ch. x2
don't stress i ain't tryin to be famous
this is just games, nothing so heinous
no mess, and the clean up's painless
reset right back without any changes
v1.
won't be back come November cause I never left you
yes I always remember to never upset you
cause when we stay together there's nothing we can't do
everyday's getting better even when the world's blue
no change, no games and every day's
the same, the lane, never delays
our claim, no pain, coming our way
it's strange, so strange, i gotta say
v2.
so easy to stay underground when nobody loves
and nobody gonna come around to push it above
two decades in carbonite frozen from the start
escapades were never hype so let me depart
not coy, with no ploys, I'm screamin in
a void, an android, I dream again
vocal, but no loid, a real friend
so cool, but no choice, I see the end

Lapidary

|
ch.
struggle to recall the goal
as I lose parts of my soul
I don't even know my face
everything slowly replaced
fragile I'm slowly reformed
inside I'm feeling forlorn
worry I'm losing my core
trauma piles at my door
v1.
saw you alone in your fighting
energy leaving me frightened
yet I was also compelled
feeling my empathy swell
promised to find you new purpose
integrate you in our service
people thought I was neurotic
couldn't see beyond the toxic
life is too hard for division
so I must start on my mission
so weak I don't what's fitting
everyone around me kidding
even though nightmares are reigning
think my momentum in gaining
entire body is changing
but I can't say how it's draining
v2.
keep it together and golden
steadily holdin'
finally feeling emboldened
too many dead gotta save
falling to rage
so I must learn to be brave
entire being will change
crystals arranged
memory hard to maintain
paranoid I'm losing sight
forgot my fight
was bringing you to the light
I just gotta find another way to reveal the truth
even though I'm bone hope, my soul's finally bearing fruit
reassembled parts, but my heart's never severed now
I might lose my start, but my art's getting better now

My Life Me
01:52
|
|||
|
ch.
...at last found the unlikely
finally got my homies, now it's My Life Me
...watched it growing up from one seed
thought it was forever, yet it slides by me
v1.
Warp me back to '04, sitting on the floor
Talking cash shit at the local anime store
Hangin with my Birches, Pocky getting purchased
Finally found friends, getting over being nervous
What a golden era, Yeezy, Weezy, Curtis
Playing para para to make the evening perfect
Adolescent drama, not ready to surface
Only Hot Topic's in the mall where we're workin
v2.
Gimme back a KB toys, and a Suncoast
Coppin Dn'B at Borders, yeah I miss it the most
Birthday celebrated, hyper-caffeinated
Gift is just the company, so appreciated
Watch it all implode, as folks grew up and dated
Break ups overload; friendships get serrated
Nothing lasts forever, sever via letters
Decades slide by yet we cannot dream of better

Garbage Ape
02:06
|
|||
|
ch.
defies explanations, loved yet never earning trust
before he arrives he's betrayed by his rancid musk
trash the block from tanks, blast like a blunderbuss
yeah I've seen the garbage ape and him is us
v1.
inexplicably present in places so unfitting
rattle the block unstopped by those so unwitting
rain, sleet or snow like the post he's never quitting
try to comprehend what the joke is but no one is kidding
oh it's so serious, sincere and super weird
the surface layer clear yet beneath's a wary fear
because what's expected isn't what has appeared
as it rattles down the streets to hollers and cheers
v2.
refuse clatters and splatters yet none can look away
everyone around is feeling endlessly shook today
barring those already lost to the menagerie
the dadaist felines aligning the whole cadre
praise to the padre with steel gripped in each hand
barely bipedal, yet he wields his street plans
doesn't bang metal, he just shakes his damn cans
not even the worst part, naw that's his damn fans

Meme Song
02:04
|
|||
|
ch.
each track ain't gotta be a theme song
in my feelings, but I wanna dream on
every line ain't gotta be meme one
floor to ceiling, feeling like a phenom
v1.
sit and listen, don't make it about yourself
want to walk it out, but must stay for someone else
if you're typing, you're not talking; no feet in the mouth
worked it, but you broke it, so you're really just a louse
so keep quiet and protect this, set yourself aside
deference to another until they're up in the sky
no rewinds available, no backups or saves
caught a body in the rye, now there's really hell to pay
v2.
there's no simulations to author for catharsis
failure costs immense so you gotta keep it guarded
nothing sweet only cold with rights to a dream revoked
punitive corrective and crucially without hope
know that any further pain is never coming close
to matching the miasma that haunts every post
so sorry; no memetics, nor pop culture trivia
now it's unfitting bruh; hate it? play your vidia
end: (x2)
floor to ceiling, feeling like a phenom

