about

Continuing with the loose theme of space, aliens, and the strange, I used Spock as a metaphor for those with Aspergers. Spock is considered a half-Vulcan on his father's side. Vulcans are humanlike beings that champions logic and reasoning over human emotion. So, while we do have emotions, people with Asperger's are more likely to be mentally driven than merely emotional. So, I made up a derogatory term for Aspies named "Me. Spock's Illegitimate Children".

Also, in the lyrics, I pointed out that Aspies tend to be brutally honest about the world around them. We live in a world where our mother s and fathers taught us never to lie, but even they tell lies that don't have to be subtle. Not only that, but apparently telling the truth hurts people and/or things just as much, if not more than, lying does. Knowing this, we figure that we just can't win in this world.

lyrics

Mr. Call it as I see it
Ms. Say it like I mean it
Mr. cut 'em like a razorblade
Ms. sugar in the acid tongue

Mr. Spock's Illegitimate Children
Try to be honest, and its like you cannot win
This game

Mr. More Thought than emotion
Ms., Must you be so open?
Mr. My love can't get more strange
Ms. Bitch, are you insane?

Mr. Spock's Illegitimate Children
Try to be honest, and its like you cannot win this game
Try to be open, and its like you're losing all the same

Mr. Spock's Illegitimate Children
Try to be honest, and its like you cannot win this game
Try to be open, and its like you're losing all the same
I can't be open, for these people drive me quite insane
It's safe to say I'm minutes closer to quitting this game

Before I started really writing songs, I did fairly lo-fi electronica, where the hiss and reverbs actually worked for the compositions. Every recording on this bandcamp is mine. mynameisblueskye
