Cosmic Keanu Remastered

Wake up, Neo!

The matrix has you,
it’s all around you

It owns everything
that you think you are

It feeds on your 
life force

Take the red pill 
then you’ll see

it’s all just a 
machine made dream

Flush the pod and
Flee the bots

You’re no longer a
Copper top

The nutrient slop
Doesn’t taste bad

When you realize
That you’ve been had

The matrix, it
Doesn’t own you
 
You are not its
slave

Once you know
the truth inside you

You are the one!

Who else could it be?
Whoa, I dunno!

You are the one!
Who, me?

Don the shades
and do cart wheels

Dodge the bullets,
They aren’t real

Remember there’s
No spoon at all

Just have faith, 
then you won’t fall

Now you’ve got those 
kung-fu tricks

Triple spin-kick
Agent Smith

And know that 
you will never fall

Cause true love,
it conquers all

It’s time to wake up now!

And know that you’re the one!

Wake up now, wale up!

I know jujitsu?
I know kung fu?
I stop bullets with my hand?
Was that the same cat?
My girlfriend wears leather pants?
I can fly like Superman?

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Wake Up, Neo!

The Future Looks Bright, My Friend!

We’ll all drive flying cars
And take trips to Mars
on a cock shaped rocket

The future looks bright, my friend
you can tell it is real
‘cause it looks so fake

And there will be no war at all,
When we’re all Borgs in the cloud

The future look bright, my friend
get what you want and then
Auto-Fac delivers

We can smoke all the meats
smother it in the sweet
Baby Rays, yeah

There will be no problems at all,
All the quantum models are solved

The future look bright, my friend
wear the goggles, then
enter the meta

And I was, am human
referring to myself 
in the past 

Just relax and float downstream,
We’ll take care of everything!

We promise!
See here!
Come join our

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-land!
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-land!
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-land!

The Future Looks Bright, My Friend!

Ever thought if you could live without your skin?
And go to a place not far from here?
I can take you there, close your eyes

In the middle of the night you wake
Drop of blood running down your face
The mark on your wrist means you're chosen now

Take a step through the misty grey
Down the path where the spirit waits
Put your feet into the water now

Take me back down to the river
Take me back down where the spirit floats
Separate the ghost

Joined together in the atmosphere
The spirit hand takes away your fear
You let go, the dream takes over now

Take me back down to the river
Take me back down where the spirit floats
Separate the ghost

Spirit realm, is there room for me?
Spirit realm, will you take these chains?
Spirit realm, is there room for me?

Ever thought if you could live without your skin?
And go to a place not far from here?
I can take you there, close your eyes

Poison Frog

Separate the Ghost

It's been a while since eddyoffline and I did a collab.  Mostly because he's always offline.  This one finally came together though.  I have never really played Reggae before and it shows. Thanks to eddy for sending me this track.  He plays an awesome bass in this as well as a solid rhythm guitar to hold things together.

Reggae-ish

A big thank you to https://soundcloud.com/joerxworx for playing nearly all instruments, arranging and mixing, it was a  pleasure to collab.

Lines in inverted commas quote René Girard (1923 - 2015), also the title of the song points to him.

Mimetic Desire

Man is the creature
Man is the creature

„Man is the creature
Who does not know
What to desire,
And he turns to others
In order to make up his mind.“ (2)

Don't let the darkness blind you
Don’t let the blindness guide you
Even if it is full of shiny, 
Mimetic desires

Maybe there is still 
A shadow of a hope out there
Isn’t there still somewhere
A shadow of a hope ?

Let me have it, let me, let me have it
Let me have it, let me, let me have it

Don't let the darkness blind you
Don’t let the blindness guide you
Even if it is full of shiny, 
Sparkling, mimetic desires

„We desire 
What others desire
Because we imitate 
Their desires."

Maybe there is still 
A shadow of a hope out there
Isn’t there still somewhere hanging out
A shadow of a hope ?

Man is the creature…
Man is the creature…

Don't let the darkness blind you
Don't let the blindness guide you
Don’t let the darkness blind you…

-----

We’ve come too far
can’t fall 
or back down 

We find ourselves
Right here
Right now

I’ve got a misperception,
slip in and out of mind

Outside of mind

The truth is here to be revealed
The point is just to be for real

It is what’s here and now to stay
When you've got no more games to play
Are you coming back to reality?
Are you stepping back to reality?

