about
This song is about indifference for hierarchical states of government, elitism and control. It also about paranoia and nihilism in the face of backwards/primitive political sentiments expressed by the establishment. Therefore the solution offered by the song is to laugh at the farce entailed in the turmoil and solipsistic world of human politics and to pursue one's own life in accordance with one's own wishes regardless of the dictates of society.
I wanted to write a very frenetic punk metal song. This song came to me in a dream. The main influences are ATDI, Black Flag, Nerfherder and the Offspring.
lyrics
Secret club, secret club,
Looking down on high at the sheeple
While you sing icons
Don’t know where I’m going or where I’m from
I’m the piece that won’t fit, the piece that won’t fit!
Distintegrate, and recreate,
I want to see the fiefdoms go up in flames
Go up in flames!
Going crazy,
Think I’m going crazy,
Because they’re listening to my thoughts
They’re stealing my thoughts!
Escape Velocity
Let these limitations drain away
Pride or Ambition, all I can do is laugh
I want to walk along and be synchronised with the rhythm of the wave
Revealing up new vistas on this temporal road
Fortify, unify,
A tranquil respite from the storm outside,
The storm outside!
Profit of dreams,
Profits from doom,
I hope his nightmares don’t come true
Don’t come true!
Divide power into time and you get corruption with stagnation
Stagnation!!!
You say you’re playing by the rules
When the game wouldn’t exist without you
It wouldn’t exist without you!!!
Escape velocity let these limitations drain away,
Fears or aspirations,
All I can do is laugh
I want to walk along and be synchronised with the rhythm of the wave
Revealing new vistas on this temporal road.
Alright!
Escape velocity let these limitations drain away,
Learn the lesson and let go
All I can do is laugh
I want to walk along and be synchronised with the rhythm of the wave
Revealing new vistas on this temporal road.
