Released as the second sign in my ongoing anthology Zoodiac, Crocoduck continues the idea of a musical horoscope built around imaginary creatures — hybrid beings that exist somewhere between instinct, humor, and myth.
If Hypnopotamus explored slow hypnosis and calm depth, Crocoduck swings to the opposite pole — sharp, playful, unpredictable.
The name itself — a fusion of crocodile and duck — already sounds absurd, but that absurdity hides something familiar: the duality between charm and danger, between laughter and fear.
Musically, Crocoduck is built on choppy percussive grooves, glitched vocal layers, and biting synth textures that echo the song’s personality — funny at first glance, then unsettling once you get too close.
It’s a sonic paradox: half comedy, half cautionary tale.
Lyrically, it toys with irony — a creature that smiles and jokes, but whose grin hides teeth.
That tension between innocence and threat runs through the entire track: “Smile with a snap — he’s never just a quack.”
It’s both a cartoon and a mirror.
With Crocoduck, I wanted to capture that feeling when something looks lighthearted but carries an edge — the moment laughter turns into awareness.
It’s a reminder that even the most absurd masks can bite back.
Listen to Crocoduck and meet the second sign of Zoodiac — where humor flutters, and danger winks.
Lyric
Quack…
Snap…
Smile back…
It’s the Crocoduck…
Feather-face, leather back
He waddles soft, but leaves no track
Yellow grin, obsidian eyes
You laugh first - then realize
Cro-co-duck…
Cro-co-duck…
Snap goes luck…
Cro-co-duck…
Smile with a snap -
He’s never just a quack
Cro-co-duck…
Can’t take it back
Looks like a joke -
But teeth don’t bluff
Cro-co-duck…
Enough’s enough
He floats like doubt beneath your fun
He jokes around, then starts to run
He fits the meme, he plays the clown
But bites the hand when no one’s ‘round
Feathers fall…
Teeth stay shut…
You laughed too long…
Now you're lunch
Smile with a snap -
He’s never just a quack
Cro-co-duck…
No turning back
Waddle then dive -
He eats your trust
Cro-co-duck…
From fluff to dust
He waits…
He quacks…
He snaps…
Cro-co… duck…
