DNA
Absolutely love this song. The line "I identify as my aesthetic" said like that is so raw and powerful and I think the album version really looses the "oomph" this song has.

lyrics
The zeitgeist stood stagnant,
now i’m an inquery magnet,
though I don’t have any good answers,
I can give you something to look at.
I’d welcome the shades we had but,
my spectrum’s a wider gamut,
and hot and cold are only poles of a
whole emotional palette.
So I’ll be
who I wanna be,
I couldn’t care less what you wanna see.
More than a phase or a novelty.
Pronoun debates aint compelling me.
Tellin me,
"Hey punks, get past the fads
the trends will pass eventually,
and who would try to look like that,"
I would, if a look says “me”
I don’t give a damn if I don’t look good to you
if you’re mad, you can get used to it.
Might not get it, don’t try, don’t stress,
but i’m on my aesthetics.
So what if I don’t look good to you
give it up, I’ve heard it all, this ain’t new
you might not get it, don’t try, don’t stress,
I identify as my aesthetic.
I got playlists, got color schemes.
Not a one note chord, I need at least three.
My harmony is what you call rebelling.
If you ain’t buying it, i ain't selling.
My atmosphere projects from me.
My ID ain't accessory,
but my body sure as hell is,
my style damn well is,
my vibe comes out in aesthetics.
I don’t give a damn if I don’t look good to you
if you’re mad, you can get used to it.
Might not get it, don’t try, don’t stress,
but i’m on my aesthetics.
So what if I don’t look good to you
give it up, I’ve heard it all, this ain’t new
you might not get it, don’t try, don’t stress,
I identify as my aesthetic.
I look like i just showed up,
from somewhere that you’ve heard of.
Nebulous earth-tone lunatic, good enough,
good enough for what I mean.
More than one way to sing,
no flags or symbols in sync with me.
I’ll stick to crazy,
'till we all fly gold and navy.
I don’t give a damn if I don’t look good to you
if you’re mad, you can get used to it.
Might not get it, don’t try, don’t stress,
but i’m on my aesthetics.
So what if I don’t look good to you
give it up, I’ve heard it all, this ain’t new
you might not get it, don’t try, don’t stress,
I identify as my aesthetic.
Aesthetic.

A lovely album that, like “Songs for Sad Trolls”, keenly reflects the emotions and experiences of various Homestuck characters.
“Fool” is equal parts gloomy, angry, romantic, and sorrowful. I’ve cried while listening to its heartbreaking lyrics and emotional sound. --N--
I'm re-reading homestuck again, like a sane person, and just went on a spiral wailing to myself (lovingly) about all the beautiful art that came out of this fandom in its prime, some of which is just as integral to my love of this ridiculous webcomic as the thing itself. Haven't bit the bullet to buy the OSTs on bandcamp yet but this album deserves it. I'm very normal about things I loved when I was 14 and continue to love, I promise big suit david byrne
Nearly a decade late to the Taz party, but I’m so glad to be aware of it now! I don’t know what elixir Griffin put into the album but I would like to drink a gallon of it. katiegreene137
