About This Track

'Debris' by Lowertown is an alternative track from the album 'The Gaping Mouth' (2021). The lyrics linger on an intrusive, ever-present hum, likened to everyday machines and weathered power, something that grows louder while the speaker keeps quiet. It turns from steady background noise into a kind of mental collapse, with the image of clutter that builds up and eventually gives way. The overall feel is anxious and claustrophobic, as the pressure accumulates, culminating in “Crumbling”.

"Debris" is a track by Lowertown, from the album The Gaping Mouth, released 16th September 2021. The track is 2:21 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 8 articles about Lowertown.

Lyrics

Debris

Got the hum in the back of my head
Like the sound of you moving your lawn
Or a generator in a storm keeping my house lights on
Constant underlying sound that drives you crazy
Gettin' louder every day I don't open my mouth
But that's piled up first in stacks and topple over
Crumbling everything else around

Run things down trying to, swept them out
But nothing is changed in the end
Maybe because I'm lazy or just don't know how
Spelled it all out there for me to see
A leaky faucet of unsuppressed memories
Feeling so strong you have nowhere else to go
So you dump them out in a scattered mess of debris
Don't care who it hurts because it's too much to bear, you say to me

Spelled it all out there for me to see
A leaky faucet of unsuppressed memories
Feeling so strong you have nowhere else to go
So you dump 'em out in a scattered mess of debris
Don't care who it hurts because it's too much to bear, you say to me
