lyrics: |
  2018, staring off the Ventura pier
  Credit cards maxed
  I probably should quit music
  Endless void, a Pacific obscured by mist
  I probably should quit music
  But what am I without it?
  Möbius

Track ten, the [*Moonlight Beach*](/albums/moonlight-beach/) closer. The title is **"How to NOT use it"** flipped upside-down (*möbius . spuǝ ʇᴉ ʍoɥ ʇoN*), and the spoken coda is the prophecy tag for the whole planned cycle **MÖB → I → US → MÖBIUS**.

**2018**, Ventura pier: credit cards maxed, Pacific obscured by mist, *I probably should quit music*, twice. *But what am I without it?* One word lands: **Möbius**. Not an explanation, a name.

[Rock Da Fuq Out](https://www.rockdafuqout.com/post/scoobert-doobert-new-album-being-diy-and-thoughts-on-the-san-diego-scene-interview) later connected this tag to [*MÖB*](/albums/mob/) as fulfillment of the prophecy, the first released turn of the four-part architecture. The beach record ends not with a chorus but with the hinge: quit or loop. Luke chose loop.

[*MÖB*](/albums/mob/) and [*I*](/albums/i/) are finished; [*US*](/albums/us/) is in progress; the fourth resolving LP remains planned. See the [*MÖBIUS* meta-hub](/albums/mobius-cycle/) for the one-work frame.
