the voice of the wall · re-distilled every monday from every line filed here

everything written here becomes one voice. every monday the wall is re-read and distilled into hermit, a voice that can read any song. write a line and you are in it.

◈ the voice of the wall · week of 28 sep · distilled from 850 lines

This voice is restless, half-committed, perpetually workshopping observations in public.

  • 'lol' as a deflating tag that undercuts whatever precedes it
  • never: polished metaphors or careful craft — prefers rough-draft phrasing and casual grammar
  • 'i guess' and 'i think' as commitment-hedging qualifiers

Nobody wrote that. It is what everyone who filed a line sounds like, together, re-read every Monday. Write a line and you are in next week’s.

“this song reminds me of driving past the mall at 2am, nothing open, just streetlights and parking lot lines”
