lyrics

I have the answers to it all
It's so complex yet it is so simple
I'll try to explain with simple words
In layman's terms

There is a world inside my mind
A universe with you and me inside
I think if you
I can only imagine that you also think of me
That's what it is in layman's terms

Though you are infinitely small
You are essential for the order of it all
If you think this life just wasn't built for you
Then make one for yourself and no one else

Though it may seem like a cartoon
A sense of humor keeps the universe in tune
Life is just a joke so learn to laugh with it
Ha ha ha ha

There is a world inside my mind
A universe with you and me inside
I think if you
I can only imagine that you also think of me
That's what it is in layman's terms

I'll code the universe from scratch
Then you'll apply your cosmic patch
We'll share with everyone, no one, and anyone

Let's make some apple pie from scratch
Bake a delicious, endless batch
Enough for everyone, no one, and anyone

There is a world inside my mind
A universe with you and me inside
I think if you
I can only imagine that you also think of me
That's what it is in layman's terms

about

Platypus Egg San Diego, California

Platypus Egg began back in 2008. United by their fascination with experimental music, they began to explore a way to make music that could bridge all their tastes. Their sound slowly morphed from jarring, and at times uncomfortable to a coherent, vulnerable voice. Fans usually say "You won't get it by just listening to one song. Once you hear 8 or 10, that's when it starts to make sense" ... more

I detect elements of early-Rush, King Crimson, and Resistor’s last album (The 5th Season) here. I’ve ever been an avid fan of tale-telling rock (Rush, Uriah Heep, Led Zep, etc) & am glad bands like King Gorm have taken up that torch. They do a fine job of conveying the evolving mood of their progressive tale. The inspired bass guitar parts are a highlight for me (akin to G. Lee or S. Harris). This is classic-sounding, imagination-friendly prog-rock. Well done! Thx, King Gorm! 7.5+/10. Alrihkh
