New Noise :: Battles :: Ddiamondd

So it looks like Battles have decided to give their fans an early Christmas present. Kinda like when you give your girlfriend that gift-wrapped lingerie a few weeks before Christmas because she's tipsy and, therefore, more likely to wear it and not realize that your 'gift' is just a present for yourself. Anyways, Battles. Sorry, I got distracted thinking about your girlfriend. Battles posted a little thanks-for-being-awesome-fans note on their myspace blog and included the lyrics to 'Rainbow,' 'Bad Trails,' and the impossible-to-decipher 'Ddiamondd.' They also decided to poke a little fun at the recent Prince debacle (Prince is kind of a dick? Shock!) with the picture posted above. Those guys... Anyway, check out 'Ddiamondd' and follow along with the lyrics. Use your mouse as a bouncy ball on speed if you want. You can find the other lyrics at their myspace page.

DDIAMONDD

THE DIAMOND THAT WAS STOLEN HELD THE CODE THAT MELTED
WATER INTO LETTERS SPELLING WHERE IT HAD BEEN TAKEN TO
IN FACT I HAD A VISION OF THE NUMBERS CORRESPONDING WITH
THE LETTERS T-H-E-D-I-A-M-O-N-D

THEY'RE SUSPENDED LIKE A PRISM SPLITTING FLOODLIGHT TO
POLES OF PRIMARY COLORS CLAWING THE VEIL OF THE VACUUM
THERE'S A PICTURE OF THIS GIVEN TO AUTHORITIES, THE
SENTENCE "I'M AN ARCHITECT AND HERE'S MY PRISON" WRITTEN
ON IT

WITH SCHEMATICS SO METICULOUS THE MEASUREMENTS OF
SUPERIMPOSITIONS OF A ROOM WITHIN THE WINDOW MAKE A
DREAM THAT ENDS UP BEING SUCH AN ENTITY IN YOUR
REFLECTION, YOU ARE THE DREAM TO IT, YOU ARE IN THE PRISM

THE MIRRORS IN THE CORNER THROWING IMAGES AGAINST THE
OTHER MIRRORS MADE COUNTING CORNERS IMPOSSIBLE THE
BREAKING NEWS HAD COUNTED ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE,
SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE, TEN, ELEVEN CORNERS OF THE
MIRRORED CORNERS

WHY HAVE YOU DONE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE SOMETHING IS SO
SINISTER WHEN STARRING AT THE DIAMOND SOMETHING YOU
HAVE DONE SO SINISTER WHY HAVE YOU DONE THIS AM I IN THE
MIRROR AM I WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN STARRING AT AM I A
DIAMOND?

JUST LIKE A REFLECTION OF A FRIEND OF MINE, I AM A
REFLECTION OF AN ENEMY, AM I A REFLECTION OF AN ENEMY,
JUST LIKE A REFECTION OF A FRIEND OF MINE?

In other news, oh SNAP!