they want that
ch.
funimation and f**kin
funimation and f**kin ayy
funimation and f**kin
funimation and f**kin ayy
funimation and f**kin
funimation and f**kin ayy
no crunchyroll and chill no more
they want funimation and f**kin
v1.
... time for second chance
Combining making for a lotta decadence
... keeping it tight like Gantz
A Ghost in the Shell who's after your Innocence
... alone and lonely
But I'll break through like it's Ikkitousen
... like Escaflowne
Replace your memories like a dub from ocean
Monthly don't cost even 10 eh?
Drops your defense hey
Be your Eromanga Sensei
Netflix a weak imitation
Our animation
Holding you down Gravitation
Ya know I got whatcha needin'
Know that ya fiendin'
I gotcha fix every season
I better not catch ya cheatin'
Stick with my streamin'
Take a HiDive then I'm leavin!
v2.
Let's get super ecchi, hentai so perverted
Back those assets up, yeah let's do a "corporate merger"
I'm no longer nervous, just get on top of me
Combine our libraries and make a small monopoly
And this ain't just a duo, no it's a group or team
We getting down with Aniplex, Madman & Wakanim
We ain't being selfish, we stay fly like Strike Witches
So savor it, your favorites are gettin Sony riches

Blade Tags
01:46
|
|||
|
ch.
Privilege in a decayed history
Elegant in our shared misery
Clout chase airing out the pedigree
Blade tags to impede the enemy
v1.
Maybe it's just porcelain
Shattered doll with broken limbs
Darkest pacts with secret friends
Vow to not return again
Others gazing horrified
Can't stand what this love implies
Never meant for prying eyes
Scene too harsh so none survive
v2.
An understudy in the wings
Swinging by their puppet strings
Machiavellian things
Try it on, it's unfitting
The luxury and status chase
The motivations hard to trace
Beginning to seek escape
Intrigue more than I can take

Mars
01:53
|
|||
|
ch.
... always trying so hard
... always fighting so far
... war god so mars
... war god so mars
v1.
okay.... so what's the real story?
looking at triangles who's Rei? who's Shiori?
who's throwing tantrums? who's the pushover?
who's disguising anthems as just a lush coda?
who's hands are targeted by those with envy?
who's suffered more loss and feels more empty?
want to work out so I can brace as I'm reading
manga intoxication awakens ancient feelings
v2.
feeling like a Kira in your sway and risk taking
but then I'll know you lost a Sei & that's really heart breaking
exhausting seeing struggles in a different composition
looking at a past that was not in mint condition
but I know you inspire in me colors that I'll never know
people see it on me how you inflame a better glow
gossips on each side are stewing preconceptions
no matter who we are, we found our own directions

Den-Den Town

intro:
handing the baton over like track day
the Spiral's Ito but still run it back way
past any villains stepping in wack ways
flame it Burnish or smokin that pack hey
ch.
I used to be living so poorly
anxious and hikikomori
was stuck in the house call me Cory
but then I stopped acting so sorry
went for reality no more pretend then
made to Akiba then out to Den Den
I did it once, then did it again then
pray for the same for my anime rap friends
v1.
ultraklystron here no simp flows here
sound is rollin' out like Symphogears
tired of being boned by this nympho year
so I'll switch the tone and the tempo here
gonna bring it back to the Kyo skull cap
Furuba drip and the jacket patched
ToonZone clique with the manga stacks
and it's been that vibe since decades back
otaku since 2k an era amazing
nerdcore til death, energy never fading
scene finally here after decades creating
giving otaku the music they're craving
fujoshi tell me I got it right
fudanshi tell me I know their type
I just keeping coding it over skype
flows like plugsuit it's very tight
v2.
wild I wifed a Futaba
mixed with that Sana Kurata
dripped in a vintage yukata
shoutin' ah megami-sama!
ignore the fickle whip it like Stu Pickles
money tsunami but came from a trickle
guys it's a deathscythe, not just a sickle
It's Nodame Cantabile, not second fiddle
flow's a Pianica rhapsody
hope the reactions are mad at me
crowds gotcha beyond capacity
but it's the way that it had to be
know that my minimums Nana or Hachi
bishoujo idols in Chanel, Versace
cold like Hokkaido, they still want the pocky
come along way from cheap teriyaki
outro:
at this since Tenchi was airing
ever been shipping these pairings
before the torrents were sharing
I was on IRC daring
flatten the critics like the Noise they are
spanning the distance across to the stars
next generations but it's not Boruto
rumble the world by spittin' a torrid flow

