Return To Crystal Blood Mountain

about

In genre music like Stoner rock, I love a commitment to form. Slight variations in a structure and a lyrical content that you can come back to like a warm blanket. And revisiting themes can be super interesting. If Bongzilla wasn’t singing about weed in EVERY song, wouldn’t you be disappointed?
In actual life, I don’t like commitment to form. Especially when you are like “didn’t we JUST go through this”. It’s like George Costanza trying to get into the movie theater over and over and the ticket counter forgetting he was just there and just gave them a ticket. (This obscure Seinfeld reference totally makes sense).
Either way, when the world keeps going back to the same thing that didn’t work. When restaurants feel like they are opening too early or malls or whatever thing that the first time it happened you were like “wait…I don’t think this feels right”. And then we had to shut them down again. And then we do it again. Never learning. Then they shut down again. Over and over. Don’t you want to return to the forms that made you feel like you were in that warm blanket? The Seinfeld episode you have watched the billionth time? The Bongzilla song that AGAIN is about weed. Or in this case. A song subject I already covered in Crystal Blood Mountain.

lyrics

Return to the birth of my destruction
Here we are again
The cycle continues
on Crystal Blood Mountain.
Mask upon my face
Axe in my hand.

I don’t think that we should be going anywhere
As the world opens.
None of this feels right

So I return to Crystal Blood Mountain.
The only place I feel comfortable

We are all caught in a rip
between space
and time
as dimensions open I am scared.

Can’t believe we are doing this shit again
HAVE WE LEARNED NOTHING
