about

The third in the four part electroacoustic song cycle, Despair draws a parallel between inability and a seed’s lack of growth. Returning to strophic form, the 5/8, 7/8 melody is accompanied by sub bass synthesizer samples and a variety of natural and artificial sound samples.

lyrics

DESPAIR - Vanessa Voyez

I see seeds from the same tree sprouting
I see sprouts from the same seeds growing
But I've started doubting
That I'll ever get it going

I see seeds from the same tree sprouting
I see sprouts from the same seeds growing
But I've started doubting
That I'll ever get it going

The dreams that were stillborn
Must be repaid with interest
An interest that I'm rapidly losing

I see seeds from the same tree sprouting
I see sprouts from the same seeds growing
But I've started doubting
That I'll ever get it going

Was it the poorness of the soil
Could it be the lack of rain
That doomed me not to make any gain
‘Or am I just a bad seed?
