about

Survival in a post-nuclear holocaust surrounding.
Somewhat inspired by the classic Twilight Zone episode "Time Enough At Last"
One of a number of Wide-Eyed songs in a post-apocalyptic setting.
This song was one of a few that were involved in a "title shift" - the music was originally called "Winter Moon", the title of which was given to a song that ended up on Aurora (which also had a different title originally), when the lyrics of Water Boiled were written.

lyrics

Water Boiled
==========

The air I breathe
Is poison to me
But still i breathe all the same

An endless search
For life on Earth
Wishing it was just a game

Lots of sound
But no one around

Children's rhymes
Seem to pass the time
Bored depression
Is hard to beat
I drink my water boiled
Even that is spoiled
let alone everything I eat

It's hard to relax
Waiting on surprise attacks
Emotions like wax
I start seeing the cracks
Far past logic and facts
Still I've gotta watch my back

Lots of sound
but no one around

I don't know about
A thousand years from now
Or a hundred or even just one
When things go this way
It's a welcome day
When the Earth gets swallowed by the sun

Formed in the beginning of 2001, Wide-Eyed is Tina Lambright and Patrick Pyne. Despite being a duo, they rotated instruments for recordings to make full, band-oriented songs of varying sounds and styles. Their music can be generally described as experimental pop, or psychedelic rock, but avoiding cliches of any genre. Serious, funny, abstract or direct, despite the dressing, enjoyment is the focus ... more
