SUNDOWN PLEASURES
Illusion
Illusion is the first of all pleasures
Illusion is the magic trick that keeps us in a system of decline
and pain and hope and our own truth. And then I settle down (in) a hole,
deep under the surface, where no eclipse will give me any warmth.
because my joy is a lie
and the sun is the horror
because my joy is a lie
and the sun is the horror
you keep on telling me that everything will be alright
you are so sure that there is just one truth - your truth - your holy truth
and all my sorrows should be washed away with magic colored water
and your two-headed ability to suppress everything we see.
sundown pleasures
sundown pleasures
bathed in blackness
driven by nightmares
sun down
„Reality is only a dream, based on values and well worn principles, whereas the dream goes on forever.“
Ian Curtis

The Darkest Clan

THE DARKEST CLAN
even the fiercest leader of the darkest clan
needs a head upon her chest once in a while
one that is not chopped off a killed man
one that's alive
even a papercrow screams in pain
trying so hard to escape
beneath a steel sky
it fails to fly away
even the fiercest papercrow
screams in pain
trying so hard upon her chest
once in a while
beneath a steel-killed man
it fails alive
so i sit here
realizing my stomach digests itself
because my head lies in a basket
and my wings turned red from the rust in the air
and if this story has an end
or if this end has a story
maybe there is no story and no end
for a member of the darkest clan.
“The intentions of a tool are what it does. A hammer intends to strike, a vise intends to hold fast, a lever intends to lift. They are what it is made for. But sometimes a tool may have other uses that you don't know. Sometimes in doing what you intend, you also do what the knife intends, without knowing.”
― Philip Pullman, His Dark Materials Trilogy: The Golden Compass / The Subtle Knife / The Amber Spyglass

BOMBING THE WITCHES
crushed souls – of the witches that you hated
for being in your way of dominance
those were the witches that you feared
burning bombing drowning hanging
all the witches in your way
you're raping killing killing killing
you not even endeavor a subtle approach
I was burned for a witch in another life.
was burned for a witch in another life.
I'm sure.
Most books on witchcraft will tell you that witches work naked.
This is because most books on witchcraft were written by men.
when the real witches return
they will show no mercy
everything will burn.
“We spend too much time teaching girls to worry about what boys think of them. But the reverse is not the case. We don’t teach boys to care about being likable. We spend too much time telling girls that they cannot be angry or aggressive or tough, which is bad enough, but then we turn around and either praise or excuse men for the same reasons. All over the world, there are so many magazine articles and books telling women what to do, how to be and not to be, in order to attract or please men. There are far fewer guides for men about pleasing women.”
― Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Wraith War

WRAITH WAR
summoned enemies to serve a purpose
wipe out the others and feel free
to praise your goddess to praise your god
to praise your goddess to forget about your sins
you're in a wraith war
you're deeply lost in ancient fear
you're in a wraith war
alone
there are real skeletons in our closets
there are real ghosts among the living
They live inside us,
and way too often they win.
you're in a wraith war
you're deeply lost in ancient fear
you're in a wraith war
alone
kidnap the boogie man
lock him up real tight
throw away the key and then
turn on all the lights
you're in a wraith war
you're deeply lost in ancient fear
you're in a wraith war
alone
you're in a wraith war
you're deeply lost in ancient fear
you're in a wraith war
come on!
“The philosophy of Atheism represents a concept of life without any metaphysical Beyond or Divine Regulator. It is the concept of an actual, real world with its liberating, expanding and beautifying possibilities, as against an unreal world, which, with its spirits, oracles, and mean contentment has kept humanity in helpless degradation.”
― Emma Goldman

BLACK SPACE
please wake me up
and clean my eyes
the bed sheet clouds my sight
where am I
instantly reaching
I am your soul and all your souls.
I am your floor and i will collapse
underneath the bottom of your feet
to send you down
where nobody went before you.
Please let me sleep
and clean my thoughts
your brightness keeps (me) alive
where are you
constantly dying
I am your soul and all your souls.
I am your floor and i will collapse
underneath the bottom of your feet
to send you down
where nobody went before you.
I was a haunting ghost
a daydream dressed like a nightmare
but keeping ghosts as pets is
like harvesting in black space
“When I spoke to her, I had the feeling that her thoughts had been nourished in wide-open spaces where talk was sparse and silence ruled.”

Hearing the songs while reading the narrative behind the lyrics, I felt overwhelmed by this tragic story in which humans and artificial intelligence couldn't coexist side by side. Their reciprocal annihilation was inevitable. Except one "sole survivor, in a ship filled with memories. She had become the proof of Earth, proof that life had existed there, a voice for all the species and beauty we once knew". A dystopian concept dressed up in brilliant musicianship! @Slevin, thanks, I owe it to you!
