Blankets by plankton

LYRICS

Fold it up like blankets. Put it away. Make it unimportant. Don’t think about it today.

Pack it up in paper wrapped around with duct tape. Box it up like knick-knacks. Act like it’s okay.

fold it up like blankets
fold it up like blankets

Take it down the hallway. Stack it in the closet. Forget about it. Fold it up like blankets.

STORY BEHIND THE SONG:

This was one of the first songs I ever wrote. It was just an instrumental, though. We decided it needed lyrics so this is what happened. Eric added the three fast thingies at the end and Matt decided on the key change before the last verse. Our next step is to open up an improv segment at the key change and go off for a while live, then record a live version of it. Now people are asking what the song is about. Well, I’m telling people it’s about putting your troubles aside to enjoy a worry free moment, but that’s pure bullshit. I don’t know what it’s about. Does it really matter? Maybe it’s real personal and I don’t want to tell you the details. Maybe it’s about hiding body parts in your closet. Maybe it’s just about doing the laundry and putting it away...
