Wrong About You

lyrics

Saw the teacher come
And the teacher say
Put your hands away
Spin them down below
You spin all the patterns and pictures
We speak with into your bones

Another warning buzz
Through the fire horn
Keep your hands away
Where’d your body go
There’s a moment to bury your head where your lap
Should be sway to and fro, to and fro

I was wrong about you, I was wrong about you
There’s a message in tinsels and glue
Kid I was wrong about you

I was wrong about you, I was wrong about you
There’s a second our intellect touched
Kid, they were wrong about…

In the silent home
Here’s a model set
Something that you own
Crystal statuette
There are noises you make in the cellar you clatter your metal things

See the lattice work
That’s your consciousness
See it everywhere
That’s the point of it
Careful placement of trinkets and oddities shine
And align with a sacred geometry

I was wrong about you, I was wrong about you
There’s an intricate thing you do
Kid, I was wrong about you

I was wrong about you, I was wrong about you
Got a reason for this calculus
Kid they were wrong about…

In the model home
There’s a model set
Something that you own
Crystal statuette
There’s are noises you make in the cellar
You clatter your metal things
See the lattice work
That’s your consciousness
See it everywhere
That’s the point of this
Careful placement of trinkets and oddities shine
And align with a sacred geometry

I was wrong about you, I was wrong about you
There’s an intricate thing that you do
Kid, I was wrong about you

I was wrong about you, I was wrong about you
Got a reason for this calculus
Kid, they were wrong about us

about

Wax Mannequin Hamilton, Ontario

Adeney's music veers from scrappy prog oddness and distressed folk to absurdist stadium metal, all with a dark humour that borders on outright Dadaism.
Beneath the unsettling imagery and musical left turns there is a steady questioning of life’s inherent strangeness and his own neuro-divergent experience.
He has appeared on thousands of pub, gallery and festival stages worldwide.
