about

The lighthouse Keeper is a dream of a lighthouse. Hallucinations, foghorns, a creaking wreck. Uncertainty, hope and fear rolled into one.
Point Fermin lighthouse is the oldest building in Watt's home town of Pedro. He thought it trippy, how a lighthouse is actually a warning to stay away, but at the same time a beacon, that could also be welcoming. The song is about how much we're NOT in charge of shit. The poem is read by ‘The Go! Team’s” Kaori Tsuchida-Bell.

lyrics

Shipwrecked now
On the raft
On my belly
My arm leaning over the side
w/ my hand in the sea
soaking deep cuts carved by rope
I was clinging to

Marooned like
Some kind of driftwood

I think of the lighthouse keeper
I try to think of one thing
But it always turns out to be two
The lighthouse
The lighthouse keeper
One inside the other
Beacon slowly turning ‘round
Round stairs inside
Up and down
Round and round
Up and down
In my mind
I even hear the foghorn moan

On my back now
Thundercloud over me
It bursts
Filling my open mouth
Surprise
I will not die
Of thirst
This day
