My Timeline Is A Prison

Lip Critic “In the Wawa (Convinced I Am God)”

“In the Wawa (Convinced I Am God)” seems like it should be full-on punk-style satire, and it’s not NOT satire. There’s no way you shout that title phrase and follow it up with “so I’m gonna get any sandwich I want” and have it not be funny. But the velocity of the music and the intensity of the vocals introduce some doubt. Like, maybe he’s right? Maybe he’s seeing the cosmos clearly? Maybe he’s right to get buck wild in this convenience store? It’s the kind of crazy you don’t want to engage with, like the existential stakes of this aggressive weird guy being right about everything are a little too high. Great arrangement, by the way – love the way they build up pressure and momentum, and how the chorus feels like it’s punching down walls.
