about

With all the ridiculous cacophony of information we currently swim in, it is no wonder that we've seen a resurgence of conspiratorial thinking. Most of us see this every day: online, from the mouths of relatives, maybe even in our own brains. I wrote Niko as a bit of a tongue in cheek ode to finding out that someone that you know and love is buying in. Pleading my case that the earth is in fact round.

lyrics

The lies are lower than the faultlines
If you want to know the truth
You gotta dig into the gold mines
Where all the taller tales are proof

So i’m like ‘Niko, Niko’
And she says ‘don’t go, don’t go’
We’re all like ‘Niko, Niko, don’t go down this dark road’
But Niko already knows

If you want to fill the ocean
With every story that you sail
Well it’s not deep enough to hold ‘em
It’s not deep enough to hold ‘em
Just a drop inside your pail

So i’m like ‘Niko, Niko’
And she says ‘don’t go, don’t go’
We’re all like ‘Niko, Niko, don’t go down this dark road’

Niko says the writing’s on the wall
And I
Wonder if the words are just too small for my eyes

So we’re like
We’re all like

So i’m like ‘Niko, Niko’
And she says ‘don’t go, don’t go’
We’re all like ‘Niko, Niko, don’t go down this dark road’
