about

Recorded during namely the summer of 2012, only a few months after I graduated high school. The lyrics reflect the natural naïvite of my youth.

lyrics

Mainstream is just another word
For audible and visual bullshit,
Popularized hypnosis,
Brainwashing the multitudes of the populace.
-
Commercialized hecatomb,
Commercialized hecatomb
Maximizing the obesity
Of sugar-coated doom.
-
Inedible consumptions in our mouths
Saturated in venom.
What once assisted well being
Is now turned into poison,
Poison for our physicality
And poison for the mind,
Self indulgences now only if
Harming and making us blind.
-
Mass media means massacre.
Mass media means massacre.
Slaughterer of the spirit poses
As an ambassador,
Holding a gun to the family of wisdom
And peace to the crowds of deception.
A third hand fabricates a terrible conflict,
And the fourth points to any who try to resolve it.
-
A sad excuse for music -
Disenchanted like Satanic rituals
Held by a depersonified, sexual bind
Who strangles or subjects the repetitive.
Silenced, managed, buried cashcows
Get up, and shit, fuck, get off, and shit, fuck.
A ruined nation of ruination
Toward its job runs once softened cause,
By best rendition, by best description,
Auditory above amitory.
Eyelids refolded, I half revolt this
Biovoluminous idiocy.
So easily can we, have we
Fallen into the trap.
All we see, all we eat, all we listen to
Is pure fucking crap,
Spooned together out of illusive wishes,
Selfishness, and mounds of (finite) riches.

-
Commercialized hecatomb,
Commercialized hecatomb
Maximizing the obesity
Of sugar-coated doom.
