Now that No Threat is out, here's my best uneducated guess at the words. The whole thing is a guess, probably with many hilarious errors, and the stuff with question marks around it are wild guesses where I can't make it out at all. He doesn't really say something about the Beatles at the end, does he?
No Threat
Got a window washer's head
For an unmakeable threat
For loneliness
The past is no place to rest your weary arms
??Except to set them at your sides???
Or
??Except in sevens at your sides???
Your face a campaign debt
Reflected sky
You died to your fans
One window at a time
That's right
Got a window washer's eye
For an ??redoubtable?? sky
For lonely design
The past is no place to try but I'll get my mind's arm is moving at full stride
Just singing in one voice, preoccupied
And with nothing to say
I'll sing it, bright
That's right
I am here
It's only me
I ain't freed nobody yet
It's just me
I'll just be a sec
I'm a cleaner
I'm no threat
No threat
No threat
I'm a reader
I'm no threat
Who seems lonely?
Everyone seems lonely
It doesn't sound so bad
Who is free?
Everybody's free
From the tired of being sad
So sad
How will I know?
How will I know it will help and
Moreso how will she know if I'm helping
If I'm not in the saddle, I'm nothing
That's right
I am here
It's only me
I ain't freed nobody yet
It's just me
Clearing spiderwebs
I'm a listener, I'm no threat
I am here
Not a clue: "?????? Baiting Failing Breath?"
No threat
Not a clue: ????"I'm an early Beatles fan"???
Cheers,
John

No clue about around here, I don't like the radio, I heard that september song too much.
But if you combined both the above you'd hav eit prettymuch.

No Threat
Got a window-washer's head
for an unmakeable bed
for loneliness
the past is no place to
rest your weary arms 'cept at sevens at yer sides
your face a campaign debt, reflected sky
you die to your fans one window at at a time - that's right!
gotta a window-washer's eye
for an untuckable sky
for lonely design
the past is no place to
try, but I'll get my mind's armies moving at full-stride
singing in one voice, preoccupied
and with nothing to say, I'll sing it bright - that's right!
I am here
it's only me
I ain't freed nobody yet
it's just me
I'll just be a sec

everybody's freed from the tired of being sad
so sad
how will I know?
how will I know if I'm helping?
moreso, how will she know if I'm helping?
if I’m not in the saddle, I'm nothing - that's right!
I am here
it's only me
I ain't freed nobody yet
it's just me
clearing spider-webs
I'm a listener, I'm no threat
I am here
failed and failing breath
I'm a listener, I'm no threat, no threat, no threat
I'm a watcher
I'm no threat
no threat
no threat

Wow, those are quite possibly the most fragmented nonsensical Hip lyrics ever.
I love it!

I was wondering the same thing. Hey let's at least give him a day to ponder and dechiper it.
:lol:
The lyrics seem quite intruging, I haven't a clue what they mean. I think only Gordy knows for sure, but Im not good at understading Gord's lyrics anyway, some things are obvious but for the most part I don't have a clue what he's talking about half the time. That's why Im glad guys like Dame are around to help. :thumb:
Imagine a world before the "beginning was the word.”
