Rousseau: "Do you like cats?"
Boswell: "No"
Rousseau: "I was sure of it. It is a sign of character. In this, you have the human instinct of despotism. People don't like cats because the cat is free and will never adapt to being a slave. It doesn't do anything on your command, like other animals do."
Boswell: "Not even a chicken obeys orders"
Rousseau: "It would obey you if you knew how to make yourself understood by it. A cat understands you perfectly well but does not obey you"
Snapcase are like cats, they don't obey, they do what they like; they play, sweat, scream, and strum guitars. (it's as if Bruno Vespa played not to open the door)
Designs For Automotion, thirty minutes and a few seconds. It's as if the entire record was one big track, everything stays on the same frequencies, the record advances but the listener doesn't perceive it. This record does not enrich itself with new sounds, they do what they've always done, with the difference that this time they do it better, it's so beautiful to hear that distorted guitar becoming increasingly insistent that you no longer pay attention to the words, you let yourself be carried away. It's clear that they are playing at being Fugazi, but they can't succeed, no one ever could. You might be thinking that it's negative (logically) for a band to try to emulate another, often it is, but if you try to emulate Fugazi it's never a bad thing, there's always an underlying respect.
Designs For Automotion must be listened to. Disobey your daily listens and listen to it, after all, it's only half an hour..

02 Disconnector (02:59)
surrender now or disconnect, shes lost herself, her self respect shes head in hands and she knows that shes slipping her time is now and alone is real too short of breath, too numb to feel and she knows that shes sinking, sinking nows your time to face your fears you have to make a leap of faith he disassembles her, a cloud hangs over her so toughen up, its time to hear you out tears may fall, but youll save yourself and nows your time, to face your fears you have to make a leap of faith, and time may heal she'll die for him, and he gives her nothing he'll lie to her, and she gives him everything take, take, take break, break, break
03 Bleeding Orange (03:15)
why, do i work here? eye, electric eye on my back whos the next one down?, to be the perfect clone to be the perfect drone, to be the star employee ten cent raise, ten cent raise work five times faster you pressure me, no apologies you just enjoy your power someday ill be my own boss work for myself, work for myself ask of me, a faceless devotion fill my head with dreams, of company advancement bleed our colors, this is not my life bleed our colors, its just my job a message, from the bottom of the ladder
04 Typecast Modulator (02:41)
dont paint us the perfect picture,
we have visions of our own,
dont give us the safe interpretation,
we want, we want to know the truth.
we're not down to die, and be this typecast culture
we're not down to die, and be the faceless soldiers
dont sell us the perfect image
we'll struggle to find ourselves
we want the unpopular challenge
we want, we want to test our intellect,
test our intellect.
we have learned this devotion
we are programmed, conditioned
senseless, senseless emotions
we've lost our desire to think alone,
to think alone,
to think alone,
we're not down to die, and be this typecast culture
we're not down to die, and be the faceless soliders
we're not down.

08 Ambition Now (03:41)
the most high
and sacred
a love to die for.
complete commitment
your spark, your fire.
For this i will not,
give in.
Its un-tainted,
this is so sacred, its so sacred
and it sets the tone
and the rhythm of your, life.
Live your life.
and i wont
dissolve under
those distractions of
those temptations of
false endeavors.
This is so sacred, its so sacred
and it sets the tone
and the rhythm of your, life.
Live your life.
No matter where your at now
it takes you
back home again to
your safety and
your true meaning
this is so sacred, its so sacred
and it sets the tone
and the rhythm of your, life
live your life,
now.
distractions
down, ambitions
now.
distractions
down, ambitions
now.
distractions
down, ambitions
now.
10 Blemish (02:24)
think twice, take time and realign be careful of how youve misused your design ten times, ten times youve risked it all this time theres no one left to suffer your fall we are nothing, this is you alone we are nothing, this is you unlearn to learn to change your ways are you afraid of what your heroes would say believe and bleed your weaknesses this time, this time you have nowhere to defect you cover your scars with fresh blood restraint is the measure of true strength restraint is the measure of your fate
