Track 1. Never and Me.

This track was inspired when I read a series of Saul Williams’ tweets, actually (and the song is NOT about him, I do not know him.) He was in the streets of Paris in the middle of the night, alone with his thoughts, and it made me feel like I was there, in this invisible battle that we all have, between what we see, and what we have on the inside. The “me” was more like of what I visualized the overrulling invisible universal force was, observing, that could be our salvation or our destruction. Our choice.

it’s 3 a.m. i know where your mind is
somewhere between the thick of the streets
calling in the souls of the blinded
somewhere between never and me

it’s 4 a.m. i know where your soul is
somewhere between the lost and the fallen
it’s climbing in
and calling you slowly
somewhere between never and me

is it safe to leave you alone
with all of your devices and all of your crises
twisted as the fight is
it’s all been decided
and the night will keep you

safe from harm
safe from harm
the space between never and me
is where you find it safe to be

it’s 5 a.m. there’s nowhere to go now
somewhere between
sleep and a dream
the night it fades, a weight off your shoulders
somewhere between never and me

is it safe to leave you alone
with all of your vices and all of your crises
twisted as the fight is
it’s all been decided
and the night will keep you

safe from harm
safe from harm
the space between never and me
is where you find it safe to be

I will keep you safe from harm.

A hobby of mine has always been unconscious/subconscious, man and his symbols, personal myths and psychology—the things that drive us on a primal level, that on some level we know, or choose to not know about.

I read a book during the time Bruce and I met about how all alphabets are linked intrinsically, through their vibration, meaning; that we all vibrationally come up with the same things, but are just a result of our physical existence/demographic. It was another thing that made me realize, for lack of sounding trite, we are all One.

The K and the T, playing around, and noticed that I could get a few symbols out of it: a greater than sign (>), less than sign (<) and an equal sign (=), as well as Pi (π) all enclosed in a circle (unity). Translate: Everything greater than and less than makes an equal balance, Unity is around and inside the Circle of Life. We are ALL EQUAL.

For me, the symbol took the focus away from the “band” and made it about something else. Bruce and I do what we do, but in the Love of music, ultimately is not about ego/us. It is about inspiring, expiring, sharing and giving. We are just the shells of which this passes through.

Now, if you don’t care about this shit, and you think the KT logo is just cool to look at, that’s fine with me too. As you know, we do get into the deep, but we also can turn it all around, be decadent, and just rock/feel good for the sake of it!
