

slinking like a cat in heat.
im your princess of seduction.
there is no resisting my gravity.
i have you where i want you.
now i just need you how i want you.

Social lubrication.
All thanks to insufflation.
My accelerator Is stuck
And I'm always down to fuck
I'll be your wildest time.
I'm anything when I'm high.

personality cranked to 11.
one blink and 30 minutes go by.
theres blood on my nose and i dont care.

Social lubrication.
All thanks to insufflation.
My accelerator Is stuck
And I'm always down to fuck
I'll be your wildest time.
I'm anything when I'm high.


mariko sez: this song totally isnt about drugs. what are we but vehicles for our vices?





Brittle

firm and unyielding.
never bending.
no matter the pressure.
withstand it until the cracks spread like spilled marbles.

bending is weakness.
swaying is out of the question.
stand proud and defiant.
stone is respected.
steel is respected.
paper is burned.

hard as ice.
shattered at the first touch.
like shiva from final fantasy.
one snap of the fingers and cracks form.

metal straight from the forge.
holds a keen edge.
but cant keep it.
one use and its gone.

brittle things are useless.
brittle things are to be locked away.
just look at them,
like grandma's ugly porcelain figures.


Mariko sez: if i've learned anything in my life: its nothing is guaranteed. your perfect life could change tomorrow. your life could be snubbed out like a cheap cigarette. crossing your arms and saying "nope." isnt going to stop it. its just going to piss you off when you cant adapt to the change. i think this is one of those "who moved my cheese?" songs. but ive never read the book,but i've seen it all over in various big wigs' offices. im still working on being tempered steel instead of freshly forged steel. see ya,mariko.




ooc: im not doing individual sound alikes as i doubt anyone wants to hear them. but mariko's new direction is sounding like this. i think this sort of voice works for her:

" I feel I can finally give people the show I have in my head."




Interviewer:it's an hour till curtains, and we're here in Kyoto with Mariko Kobayashi.

Mariko: it's just Mariko now. I left my last name at home. I'm not good enough to be a Jimi Hendrix. But I'm certainly good enough to be a Cher.

Interviewer: so on the same level as Madonna?

Mariko: *shrugs* I dunno. I don't listen to Madonna or Cher. So is that a a big claim to make?

Interviewer: somewhat.

Mariko: fuck em. Id say they could come at me,but I don't fight the elderly.

Interviewer:so.... new label,new album,new confidence?

Mariko: nope. I'm just already in performance mode. I'm about to go in front of thousands of people who will all be looking at me. If you don't feel like you can take on the world? That pressure can kill you.

Interviewer: so um...you *makes the international gesture for snorting cocaine*

Mariko:*Shakes her head* nope. I try to perform stone sober. There are too many things to keep track of on stage. Some people can do it. I can't.


Interviewer: so the bloody school girl really is gone?

Mariko: *Laughs* dead and buried. She served her purpose as a persona to hide behind. Also,it was cheap to do! Now.. now I have costume changes, dancers,set pieces...all on dahlhouse's dime. *Winks* but seriously,I can finally give people the show i see in my head.


Interviewer:isnt that just a bigger persona to hide behind?

Mariko: not at all. See,I'm never happy with a song I write. I'm a visual,not a verbal type of person. So I feel like I convey my points a lot better with props and sets. The bloody school girl was just capitalizing on the trope. What I'm doing now...it has point. I'm illustrating my words,my way.

Interviewer:your new music along with the stage show...it all seems rather bleak and dark.

Mariko: why not? It's fun. It's also far easier to dwell on the negative than try to find the bright spots.

Interviewer: why do I get the feeling you're avoiding elaborating?

Mariko: *just giggles and winks*

Interviewer: I have to ask,don't I ?

Mariko:that's usually the easiest way to get what you want. Its certainly easier than scheming.

Interviewer: why wait so long to release a song about Vara gallo?

Mariko: oh there is at least two songs about her on that album. Well I didn't feel ready to put my feelings out there about her. About me and the exact way I felt about her. In some ways,still feel about her. It's embarrassing to admit . Both in how I modelled myself after her and how much I needed that hatred of her.

Interviewer: do you still hate her?

Mariko:no. But I still do not forgive her. like I scar,I'll still remember the pain but she's a part of me. I couldn't let it go even if I wanted to.

Interviewer: I think there are creams and surgeries to repair scars.

Mariko: way to ruin my imagery,guy.

Interviewer: sorry.

Mariko: I also waited so long because I didn't want to profit off a bad situation. So much time has passed,most people don't remember my old love triangle. Fewer still,care. So it was time.

Interviewer: speaking of old love triangles..did Nina Tarantino really block you on Twitter?

Mariko: *laughs very hard* yes! Im honestly surprised it took her that long. I wonder if I'm blocked on Instagram? What? She's pretty.

Interviewer: oooh,a little something there for Nina t?

Mariko: if there was,I wouldn't have had the opportunity to write songs about vara.

Interviewer: meaning?

Mariko: I'm surprisingly loyal until I'm not. She and I weren't karoliena and Cassie. It wasn't right.

Interviewer: we gotta know,how do you feel about Tyron and Nina being a couple?

Mariko: this is turning into fucking teen beat or something! We're grown fucking adults. If they are happy? Fine. If not? Well that's really none of my business.

Interviewer: I guess I shouldn't ask if there is anyone special in your life? *Chuckles*

Mariko: isolation seems to be a theme in my music. You tell me. No, seriously.

Interviewer: it's battery operated?

Mariko: fuck no! I care too much about the Earth to use batteries.

Interviewer: interesting. So your first full length album has been well received. Where are you going from here?

