Projectors Lyrics by Dylan Owen, Abstract

The Traveling Light

2025

[Chorus: Abstract & Dylan Owen]
Project on me, I'll project on you
Breakin' both our hearts, we won't fill those shoes
We'll ignore those clues 'til we both get high
Oh, you're human too? Well, that just won't ride
So you project on me, I'll project on you
Breakin' both our hearts, we won't fill those shoes
We'll ignore those clues 'til we both get high (Alright)
Oh, you're human too? (Yeah, uh) Well, that just won't ride

[Verse 1: Dylan Owen]
Yeah
See these feelings I keep spillin' are revealin' our darkness
I thought we'd hit rock bottom and we'd reap, pillage, and harvest
Be my Suze, I'll be Dylan, we were freewheelin' regardless
Overdosed on western medicine in East Village Apartments
Got two hands on my heart like the knobs of an old projector
And a memory that's bad enough, there's not much that I don't remember
Got a pile full of letters, swept up from a cold September
Lyin' on the floor of our apartment, playin' broken records
Joni Mitchell, Bon Iver, even the sun would shiver
If we burned our Phoebe Bridge or sped off into the Hudson River
We lost our love, but saved face and changed wrinkled skin
Threw a rock into the waves of the Great Lake of the state of Michigan
When I climbed up to Rapunzel, but stumbled and punched
Struggled like Jackie Chan badly, man, I coulda used a stunt double
I was there for you when your grandma died
You were there for me when my grandpa died
We planned our lives, I woulda tossed in all my bets
That we'd be walkin' 'til the end
Arm in arm, this arm resets
If I could rewind Tuesday 22 times, I'd do 'em all again
But I'd be countin' down to when I lost more than a friend

[Chorus: Abstract]
Project on me, I'll project on you
Breakin' both our hearts, we won't fill those shoes
We'll ignore those clues 'til we both get high
Oh, you're human too? Well, that just won't ride
So you project on me, I'll project on you
Breakin' both our hearts, we won't fill those shoes
We'll ignore those clues 'til we both get high
Oh, you're human too? Well, that just won't ride

[Verse 2: Abstract]
Yeah
Two sides of the same coin, we flippin', hope for the best
50-50 I'll end up with another hole in my chest
You'll turn to your delusions just to minimize your mess
Pretend I'm less than human for the ego you protect
That weight would be too much to carry, so you start to cut me down
'Cause otherwise you'd have to realize that it's you you're lettin' down
You know what you do in shadows, I can feel it when you're home
Got me thinkin' who you really are ain't someone that I've known
Mask was slippin', I still feel the way it's rippin' at my soul
Far from my first rodeo, so I was loosenin' my hold
In the past, I woulda kept it wrapped and put up with the bull
Now I hold on while I can, then let the clowns assume the role (Hmm)
Known to think that I contain the rain right out a hurricane
And I know that's insane while batting 5-0 against the game
But every part that's in my heart been known to go against the grain
Like love's supposed to be a challenge and they can be saved
Cope until I lose me, paper thin as loose leaf
Where I write these poems that your lack of depth cannot read
Screamin' into that void, another round as that boy
Still thankful to be me, hope one day that you get that joy

[Chorus: Abstract]
So you project on me, I'll project on you
Breakin' both our hearts, we won't fill those shoes
We'll ignore those clues 'til we both get high
Oh, you're human too? Well, that just won't ride
So you project on me, I'll project on you
Breakin' both our hearts, we won't fill those shoes
We'll ignore those clues 'til we both get high
Oh, you're human too? Well, that just won't ride
