about

Manatee is Majestic Man's first full length album, and it has been a long time coming. Tracking for the album began in early 2011. Three tracks from the album ("Age of No Reason," "Someday," and "What's My Name?") were released in the summer of 2011 on a split EP which also featured 2 songs from a side project called Cookin' Hearts.

All instrumental tracks were recorded live in the basement of our house over the course of a few weeks in early Spring, 2011. Vocals, some auxiliary percussion and a few lead guitar parts were overdubbed after the fact.

Track Name: Wilderness Witch
In the Summer time,
so nice.
Everything feelin' right
The woods contain their very own
but let us stop to think
that the wilderness
and all it shows
must remain all alone
to save what's left,
remains untouched,
all that money that's corrupted us

Alone
for hundreds of years
my brothers would say
she's dead but she lives
Can't you feel her weight
pushing you down?
Can't you feel her weight
pushing you
down

And on and on
she lives her life
so content she's even made her bed
in her house made of sticks
to die all alone
Her blood,
rotten red
As her home becomes dry and dead
It was never meant to be
the Wilderness Witch

Alone
for hundreds of years
my brothers would say
she's dead but she lives
Can't you feel her weight
pushing you down?
Can't you feel her weight
pushing you
down
Track Name: Spanish
They used to say
back in the days of our lives
That how we treat ourselves
doesn't mean we'll find our own way
And they used to sing
songs to the dead and they spoke.
And if we kill more than we make
they'll consume our soul

No, you're not welcome in this town no more
No, you're not welcome in this town no more
So go
And I wanted to go

And once believed
we could dream with our eyes closed
but as the days proceed
we've grown detached from our home
This Earth we live,
show it no love,
she we will die.
It's surely a path less known
so she cries out

No, you're not welcome in this town no more
No, you're not welcome in this town no more
So go
And I wanted to go
Track Name: Someday
And when I thought that what was written as truth
with no idea
These past beliefs
we've left behind
you truly have no idea

Someday
Maybe we'll live up to
One day
our brother and sisters too
Someday
When the sun it shines on us
One day
maybe we'll see

But when the sun it comes
it shines so gracefully
what we've put forth to taste,
stays in its grave.
Let the youth have no change

Someday
Maybe we'll live up to
One day
our brother and sisters too
Someday
When the sun it shines on us
One day
maybe we'll see

Someday
Maybe we'll live up to
One day
our brother and sisters too
Someday
When the sun it shines on us
One day
maybe we'll see
Track Name: Age of No Reason
We weren't meant to shuffle past
each other on the street
pretending to be so interested
in all these cracks in the side walk
these cracks in the side walk

And we're all sliding down
to the very depths
of indecency and ignorance
It's the dawn of a new era
convictions change with the season
and we'd like to welcome you
to the Age of No Reason
oh, we've got none
Track Name: What's My Name? (Give Me Your Number)
If you would choose to pull me aside
and tell me your name
I couldn't remember anything
I know it's wrong but it's right
to play these guessing games
I could care less about what I see

What's my name? What's my name?
Give me your number babe
What's my name? What's my name?
Give me your number
Holla back with your number,
I will call your name
What's my name? What's my name?
Give me your number

I've heard so many things about you girl
good and bad,
things I can't believe
And when the shit hits the fan
you know I'll up and leave
'cause that's the only life I choose to lead
What's my name? What's my name?
Give me your number babe
What's my name? What's my name?
Give me your number
Holla back with your number,
I will call your name
What's my name? What's my name?
Give me your number
Track Name: Swine Flu
The last time you had heard a single word from me
I was bottom up drunk
pretending that I could make you see

And I find it harder with these times
as I hit the pavement
Just let me be.

This'll be the very last time you'll hear from me
as you melt in your chair
and your soul begins to leave.

And I find it harder with these times
as I hit the pavement
Just let me be.

-interlude-

A murder will kill a fuckin' murder and get away.
He takes his time, uses his mind,
just to save his face
I'm a martyr, yeah
just with no time to die.
Thinking it's disgrace,
but he's just offending his own kind

o-o-ooh
offending his own kind
o-o-ooh
not mine

He's offending his own kind
He's offending your mind
He's offending his own kind
He's offending your mind
Track Name: Bodysnatcher
On a block, down the street where the man he rolls
checkin' for signs of the people he'd once known.
Oh the time, how she flies by
snatchin' up the bodies as she fly
And on that corner a man holds up his sign
a cup half full of nickels and dimes
to be homeless when the world's your home
it's called the Bodysnatcher

Politics, dirty tricks, keepin' you out
they'd rather it be us not them.
The rich remain so rich
while the poor stay poor
When educators are foreclosed
the Snatcher laughs from his throne.

So he moves to a place to call his own
but wait a second you still owe, owe, owe.
more complicated than it needs to be,
but the Bodysnatcher doesn't work for free
And all his loved ones have forgotten his name,
a title of his own to make one day.
I know you know how the story goes
You know it's called the Bodysnatcher

Politics, dirty tricks, keepin' you out
they'd rather it be us not them.
The rich remain so rich
while the poor stay poor
When educators are foreclosed
the Snatcher laughs from his throne.
Track Name: Part I
Why are we all so blue?
What makes us all still move?

When you came to the floor,
propped up in your chair.
Jokers work as a chore,
we all blankly stare.

And you consider those dreams done well
You either half die or live and I know that you will
What have we come to?
treatin' everyone like we're able
to make our own god,
to fake our own love.
Track Name: Train
Got no more love in the game (love in the game)
Got no more time for this game,
and it's shame...and you should feel ashamed

What this has come to,
another path in our path as we've passed.
Speculate that it's through,
this roof is about to crash,
and you're still passin' the blame
cause you'll be ridin' that train
