about

The Dismantling

Though, before leaving stage, The Performer and his band are reminded that their payment is time-dependent. They’re nearly there, but ‘nearly’ isn’t good enough for the proprietor. This causes The Performer great annoyance and, as he sheepishly looks towards the audience, he is reminded of the figurative distance between them.

Perhaps it is out of pity, or perhaps boredom, but he finally gives the room what they want. Just for an ephemeral, final moment, a warmth between Performer and Devil exists. They join each other in harmony, both in the figurative and literal sense. Then, as quick as it arrived, it’s over. The spell is broken, the song is stopped short. The shadows engulf the performers once more.

Realisation that the bar is closing leads to scrambled mayhem. The musical performance is all but forgotten. A distant, hazy and unpleasant memory.

Another night in The Lounge is drawn to a close.

lyrics

Prepare the Pipes,
Turn out the lights,
Just for tonight
Courting disaster.
