I fucking hate this song.

There is no deeper meaning. The images barely resonated with me at the time. The composition and performance are some of the worst trash I've ever put onto this earth,

The reason I'm including it is because it marked a profound turning point for me. I realized that I was letting "a sound" for the project develop. I realized that I was allowing an aesthetic to pervade throughout, one that I never intended with this project. I realized that, with this song, I was making something that everyone who misunderstood my project expected of me.

It felt like I had perverted something pure.

I would go on to make a few more mistakes like that in future compositions, but this was the first and last time I let myself intentionally and fully write something to fulfill the "cute + violence" juxtaposition meme.

lyrics

cupcake mountain is above the
dying land of candy treats. full of squirrel carcass
cherry in the snowy frosting
last time that I visited, that place was covered with a ton of dead.... rats
----
climb the top and eat the sugar
what the fuck do you think this is, I havent ever heard of that one
no Im telling you its all true
that place is a garbage heap it isnt worth a half a shit Id rather take a bath of acid then have to make a trip there
no
not ever
the. clock. ticks. down.
cries. from. the. town.
chil. dren. all. frown.
be. fore. they. drown.
“and the frosting came down, melted right off the side of the mountain, and cascaded over the village. The sweet white goodness quickly turned into a death and terror. people tried to run , but the frosting moves too fast for anyone to get to safety. their lives were all cut short and no one in the town survived, what was once considered a blessing is now the worst disaster that that town has ever seen.”
I love cupcakes they’re so yummy
what the fuck are you tripping on, I just told you the story
I don’t listen when its gory
The whole damn story was a god damn mess, and the cream you eat I must confess, was stripped, from the mountain
