Convinced Of The Hex
Wayne's Notes from the Album:
The basic track is a first take freak-out jam with Steven on drum kit, Kliph on another drum kit and me on wobbly, distorted bass. The initial recording went on for about 10 minutes. We edited it down to just the section where the groove was best. This was our first successful attempt at merging a low-fi distortion jam with hi-fi computer overdubs. This was the first in a series of lyrics inspired by repeated viewings of the controversial film ‘The Night Porter’ (made in 1974 by the radical Italian director Liliana Cavani). Its themes of submission and obsessions and cruelty and pleasure really put the zap on my sleep-deprived head.
In an early Embryonic interview with Billboard, Wayne descrived this song as
like Joy Division-meets-Miles Davis Group

She submits as she dominates
She gets out of her head
As she talks to the ceiling
You can hear what she says
She said, "thats the difference between us
Thats the difference between us
Thats the difference between us
You see that's the difference between us"
She says, "I like your theory
But it wont pass no test
Watching the watcher
Getting shot in his chest
That's the difference between us
That's the difference between us
That's the difference between us
That's the difference between us"
She says, "You think there's some system
That controls and affects
You see I believe in nothing
And you're convinced of the hex
I believe in nothing
And you're convinced of the hex
That's the difference between us
That's the difference between us
That's the difference between us
See that's the difference between us"

That's the difference between us
That's the difference between us
That's the difference between us
That's the difference between us"
That controls and affects
You see I believe in nothing
And you're convinced of the hex
I believe in nothing
And you're convinced of the hex
That's the difference between us
That's the difference between us
That's the difference between us
See that's the difference between us"
