Urban Meadows

from Symbiogenesis by Michael Bell

lyrics

In their dying industrial world ruins fascinate them. Once they would have demolished and rebuilt, but now their empty malls and department stores and parking garages go dark and rotten, moldering in the rain dripping from fallen ceilings.

Video documentarians strap lights to their foreheads and walk streets broken by new forests. Their beams sweep the debris of shattered rooms, and grainy images of sodden magazines, broken display cases, and gutted electronics appear on distant screens. The explorers narrate their discoveries in urgent whispers.

And always looking for the hidden door, the descending staircase to places yet deeper and darker, their lamps flickering in an enveloping silence.

A Loose-Fish and a Fast-Fish, too.

Some of this is music for video games. The rest is a fairly raw document of my ongoing attempt to find something new among the blinking lights in my studio at home.
