Autumn Light Over The Kingdom Of Traces

Bandcamp

Track 06 Knowledge -Normann RMX-

He wears the uniform they gave him—the right words, the right smile, the approved opinions packaged neat and clean. He nods when they nod, laughs when they laugh, fits himself into the shape they've carved out for him.
But here's the thing: none of it makes sense.

He follows rules that contradict themselves. He defends ideas he doesn't understand. He repeats phrases that dissolve into nothing when you actually listen to them. The emperor has no clothes, but he's busy complimenting the fabric.

Ask him why, and he'll give you the answer he's supposed to give—polished, rehearsed, hollow. Press harder, and the words start to unravel. Logic bends. Meaning disappears. What's left is just the desperate need to belong, to not stand out, to be safe inside the crowd.

He's built his entire life on foundations of nonsense, and somewhere deep down, he knows it. But knowing and admitting are different countries, and the border between them is guarded by fear.

So he keeps conforming to the absurd, defending the indefensible, playing his part in a play where no one remembers the plot. The tragedy isn't that he's wrong—it's that he's sacrificed the ability to even ask if he might be.