Lane

|
ch.
Every time I think I wanna quit I see someone
Fall who coulda been my friend so I just must come
Last in my lane, despite any change
Never exit once, head spinnin' from the pain
v1.
Never with the bando, he just got the Bandai
Cause he got a model kitted / out lookin' damn fly
Wasn't how he planned he / couldn't see a glam life
Networked like a LAN do / cloud city not strife
Empty? yeah, he's so trite / electro with no lights
Heading for the door first / yeah, he grabs his coat right?
Now he's all gone / without one so long
Repetition goes on / all alone each dawn
v2.
Some said he oughtta dumb it down over the Lupe
Said he gotta come around it colder like today
Sever the ever clever for cheddar in a suitcase
Two faced is even better but he was just too based
Eager for the new tastes, before he's too aged
Feeding off a new wave, the lore, reused waste
Only wants to see how they win their fight
So moments flicker past in the phosphor light

Nagatoro

|
ch.
Nagatoro, Nagatoro / I'll see ya tomorrow
I know that you're gonna gimme lotsa grief 'n sorrow
Nagatoro, Nagatoro / patience ever borrowed
tauntin' me forever as you toy with my kokoro
v1.
isn't how I planned thangs / these misunderstandings
then I see that damn fang / I know that drama's landing
fun to leave me hanging / doki doki banging
twisting in the breeze / love to see me dangling
oh you dangle carrots / make me feel embarrassed
cutting words you parrot / spin me like a Ferris
wheel not a Bueller / moments after school where
you got me on my knees / and then I act a fool there
v2.
eye me between classes / make sneaky passes
get me hot and bothered / steaming up my glasses
you saw I was passive / that got you proactive
doing as you please / ego ever massive
see that you're the greatest / underclassmen sadistI
I can't match your cadence / worried I'll betray this
think you wanna help me / but this way ain't healthy
haunted by each tease / your love is too stealthy

Not NFT
02:13
|

|
ch. x2
boiling all the oceans just for gifs (not NFT)
graphics cards impossible to get (not NFT)
art has gotta find another check (not NFT)
sorry if the truth makes you upset (not really)
v1.
...wait... I know you just wanna secure a bag
...great... but cookin the earth to do it's a drag
...cake... pursuit of that isn't somethin I slag
...hate... to face it like you but we cannot lag
know that art's taken for granted - but that can't excuse the damage
know there's first mover advantage - what's the use without the planet
sourness ain't how I planned it - no sugar coating not candied
really hate to be so candid - but we can't settle like Candide
v2.
...green... know it's the dream, but also a dream
...clean... think it's the future, but it's a fiend
...keen... to make a name regardless of means
...team... trying to build regardless of genes
looking to become immortal - trying to find an embrace
thinking that you've found a portal - but trap door's what you face
looking to embrace the limited - trying to become the limitless
but even if you are gettin' it - everyone else endin' penniless

Everyone But Yourself
01:51
|
|||
|
ch. x2
... you are everyone but yourself
each disguise another trophy on the shelf
... you level up but it's hell
and you can never ever tell anyone else
v1.
each stream sticks to a theme, a neat package
but the medium's rules binds like straitjackets
those parasocial accolades seem so attractive
but you are you playing you, so each action is acted
death - dissociate - dissatisfaction
content is king and the fans want reactions
authenticity sold off in transactions
discussion thereof negatively impactin'
v2.
it gets bottled up and hidden in dank places
wear so many masks that you're blank and faceless
no fresh flavor ever so tasteless
the soul's been cased and left with out traces
you stick to basics and sit back and take it
jump through hoop puts smiles on and fakes it
doesn't matter right so long as you're cakin'
demons chasin' as long as the cash's raked in

Ultraklystron Victoria, British Columbia
Making Drum n' Bass, Nerdcore, Anime Rap, Trap, Vaporwave, Beat Tapes & much more since 1997. Well, started some of those at different points, but whatever.
Ultraklystron recommends:
Second Coming UK Mix
by Nursehella
The flows and delivery are dope, the lyrics are beyond honest and the humor is clever and sardonic. Nursehella is easily one of the best MCs out there, and then I totally wrecked it up by remixing it!

Apocryphal Gospels (The Ultraklystron Remixes)
by Stevie Kincade
On impulse, I did a start to finish remix of Stevie's Personal Sermons EP, and I think the end result is rad. It's weird yet catchy in the same moment, and I think the re-contextualization works well.
go to album
A cover LP project from a long time internet music friend from the OG mp3.com era, Cover Charge features a Johnny Hates Jazz cover where I handle the vocals! Definitely a different lane from my usual!
