Story behind the song
Ghosts of riots, spirits of outrage linger in the air, detectable if one stops and listens. No one listens, though. There’s no time. Time has become another commodity, to be meted out by time producers, at great cost, to time consumers. The air, though, still belongs to all. The plans for enforcement of mainstream principles have been cancelled in a bold move that was broadly publicized and lauded by all pundits whose voice could be heard above the ensuing media din.
Lyrics
Aesthetic Shock T actics Enshrine me, blinded along with my shame Weak shock of recognition, barbaric names Nativity of cleansing striding, circumradiant The panic Threat whispered; unspoken but salient Danger put forward through elegy and idea Striates your soul-siphoned populace in dispute Blissfully Agog amid the soul-numbing distractions Split by false dichotomies of identical factions Speak of pipe-bombs. The leading and the led Fated Aura of hallucination command overhead Memetic resolve sends a current through the masses The detonation is set, Illuminati Factional Fetish Spoon-fed the herd in high panic sets alight Vulnerable, Advancing and Entrapped in fright Pallid bedlam dressed in ill hollow, happy sons: Dwindle to nothing, encumbered with warm loving guns I star-crossed, stand Amused taking pains not to be seen Writhing coat of pale worms savour institutional gleam I know benevolent fools dissolve rank suppressive tactics A few words and they're undone, haggard and livid Possession dreams its disavowal Buried in anguish The psyche has unnamed all Fear of wolf or of swine
