about

This track went through a lot of changes. It started as a short song called Sisyphus, written on acoustic guitar. Over time that got extended and exploded into four separate songs, none more than 90 seconds long, written on Maschine. The idea was that they would come and go between the main tracks. Nice idea... but didn't work. So everything was jumbled and rearranged into Up. One fragment remained, and became Down.

The unintelligible words towards the end are reversed lyrics. They are not a prayer to Satan.

lyrics

You took a part in a play
Expression of free will
Rehearsal night and day

You took a part in a play
Expression of free will
Rehearsal night and day
Rolling a rock up a hill
Rolling a rock up a hill
Every step is weighed
And it’s a bitter pill
When your grip slips away

Follow it down
Follow it down
Follow it down

Rolling a rock
Hill
Rolling a rock
Rolling a rock up a hill