Mariko: onwards and upwards! I've already had to book bigger venues for my show. I'm thinking I may get a few music videos out there. Maybe do the talk show circuit,get a huge ego, start asking for absurd stuff on my tour rider,throw a cell phone at an assistant,I dunno. I'm very positive about things though. I've finally found the direction I want to take and am already planning a new release.

Interviewer: new release?!

Mariko: yes. I spent sooooooo long on this album that it felt like old news the day I released it. It relied too much on the past. I am super sorry,but I really gotta hit the stage. Those vampires need a neck to suck. Better than a dick! This isn't that kind of show. *Scampers off *

Artist:Mariko
title: as always,mariko doesnt title her releases
format:digital. 12" clear red vinyl
label: Dahlhouse



Beetle

A beetle with it's leg tied to a string.
Hold the end ,
Round and round it flies.
Are you the hand or am I?

Fight or flight? It doent really matter.
Those hard shelled wings will always clatter.
Tug at the teather, run the line taught.
Settle back on the finger after the battle is fought.

At the hand's mercy for release.
Or beetle could break the leg off.
Why Fight at all?
Cruise in little circles.
Have yourself a ball.

Fight or flight? It doent really matter.
Those hard shelled wings will always clatter.
Tug at the teather, run the line taught.
Settle back on the finger after the battle is fought.

Mariko sez:
When I was really young my grandma would catch these very large beetles and gently tie thread around one of their hind legs. I'd then have this little buzzy buddy who would fly around in circles until it tired or we untied it and watched it fly off into the sky.
Being older i kinda see the bug on a string as a metaphor for life. We're all just going around and around. Around the axis of the earth,the sun,the galaxy,the universe. We don't actually try to break the string,we just fly as far as it will allow.


hanging and aloof.

you hang with your triclops gaze.
looking down at daily drama for all our days.
the passing carapaces of metal and plastic.
they contain our lives. boring or dramatic.

a lexus is in electric exuberance because of a recent promotion.
a mini van is filled with 5 little brats' commotion.
the honda is shaking with a couple in a fight.
the chevy is shaking because those two are going to fuck tonight.
a ford is filled with boredom.
the driver of a Toyota drifts with dreams of stardom.

the lives of so many pass beneath that traffic light.
rain or shine.
fucking terrible or going just fine.
that red,yellow,or green light .
it'll let you pass or make you late tonight.

the computerized and timed circuits dont care whats going on.
they hold their schedule in rigid adherence to their tome.
the traffic light doesnt care if you are late.
or if the rain pools because of a clogged drain.
red. yellow.green.

Mariko sez:
I was sitting in the car one day. It was raining and traffic wasn't moving. I kinda zoned out watching the wipers move and got to thinking about what all could be going on around me. It's easy to get so focused on your own path that you forget those cars contain people. People with their own lives. So..yeah,i wrote a song about it.



Open

The sun
Will set.
Turn the sky to
Fire.
We
Will give
Over to desire.

There's no reason to even try to pretend.
Those days of love have reached their end.
Let's appreciate the here and now.
I just want to fuck you.
I don't care where or how.

Share
My lust.
Gain
My trust.
Tell lies to me
Don't worry
I'll tell them too.
It's just what I do.

There's no reason to even try to pretend.
Those days of love have reached their end.
Let's appreciate the here and now.
I just want to fuck you.
I don't care where or how.

Instant
Relationship.
Just remove clothes.
Get on
The bed.
I don't care how your day goes.

There's no reason to even try to pretend.
Those days of love have reached their end.
Let's appreciate the here and now.
I just want to fuck you.
I don't care where or how.

Mariko sez:
Is it self parody if you're doing it on purpose? Personally, I'm happy I'm attractive enough that people are interested in my sex life.
After the culture uncut article.you know the one. People really got interested in there being any truth to those amy Meyer,cara zany,Madison and I suspicions. C'mon
, cara and myself have schedules so busy we couldn't actually have a relationship. And people think all 4 of us could find the time to get together?! I wrote this song mainly because i think it's how people see me actually being.





Conjoined

Sometimes the scar still itches.
You were removed from me and i was sealed up with stiches.
Gaping wound no more.
Medicines and therapy and time heals all.
The skin is no longer sore.
But more than a phantom limb.
I feel the weight and presence of a being.
The tendrils reach out and bury themselves in.
I feel a phantom you haunting me.
Cell by cell i can feel your reconstitution.
You and I are together forever. Two halves of a whole.
A unified pair.no matter the situation.
I Could keep cutting and letting the scar heal.
Stitch it up again and hope it doesnt get infected.
But the phantom you will keep coming back.
Cauterization leaves the growth quite un affected.
No .
I will accept this and let you grow full sized.
This is our orbit in life.
Our gaze will always be into each others eyes.
I give the doctor the nod so that he stops the procedure.
It is wrong to keep cutting you off.
I look over and its my tentacles reaching out like a creature.

Mariko sez:
Ive accepted that no matter what happens, no matter my feelings on the subject: vara gallo will always be part of my life. I've hated her. I've loved her,I've hated her again . now?...im not really sure. It's something in between. But not so apathetic. I cannot put it into words. We are just like,linked. I came to this conclusion when we were doing sit ups in a gym. I could have easily just avoided her entirely. But,like where conjoined twins are attached, there is a teeny tiny part that is neither twin A or twin B.



overall,sounds like:












Generic music magazine #453 review:
The latest musical offering from Mariko is a mixed bag. She's famously only released singles for the majority of her career, this EP however.... It's clearly just two singles. Two songs are typical Mariko fare. She's like the goth Taylor Swift. Only her parents won't let her shop at hot topic,so she still dresses bright and girly.
The other two songs are like bad beat poetry or something. Oh she still has them set to loud and abrasive music, but the lyrics? Wouldn't be out of place being sung by a white guy with dreads and an acoustic guitar. It's hard to say who Mariko's music is actually for.
