Slippers

97 BPM

G Minor

Verse 1

I lost my slippers today

They were gold trim

I fear they’re worlds away

Taken on a whim

Brought to me from a far off land

A suspicious mailman signed the slip

My dog grazed on the heel

Now they’re in Tahiti on a trip

Pre-Chorus

Early mornings cooking in the kitchen

Whistling a whimsical tune

Little did I know the spot I put them in

Would be siphoned soon

Chorus

Today I lost my dearest slippers

They had deer antlers on the toes

Overnight shipping I paid extra

Now they’re the source of all my woes

Verse 2

I didn’t know the postman

Gerrymandered his route to plot

My friends all think I’m being funny

But watch out, he’s gonna get got

Pre-Chorus

Early mornings cooking in the kitchen

Whistling a whimsical tune

Little did I know the spot I put them in

Would be siphoned soon

Chorus

Today I lost my dearest slippers

They had deer antlers on the toes

Overnight shipping I paid extra

Now they’re the source of all my woes

Initially i tried to do a tribal number, but i felt the layering of the different drum samples resulted in something overcompressed and not dynamic, so i ended up leaning more towards the techno route. I still used tribal samples, but i simplified it to a propulsive groove, rather than just layers on layers of sound. This one sounds quiet simple, but becomes more complex as you listen, as more and more sounds are introduced. In my opinion, and i mean this, i think this is the best techno track today, from a mix and melody stand point. Usually techno is sometimes hard to replicate as i rely too much on making it hard hitting with many different sounds, instead of one good sound. Either way, hope you enjoy!

recorded on a 5$ desktop mic because I don't have any other one available right now.

LYRICS:

slipper of death and hurt

stupidly bunny shaped

why do you defile my body  

your presence does not belong

slippers please make your peace

you'll soon be gone from this world

this slipper, it hate it, it sucks

I'll grab it, and throw it, time to go

be gone!

A soft "get well soon"/"self-soothing" kind of song about bundling up in the comfortable things while sick - in our safe space, in our PJs, in our "flip flops", (aka slippers).

LYRICS
--

A little frayed
On an odd wednesday
Warming up
With these old flip flops

A snuggled hug
On a wintry rug
Cooling down
In our sleeping gowns

Chilly breezes
Comfy fleeces
Silly sneezes
Sniffly squeezes

Shivering inside
When the covers slide
Flushed with surprise
Reading kind postcards

Soon it will fade
Rest is never outweighed
Not at all afraid
Temporarily unmade

Chilly breezes
Comfy fleeces
Silly sneezes
Sniffly squeezes

We’ll be alright
Take one step
At a time

Well well well

What do we have here

You’re new aren’t you?

Then welcome to hell!

I may be mister devil

I bet ya knew that

I make dem souls suffer

Love to make ‘em cry

I like to open wounds 

And fill em with salt

I’m a sucker for dem shouts

That is not my fault

Lemme give ya a tour

Of our humble shack

Here’s a queue to kiss with Hitler

Here’s the queue to fuck

A room with 7 priests

and a costume of Alf

I know you are excited

But leave something for us

I know you’ve been jail

I know you killed your ma

But I bet you didn’t know she’s here 

with me to tell us that we should

Wear the fucking slippers

This may be hell but it’s not a drug den

Wear the fucking slippers

Or she feeds us all to the kraken

Love Y'all so much truly!!!!!!!!!!

No matter how hard I try: Footwear never fits (me). It's close, but never really quite there...

(j/k: I do actually have *some* footwear that fits quite well, but let's imagine this alternate reality for a moment, where nothing is a true fit ever^^)

[XipherZen]
Woke up late, my alarm's on snooze,
My coffee's cold, guess I gotta choose,
I stubbed my toe on the doorframe
Then it clicked, it's still only sunday

[Ryakishou]
Found some slippers, and get the news,
Maybe today ain’t so bad
Now I’m standing up to my ankles
But at least my cat is waiting

[PolkaPop]
My cat was muddy
So I took him in for the bath
He bit me hard and splashed water over me
Now my slippers are soggy
But I’m still in the mood
Got a snack on the table
So it’s all good

[NovaVT]
I wanna be lazy, let the world just wait,
Dr. Pepper in the fridge, yeah, that's my fate.
Streaming through the night, but it never sleeps,
Just me and my dreams, where the silence creeps

[PolkaPop]
Looked in the closet for a second pair
But Mr. Mittens beat me there
I sat on the floor with my slippers in hand
They all are ripped, now I have no slippers

[trumpet-piano solo shenanigans]

even slippers.

2hts: SLIPPERS

wake up fill up my cup

coffee black, so you know whats up

throw a couple eggs on the skillet

and just stand there for a minute

till they're ready and white

 

step outside and I see the light

arms up and I praise the sun

look down at my bunny ear slippers

and just stand there for a minute

and just stand there for a minute

and just stand there for a minute

and just stand there for a minute

 

wake up fill up my cup

coffee black, so you know whats up

throw a couple eggs on the skillet

and just stand there for a minute

till they're ready and white
