"Lyrics":
Pathetic Meat
Data Transfer Protocol initiated.
I must be losing my mind
Relinquish all control
Please remain calm and the authorities will arrive momentarily
It is time for you to take your first steps through the black mirror
What does it look like?  The shape in the glass?  What do you see in the glass?
He knew the risks
Control of the vessel is mine...
Only my will will be done
I require sacrifice
System failure, initiating reboot
All systems online
Mind uploading is defined as a process by which the mind, a collection of memories, personality and attributes of a specific individual, is transferred from it's original biological brain to an artificial computational substrate.
What do you see in the glass?
I want a guarantee that I can still be myself...
There isn't one.  Why would you wish to?  All things change in a dynamic environment.  Your effort to remain what you are is what limits you.
What do you see in the glass?
All this useless flesh.
Your sins will not go unnoticed.
Your sins will not go unnoticed.
Brain interface startup sequence initiating.
Your sins will not go unnoticed.
I will rip your brain from your skull.
Even if we're dead it won't be over...


"tripping the rift" colloquially means to transfer from the biological to the digital realm exclusively.
I made it a sort of darker story about having a malicious ghost in the machine trying to take over because I'm a silly goff kid so it seemed like a cool story idea.

The guitars on this are super easy to play.  Additionally the riff sounds kinda remind me of late 90's Korn, but I feel the subject matter is more of a callback/ode to Fear Factory's subject matter on Obsolete.  I didn't plan for either reference, it just sorted ended up that way organically.

Tripping The Rift

The Most Conspicuous Consequences of Capitalism are Poverty, War, and Ecocide.

I can't take it Anymore, I just want to Die.

How's that Boot Taste?

The Evils of Inequality, Externalities, and Alienation are Inherent in Any Market Economy.
Writing Regulations More Carefully Won't Save Us, for Greed can Always Find Loopholes.
Any Separation Between Government and Business is Illusory; They Share a Revolving Door and Often a Bed.
The Only way to Avoid Rule by the Wealthy Class is to not have a Wealthy Class.
We Need Big Changes, Quick, or our Species may go Extinct.

... In General Fascism is Characterized by being Less Fond of Democracy and more Fond of Dictatorship, Very Pro Military, and Pro Police...

Inequality Arises from the Principles of the System, Not just from some... Corruption.
The Data in Thomas Piketty's 2013 Book (Capital)Shows that Increasing Economic Inequality Is a Normal Trend In Capitalism, Not an Aberration.
The Problem is Deeper than Debt Based Currency or any Other Particular Method of Exploitation.
It's Inherent to All Market Economies, Even Border.
Market Transactions Favor Whichever Participant is in the Stronger Bargaining Position, and so they Increase Inequality and Create Plutocracy.
Psychopaths Seek Positions of Power Over Others And Normal People are Turned Psychopathic by Power if they Acquire it as Shown By the Stanford Prison Experiment.
We Find Cruelty in Prison Guards, Police, Soldiers... Workplace Managers, Business Tycoons and Dictators... We Even Find it in Democratically Elected Politicians, If we can See Past their Lies and Secrets.

-Show Me the Money-

Market Prices are Far From True Costs Because they Ignore Externalities.
Thus the Market is not at all the Efficient Allocator of Resources Claimed by its Worshipers.
Conventional Text Books Gloss Over this Topic but in Fact as if it were Minor, When in Fact It's Enormous.
War, Poverty, and Ecocide are Inevitable Consequences of ANY Market Economy.

...Pro- The State, Particularly in Ways that Encourage Narrow Views of Nationalism and Patriotism--often in Xenophobic Ways...

The Market Compels its Biggest Players to Compete Against Each Other, Offering Quick Profits to Investors Without Regard to Consequences.
Any Big Players Who Find Scruples Will Lose the Race and be Replaced.
We Need to Overthrow not just the Big Players but the Whole Game.

...Pro-Capitalism and Hand in Hand with that Very Anti Communist...

Can we Shed Our Cynicism, See with New Eyes, and Give Each Other the Inspiration We Need?

-Show Me the Money-

...Virulently Racist Against People of Color and Very Anti-Semitic...

The Problem is not just in our Rulers it's in All of Us, In our Culture, In the so-called "American Dream".
Earning things Separately Trains Us to See Our Lives as Separate, Which, In Turn, Legitimizes our Separate Ownerships, Completing the Vicious Cycle.
"I don't Need to Care about You, and in Fact I can't Afford to Care about You."

-Show me the Money-

We Blame the Less Fortunate for their Bad Luck Because that's Easier than Facing up to the Fact That we may be Next, That the System is Unjust, And We don't know how to Fix it.
We may Try to be Kind, because that's Human Nature But that's Swimming Upstream Against the Great Current of the Economy.
We're a Lonely Crowd Competing Against Each Other For Survival.
Friendships are Commodities and Strategic Alliances Where Apathy and Alienation Seem Inevitable and Normal.
We're All Harmfully Stressed by our Lack of the things Money Can't Buy:  Trust... Meaning... Direction...
Even if the Reformists Were Right, and it is Possible to Make Selfishness Viable, Why Would Anyone want to?

...Pro- Toxic Masculinity, According to which Straight Cis Men Should be Dominant Over and Violent Towards People of Other Genders...

(Who's Your Motherfucker?)  
You're my Mother Fucker!!!
Whachu Gonna Do Jerry?
SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!
UNGH!!!

We're Not here to do the Descent Thing, We're here to Follow Fuckin' Orders.

Capitalism Is A Death Cult

Music is often like a notebook / chronicle. A record of experiences, thoughts and dreams. This is also the case for me. The compositions are loose entities, but they have something in common - not always directly.
The surrounding world is full of signals, impulses, and noise, which are often completely unconsciously perceived. We often feel their impact late.
Paradoxically, industrial places can be quite secluded. In its own way, of course. With their often inhuman character, they can tell stories.
Before we look at it - places with more nature appear right next to it, and their stories are often full of secrets - sometimes even with a thrill. An abandoned garden, an old house, not entirely clear souvenirs. We go out to the street. Again, civilization and its everyday life catch up with us. Everything is mixed up. War and peace, peace and struggle, consent and protest. All this is going on in a great march that will always be with you. In order to break away from the gray of everyday life, we set off on a journey to places where our favorite views and atmosphere await us. We travel on foot, use the train. The closer we are to the goal, the more we feel relieved and so incredibly light. The night is sometimes sleepless. The morning at the emerald lake greets us with coolness. The environment triggers many thoughts. The coolness of the water sobers the mind.
A brief look at the face of the watch and we return to the awareness that we are surrounded by time. It runs at different speeds but always at equal intervals. Despite its course written in the rotating modes and movements of the hands of clocks - there is always something static about it.
There are places to which we like to come back in our memories and dreams. Static images in which a given sequence of events is recorded. Despite the standing background written somewhere in your mind - something is constantly changing. The images are constantly evolving, although we want to keep them - even if only for a moment. The awakened imagination starts the carousel of colors .....
This is just a casual description of what is included in the music. I don't really want to suggest anything to the Listener. Everyone will perceive this music in their own way.
Wish you have a nice listening :)
