He's a protozoan, he's just a filthy protozoan The roads are dry and dusty and we're taking in the scenery Waving to the people in the fields; This is life to me, as far as the eye can see And you are dead to me I was twisted up in Cwezi shrines and you were the anomaly A conceited disease Time spent in foreign lands is a cure, it seems And it triggered a change in me This is an unfamiliar strain, I have no immunity Ravenous and unrelenting, pathogenic and parasitic This is unclean and it has to be treated Parasite in the bloodstream: this is unclean And he's feeding, he's been feeding on everything The roads were dry and dusty, we were taking in the scenery Waving to the people in the fields; This was life to me, as far as the eye could see And you were dead to me He's just a filthy protozoan

[@tabithaabibba3938]

I love music artists that acknowledge the oddities of planet earth and life, and that don't waste their time singing about another stupid breakup and being cheated on🙄 This song is so real and honest about nature and the dark side it also has. A real classic

[@fervcorsica3358]

Lol tbh, I think this song IS about a stupid breakup. It is obvious she has a scornful perspective of someone else, "he's just a filthy protozoan", most likely an ex-partner.

[@Humanophage]

She went to southern Africa to get a bit wild, caught a protozoon from a local who died.

[@violetindigo8514]

THIS ^^

[@BasileosHerodou]

Yeah I think this is a song about a relationship but that doesn't have to be anything bad, as cheesy and cardboard cutout popular artists make love seem to be it's something beautiful, curious and also scary and I think Linea Aspera had an interesting perspective on this one where from my interpretation she compared a disease that she's never had to her hurt after an assumed breakup and how she has no immunity against the pain that it caused which is imo better than crying about being lonely and sad like most musicians do in their love songs.

[@bliwoabsjwla4585]

They Are! My friends from long ago (in California then, but many of us have moved to slower (less expensive states). I'm in Oklacoma. I've just about had enough of not seeing mountains nor the ocean, to feel the ocean's breeze coming in from Marina Del Rey, or to get splattered by the salty air up north, lost in a mid-kali Ventura flood (you should see the sea get angry in San Buenaventura!) or just humming in the darkness to get somewhere else, But OH! to swim out in the waves would be amazing right now! But I'm a filthy Protozoan. And I've no excuse for me: I grew up mostly Dead.

[@DARKMUSICFORDARKPEOPLE]

Is a shame that this band doesn't continue together doing more of this kind of sound, after all we'll enjoy their songs.

[@feukka1703]

XODOMAs LAIR there were a ton of bands like this that came out at the same time dropped one album and an ep then vanished :( sort of sucks but at least we have what we have instead of nothing.

[@Ninharshag]

Well, we could always hope there will be individual pursuits at least (one of them should be good, if not both) or cross our fingers till they reunite? Maybe she gotmarried and had to ditch the bandmember. Perhaps we all wear lab coats, masks, and carry a can of RAID to threaten others we'll spray them over bad behaviour. Cheers! zo I am kind of reminded of coldwave band "This Ascension," though Dru sings very differently. Their band shared practice space with us (Plecid) in Santa Barbara...the music is haunting. Drusilla is possibly one of the most brilliant women standing. Listen to "For a Day" or "Ill Met by Moonlight" if you haven't heard This Ascension. Everyone likes "Isabella," too.

[@gothicmetal76]

You should also listen you Keluar and Zanias, her other two acts. LA may be gone, but she isn't.

[@IncredulousMisanthrope]

@@gothicmetal76 Look fam, don't get me wrong cause I find music from her other projects("keular" and "Zanias") to be rather fascinating. However, her new music is really not the same and unfortunately enough, it isn't as intense as it was back then when linea aspera was a thing. I believe that linea aspera was in fact, the best thing that they (Ryan ambridge and Allison lewis) could come up with and she was at her best at that time. By the way, Allison lewis has just released an album called "Into the all". She took a different turn from her electronic style and moved towards the "atmospheric genre". I find that album to be impressive and in my opinion, it's one of her best works after linea aspera. It's on her channel(zevzevzevoa) so you may check it out yeah?

[@antichristsuperstar3295]

Listening to her texts of this song and others from her Linea Aspera period "the jungle is hunting me" for example, and her being born in Australia and raised in Asia, made me wonder if this realy about her being infected with a bad strain of Malaria. In an interview she said she'd never go back to australia if there isn't a special reason for it. Then, living in Berlin... nordic and cold, far far away from the jungle that was hunting her, it just made me wonder. Anyway, I am totaly in love with her voice,. She is a sort of enigma, no wiki page, there is nothing about her, it is all about her music. Great artist and I will be there when she is in town.

[@antiscyllisneocht5669]

intricate and properly written save for but two mispellings.. "realy" and "totaly" are both spelled with two L's and now to engage what you wrote.. you have a peculiar taste in women, if what qualities found in her you subconsciously seek in others as she seems to be emotionally distraught and displaced in most ov her songs. i do not know enough to fully commit behind that observation, but this song is as you've described with replacement ov events with characteristics found in a former person ov interest, it seems. as for visually? well.. i'd have to concur with your sentiment as it points to a physical debt you left unspoken that i can relate to as she's ov effect, similar in nature, for me as well.
