DEATH TÜ DEMOCRACY VOL. 1

All throughout we’ve heard references to a mysterious leader who guides the rebellious on their journey towards freedom, but now we hear from his point of view. Perhaps the most unsettling realization from this exploration of consciousness is that he admits: he’s just a man. He’s burdened by loss, troubled by conflict, and can barely process and manage his own emotions. He never asked for this path or heavy burden. This song embodies the principles of every single FREEDOM FIGHTER, because at the end of the day, they’ve merely united their common causes to bring benefit towards the rest.

DEATH TÜ DEMOCRACY

The key lies in the chorus: on the surface level, the destruction caused by a TANK is greater than that of a switch-piloted handgun, but here, that is reversed. The first half of the chorus (TANK ... SHOOT!) showcases an army bred through privilege, fighting to maintain a flawed system of prejudices and oppression, while the latter half (AIM ... BOOM!) echos sentiments for freedom. In the face of oppression, there is no settling. It’s either death or freedom. For every blow instructed by the MONOLITH, a spike in certainty arises in the minds who rejoice at the sound of freedom. TANK! serves as a gentle reminder that the pain we suffer today only propels our hope towards a better tomorrow.

TANK!

A play on the infamous “Rodeo Drive”, ROAD AYO offers a perplexing insight into the motivations, determinations and leadership showcased by the FREEMAN. It paints a violent realization: there are no winners in war. You cannot out-brutalize your opponent. While a gunshot wound may be the end of one’s suffering, he who fired the bullet only adds to the list of trauma’s he’ll inevitably face. When you silence your citizens, their thirst for blood and revenge only strengthens, until it bursts through the bubble and demands its expression.

ROAD AYO

AMERICA'S PERSPECTIVE is a head-banging anthem that could single-handedly act as the soundtrack to the rebellion. Spoken from the perspective of America herself, MOC elaborates on the Matthew effect by critiquing the military-industrial complex, an oligarchy-stylized form of democracy, racism, and more. By merging an emotional delivery with a strong, abrasive narrative, MOC perfectly encapsulates all of the heartache, discrimination, and inequality that America has to offer, which led to the Civil War in the first place.

REALLY 'BOUT IT

As AMERICA’S PERSPECTIVE was the anthem for the rebellion, FIGHT BACK is the anthem for the MENHIR. Here, their grit, determination, and thirst for a world completely VOID of any opposing opinion is highlighted and put on full display. They are a ferocious bunch who, through a mole in OPERATION THELMA (the code word for the REBELLION), devised a plan to deliver the most fatal injury to their opposition: a targeted assassination of their leader, his wife, and any potential offspring they may have delivered together. 

When they touch down, war erupts, and Armageddon spreads her vileness through the oxygen they breathe. Mercy is shown to none as softened blades fall from the calloused hands of those who held her before. A thick stench of desire leads these men to slain he who is him as they follow solely into the traps of false fulfillment. In the end, their work pays off, but it comes at the price of their perspective. The remaining REBELLIORS depart to regroup and restrategize, but not before making a vow to return with an intention to free themselves and find their true will. 

AUTHOR’S NOTE:

FIGHT BACK concludes the story of DEATH TÜ DEMOCRACY by leaving on the very same note we picked up on in AMERICA’S PERSPECTIVE: rage, frustration, disgust, and rebellion. On the surface they represent all that leads humanity to conflict, but at their core, they are clusters of unexpressed love still processing. Here, you will find parallels to a history I would like to not only preserve, but also personify to one day educate those who learn better through fiction. 

This project represents the end of an era. The end of an individual who runs from conformity and instead embraces the unpredictable path of success with open arms. Before, I tried to escape my purpose, but now I realize it’s mine for a reason. To even attempt to do so is selfishness in its most pure state. So many people dream, but very little actually ever do. I must show that with a little bit of courage, self-discipline, delayed gratification, and determination, anything is possible.

FIGHT BACK

After countless attacks from the REBELLIORS have weakened the MONOLITH spiritually, physically, and mentally, a fraction becomes a separate faction. They are able to organize more strategic attacks, purify their defense tactics to the highest degree, and most of all, are much more brutal and fierce warriors. They have not only put the REBELLIORS to shame at times, but have proven themselves to be a formidable foe who should only be taken seriously. 

However, their most secretive achievement is the infiltration into a high ranking chain of commanding officers who are a part of the REBELLIORS’ political party. A Judas was spotted, cornered, and brainwashed. He was told that they didn’t stand a chance. That there was no use in fighting because soon, it would all be over. That they didn’t matter. He didn’t matter. He was a failure. He didn’t fail because he quit believing in his movement, he failed because he quit believing in himself. And for that reason alone, the MENHIR strike at a civil twilight.

GENERAL, COMMANDER

I rap better down here 😅👇🏾
