Intrusion

Liner Notes
@guatecoop kicked of FAWM 2026 with this instrumental with such fantastic energy, and I was honored when he took up my offer for a collaboration. We have a long history of collabs but it had been awhile since the last one!
I always keep his title from the instrumental for inspirational purposes, this time I did not use the word in the song - but when I saw "Intrusion" I immediately thought of "Intrusive Thoughts" and sometimes I have them... and I know I am not alone thanks to the internet! I also could not help but to share some subtle thoughts about the shifts and attitudes I see online since I was thinking about the internet these days.
Anyways I had a great time with this! It is always fun to think about how I can be in Spain making music with Robert in my home country. :) Thanks for listening to our collaboration! Thanks Guatecoop for another great instrumental to play with!
Lyrics
These thoughts… They won’t go away Won’t go away, won't go away Won’t go
“Go buy it” “It’s on sale yeah” “Don’t mind boy, and don’t run away yeah” Tell the voice in my head I said
Go away, yeah, away yeah
“Have you gone outside?” Going for the west I’m following all of the rest Tell me where the sun is at
You don’t say it, you don’t say it, you don’t say it…
The children Running to the side of the war “Links, rechts” wrong anymore? Go tell em´ on internet
I held the golden key but It’s on your floor “Peace girl, is locking your door” Please just
Hide away, yeah, hide away yeah, hide away yeah
“You won’t mind it” “It’s so safe yeah” “Don’t mind boy, and don’t run away yeah” Tell the voice in my head I said
Go away, yeah, away yeah
“Just swerve left” “Into the side of the barn” “It won’t cause you any harm” “I read it on the internet” “I read it on the internet”
They won’t go away Won’t go away Won’t go
The silent Shrinking at the sight of the bone “Tú, yo” are we alone? We’ll find em´ on internet
We’ll find em´ on internet We’ll find em´ on
They won’t go away Won’t go away Won’t go
They won’t go away Won’t go away Won’t go
To the voice in my head To the voice in my head To the voice in my head To the voice I said, I said
Comments
Great lyrics, I like how it encompasses all sort of intrusive thoughts, from harmless to destructive. And it’s very relentless like racing thoughts can be, sort of pouring into you. Great pair to the hard instrumental.
Love it. Nice in your face gnarly guitars!
This rocks! The lyrics fit perfectly with the music guitecoop layed out. Nice collab, well done👍
