about

Largely inspired by Vladimir Nabokov's novel "The Defense", Red Herrings explores territories of decadent rock nostalgia and the mathematical abstraction of chess.

lyrics

Child knows his knees so well, in detail
Itchy swelling scrabbled till it bled
White traces of fingers
On the sun-tanned skin
Signatures appended
Of sand grains, pebbles and sharp twigs
Parallels are pinging
You won't forget until, until

Won't fall, greatest of them all
By long call
Won't fall, guided by the law
Hello

Call him by his last name
The window frame will break
So loud
Call him by his first name
The tournament is over, he's out

Won't fall, greatest of them all
By long call
Won't fall, guided by the law
Hello

Take me there
Beware
All should now be removed
Move over a fraction
The shadow, the reflection
Diagonal connection, diagonal connection
Muted violins, it's better than it seems
The tournament began

The work is done in vain
I better try again
Diagonal connection
No shadow, no reflection
But see he's still afraid of me
I know he's still afraid of me
I'm glad he's still afraid of me

Won't fall, greatest of them all
By long call
Won't fall, guided by the law
Hello

Won't fall, greatest of them all
By long call
Won't fall, guided by the law
Hello
