written for the Spintunes 17 Round 1 (Pleasure To Meet You) contest, March 2021. "Challenge: Introduce yourself with a song. You may present yourself truthfully, embellish your image, or adopt an entirely fictitious persona."
So Lucky Witch being the weirdos and eccentrics that we are, Brookes immediately thought, how does Cthulhu introduce itself, if you can't say its name aloud because the name is an eldritch screech beyond human comprehension that will make you go mad to hear it? This song was the result of that thought experiment.
lyrics
My name’s a word that cannot be said
My name’s the thought that whispers inside your head
And if you heard it, you’d wish you were dead
The memory will haunt you beyond your deathbed
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello
My name is <screech>
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello
My name is <screech>
I’ve been waiting since before the stars were born
I existed in the exhale when the universe was torn
My essence lurks inside the storm’s deadly churn
If you want to summon me, well, first be forewarned
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello
My name is <screech>
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello
My name is <screech>
Below the sea, I’m lurking
Behind your eyes, I’m hiding
Below the sea, I’m lurking
Behind your eyes, I’m hiding
Below the sea, I’m lurking
Behind your eyes, I’m hiding
Ohhhhhh
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello
My name is <screech>
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello
My name is <screech>
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello
My name is <screech>
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello
My name is <screech>
