Wonderfully dark and dystopian!  Great work!

Right on! Lyrical fuel to fire the dip **ITs of our planet!  HUGZZ to you both!  :D :D You damn straight they segregate... And someone should maje them eat agates for aggravation!

Super sounding track Dear Steven...lyrics, dark and edgy as ever XOXOXO

The song "NEXT WE COME FOR THE CHILDREN" appears to be an artistic expression within the industrial music genre, using provocative lyrics to critique societal control, child separation, and oppressive regimes. While it may resonate with or reference past controversies, such as the 2023 viral video mentioned, no direct connection was established. The artist's broader work and genre context suggest a focus on rebellion and social commentary, making the song a piece of cultural critique rather than a direct political statement. Researchers and listeners are encouraged to consider the historical and psychological dimensions of industrial music when interpreting its intent, acknowledging the complexity and potential for multiple interpretations.

The Beautiful Dark thinks I'm a disgusting piece of shit because I use my songs to call out pedophiles, rapist, serial killers, users and abusers, I'm a disgusting piece of shit because I speak out so forcefully against these psychopaths, sociopaths and narcissists, because I passionately defend victims and underdogs, he also criticises the fact that I use direct language when addressing heinous issues, thinks I should use metaphor instead; doesn't see to understand it's about reaching everyone with this message, making it clear and accessible to people of all backgrounds, not just to intellectuals who do cryptic crossword puzzles!

NEXT WE COME FOR THE CHILDREN
BUT FIRST WE SEND THE PARENTS AWAY
THIS WAS NO SNAP DECISION
THIS IS ALL PART OF OUR VISION
>
FIRST YOU TOOK AWAY OUR CHILDREN
THEN YOU TRIED TO SWALLOW US WHOLE
SENT THEM ALL AWAY TO A DISTANT COUNTRY
THAT’S WHEN WE THE PEOPLE LOST ALL SELF-CONTROL
>
EATING US AWAY EACH AND EVERY DAY
WE WANNA LASH OUT, MAKE YOU PAY
ONCE YOU’VE BROKEN THE LAW, CROSSING EVERY LINE
FIGHTING FOR OUR CHILDREN IS NO LONGER A CRIME
>
HERE TO CATCH THE DREAMERS WHO ARE DREAMING THE DREAM
FOR WE HATE HAPPY ENDINGS AND WE’RE MEANER THAN MEAN
ICE BY NAME AND VOCATION, AND ICE IN OUR BLOOD
THREAT TO NATION AND TO YOUR FREEDOM, WE ARE MISUDERSTOOD
>
WE ARE NOT HERE FOR THE PEOPLE, WE ARE NOT A FORCE FOR GOOD
WE REPRESENT THE WISHES OF A VISCIOUS REGIME
OUR GOAL TO FLOOD THE COUNTRY WITH PSYCHOTIC BIGOTRY
A RETURN TO SEGRAGATION, SOUTHERN RACIST HOSPITALITY

The Feathered Crown is a card of pride, loss, and the aftermath of hubris. It draws upon two rich veins of folklore — the Appalachian belief in a feathered crown found beneath a dying person’s pillow, and the ancient myth of the Sirens and the Muses. Together, these stories form a layered symbol of reckoning, the echoes of lost glory, and the burdens of victory.

In Appalachian tradition, discovering a tightly woven feathered crown in a pillow was often seen as a sign that the soul of the deceased had passed to heaven, a mysterious mark of spiritual judgment. In mythology, after the Muses defeated the Sirens in a singing contest, the Sirens were stripped of their wings as punishment for their arrogance. The Muses, triumphant, wove the plucked feathers into radiant crowns — symbols of their victory but also of the destruction they wrought.

This card stands at the intersection of triumph and regret. It speaks of victories that come at a cost, the spoils of conquest weighed down by lingering guilt or sorrow. The Feathered Crown reminds us that success without humility invites ruin. It asks whether our pursuits of recognition or superiority are worth the burdens we carry in their wake.

LYRICS
---------------------------------------
I saw your feathered crown, the one you keep under your pillow
Did you think that you could hide it from me?
As you don your supple plumage, tell me did you win it truly
From the fairest maidens of Persephone?
Are your songs of grief and woe, are they songs of deep regret?
With feathers plucked from silvery Sirens wings?
Or from the tails of rainbow ravens perching just outside your window
Waiting for the passing ships to hear them sing
Waiting for the passing ships to hear you sing

Dashed upon the rotten rocks of harpy limbed nightingales
Where tides resound with death inducing cries
As the sailors climb and clamor for a seat upon the razor
And a melody to cling to as they die
Rejoicing in the arts of their inglorious ease,
Freely frolic where the churning waters flow
Diving from the clifftops, splashing down into the seas below
Charming in both poetry and prose
Alluring in both poetry and prose

Whosoever dare to wear the feathers in their hair
Like the parrot and the magpie in a cage
That we may divert our stare from the circling of the bear
While standing proud upon the heavens final stage
When the starry sisters nine, with their bellies full of wine
Have bested you at your own foolish games
And the ships all passing by which now leave you there to die
Having never even known your given names
Having never even known your real names

I saw your feathered crown, the one you keep under your pillow
Did you think that you could hide it from me?
Oh, Josephine, you should have known better.

The Feathered Crown

On a saturday night I feel a little restless, a need for something
And after a few glasses of wine, I think:
Rest can wait until another time
Don't want to be alone
(So I call you)
Pick up the phone

Du du-dudu-dudu..
Hello?

Chorus:
Will you come and have some fun with me?
The night is young, the wine is strong
Will you come and say hello to my crazy side?
It's pretty wild!

Dudu-dudu-dudu..
Hello?

On a sunday night i feel anything but tired, can't sleep
And after twisting my mind, I think:
Sleep can wait until another time
Don't want to be alone
(So I call you)
Pick up the phone

Dudu-dudu-dudu..
Hello?

Chorus:
Will you come and have some fun with me?
The night is young, the wine is strong
Will you come and say hello to my crazy side?
Its pretty wild!

Dudu-dudu-dudu..
Hello?

Before the Storm

Bruce Klepper's beautiful piece "Chiaroscur" inspired me a few ideas about art that I wrote in French. I sang them over Bruce's instrumental, improvising some melodies and vocal harmonies, and here is the result. 

*** L'ART POUR L'ART ***

L'art pour l'art, ou l'art pour l'argent?
Car il faut bien vivre, il faut bien survivre.
C'est bien évident...
Parfois c'est bien clair.
Parfois ça dépend…
Pour atteindre les rêves il faut rester sur sa faim,
et jeuner souvent, et prier longtemps.  
On prie quand on cherche la réponse dans l'âme,
la beauté dans le geste, le génie dans le vent.
L'obsession qui nous prend de puiser le néant,
de parfaire une esquisse, de créer tâtonnant,
c'est ça l'art pour l'art
qui coule dans le sang.

L' Art Pour L' Art (based on Bruce Klepper Chiaroscur instrumental)

Negative Fluency Effect isn’t looking to win any popularity contest, we’re all about RUBBING SOCIETY’S NOSE IN ITS OWN FILTH!

Musicians who don't give a crap about public or music industry approval write lyrics like these! I've been anti-establishment all my life, unlike the phoney, pretentious, preachy, I’m your saviour, Bono types out there with their MORAL POSTURING and STRATEGIC SURVIVAL tactics! No fame, no fortune, no recognition, but we’ll leave this world with our truth to power authenticity and integrity intact!