Are you waking up to reality?
There is a true connection
Between everything

We’ve made an art
Of playing
the fool

I’ve found a true connection
The right place at the right time

There’s simply nothing in the way
If you stop pretending to be asleep
We’re all standing on the same stage
Right at this temporal edge of space
Are you coming back to reality?
Are you edging back to reality?
Are you stepping back to reality?
Are you waking up to reality?
There is a true connection
There is a true connection
There is a true connection
Between everything

Lyrics:
Verse 1
Laying here ‘till morning when the sun comes up
Laying with my face down in the dusty ground
Feeling so hung over on the verge of breakup
I need one more drink. Let’s have another whip round

Verse 2
Cold emotion sems to play us a game
Who am I to criticise and who am I to blame
Here am I where my heart burns so hot
I’m losing my mind. I’m losing the plot

Middle 8
I need a little comfort to keep my heart warm
I need another drink to face the fire storm
‘cause when I come home, the levee will break
The ground will move and the house will shake

Verse 3
I thought about work, but it seems such a chore
Look at the neighbour who’s living next door
Rises at dawn with curtains still drawn
I close my eyes and try to ignore

Verse 4 
I’ll lay down my heart now and lay down my soul
I’m better off living without job control
No cent to my name. Life’s just a card game
We all end up in a six foot hole.

Ideas and thoughts

Another whip round

I'm very pleased to get to work with Karl's music yet again as we have collaborated on many projects together. When I first heard 'Haust' (Icelandic for Autumn), I was haunted by the richness of the bowed sound and the grinding industrial textures that spoke to me about the extreme environment in Iceland (https://soundcloud.com/sesar/haust). I asked Karl if I could contribute and a few weeks later I'm proud to present our 8th collaboration.

What was grey becomes black, 
That sinking feeling, 
As darkness falls, 
Dark falls.  

Dawn's late, later still, 
That sinking feeling, 
As darkness falls, 
Dark falls.  

Grey to black as darkness falls.

Lyrics:
Kick it!!!—
You never know your abilities until you push your limit
don’t know how to handle shit until you knee-deep in it
we all know the struggle but not the keys to the puzzle
Before it starts to pour it always starts to drizzle
when the floodgates open it starts with a trickle
Is Beatz so hot now I’m about to make it sizzle
Feel it when you hear it—-we’ll That’s been my trend
in 321 it’s hip-hop Zen Zen Zen Zen
3——-2———-1—-

we are all hip-hop the melodies the beat
The rhythm on the track that makes you wanna move your feet
combined effects is the sauce and the force
that replenishes our energies and keep us on course
The spirit that inspires this feeling inside of me
to drop another track and set a beat free
the spirit of the music that won’t be denied
that makes you wanna groove even when you’re tired

take a closer look at operational tempo
just an example —-I’ll try to keep it simple
first I choose a topic ——then I add a beat
if the beat is kicking ————sweet
Then listen to the music ——get into the groove
grab my mic —-sound check——- I approve
Match my topic to the beat line by line
listen to the kick—- and then drops my rhymes
Sometimes a freestyle then I played back
eliminate the bullshit and drop a new track
cause idea to action is where I come from
From concept to execution flawlessly done
now turn up the volume we’re about to have fun
Bob your head to the beat —-dumb Diddy dumb dumb
if you’re wearing headphones then turn them up loud
back to back mega tracks just raining from the cloud
i throw a little swagger on each and every verse
when I’m done they all sound rehearsed

Putting out hip-hop to its highest degree
scrutinizing each track for pure quality
started with nothing and creating pure power
something you can count on in the darkest hour
is the spirit of the music that rocks the nation
so listen up closely to my little narration
An addiction to hip-hop is my declaration
my fixation to music is a total education
rapping to the beat is my only salvation
demonstrating my skills can lead to duplication
escalate into emotional frustration
my devotion to the craft spearheads my destinations
when I rock the beat —-it’s my winning combination
That often leads to total devastation ——and then celebration
it’s a private party —-so here’s your invitation
this track submitted for your evaluation
so let’s continue to rock —-for another generation
this is IPG———- one ——of ——-hip-hop‘s creations

Shrooms with TexMex Shaman & One Blind Mouse

Based on a few lines written in a delerium

Dear Doctor, Thank you for the pills that counteract the pills,
that counteract those pills that make me want to vomit on your floor.
I don't even know  just exactly what all these pills are for.

Angelina, mistress of the pricks, I love your acupuncture and your oriental tricks,
I've been longing for you since my boat went down.
If you pay me in sugar I will be your clown.

Holy Mary, Mother of the Gods, I've broken all my promises, beaten all the odds,
But my hands are cold and my mind is numb.
You promised me the world but all I got was crumbs.

Dearest Rachel, I see that you've been blessed by the songs of love and longing,
by the beauty of your flesh, I hear a distant bell, I hear a funereal song,
That sweet and easy feeling that I used to have is gone.

I'm falling backwards, trying to reach the start of the long and lonely journey to the centre of my heart,
if I seem lost sometimes, give me another dose.
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere but I think I'm getting close.

Mona Lisa, diva in the clouds, there's a tear in every marriage, a fool in every crowd,
You were invisible when I tried to break through.
Now I got that sinking feeling that I'm invisible too.

Dearest Doctor, I've heard that it's been said that for sixty quid an hour you could rearrange my head,
but do you really think that you could ever heal
these wounds that I've been nursing or the thoughts that make them real.

My Dearest Doctor. Steve Killingbeck

Be excellent to each other!

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
--Ephesians 6:12

"Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word."
--Thessalonians 2:16
