leif erikson T-Shirt

I know I’m a day late for the Agent Provocateur something different challenge but this one was a struggle! In the end I decided to combine all the things I wanted to try into one. There’s some pixel action, a bit of black on black and even some braille.

The song I’ve chosen is Leif Erikson by Interpol. If you haven’t heard this song you must go and buy the album now. It’s worth it just for this track and NYC. The braille idea comes from the opening lines and the red on the shirt represents the lyrics “brief things” in braille.

She says It helps with the lights out
Her rabid glow is like braille to the night.
She swears I’m a slave to the details
But if your life is such a big joke, why should I care?

The clock is set for nine but you know you’re gonna make it eight.
So that you two can take some time, teach each other to reciprocate.

She feels that my sentimental side should be held with kid gloves
But she doesn’t know that I left my urge in the icebox
She swears I’m just prey to the female,
Well then hook me up and throw me, baby
cakes, cuz I like to get hooked.

The clock is set for nine but you know you’re gonna make it eight.
All the people that you’ve loved they’re all
bound to leave some keepsakes.
I’ve been swinging all the time, think it’s time to learn your way.
I picture you and me together in the jungle it will be ok.

I’ll bring you when my lifeboat sails through the night
That is supposing you don’t sleep tonight

It’s like learning a new language
Helps me catch up on my mime
If you don’t bring up those lonely parts
This could be a good time
You come here to me.
We’ll pick up those lonely parts and set them down
You come here to me…

She says brief things, her love’s a pony
My love’s subliminal

    Woah, this is certainly something different! It looks to me like some sort of alien coding/dna. I’m squinting my eyes trying to see something…
