Contingency/Necessity (Modality of Fate)

Lyrics: Tom Krell Music: Tom Krell Doing in the shrine room at the Buddhist monastery I wonder if I’ve ever made a single right decision I guess I once confused the German word for face with the word for history Just change one little letter, see your fate in the mirror Oh, in 1984, these words were new in circulation: “Death metal” and “bi-curious” and “genetic fingerprinting” When contingencies unfold, they become wholly necessary: A baby, "Mandelbrot set," "VPN," and "open carry" What I need? – I don’t know and have never known Holding on is a way of letting go Water is a kind of stone A kind of stone A stone Stone I'm crying in the bathroom Masonic Lodge to see Mount Eerie I wonder if I’ve ever made a single wrong decision I guess I once confused the German word for face with the word for history Just change one little letter, see your face, fate in the mirror What I need? I don’t know and have never known Holding on is a way of letting go Water is a kind of stone A kind of stone Stone Stone
