Lyrics
INTRO
Fast palm-muted guitar downstrokes
Crowd noise: distant roaring and rhythmic clapping
Drum fill: explosive snare cracks
Feedback squeal into high-speed skate punk beat
VERSE 1
Wake up to the signal of a teleological crash!
Your comfort is a currency, a sentimental trash!
You’re searching for a center in a world that’s built on lies,
While the "Big Other" stares with those hollow, plastic eyes!
You think the wound is failing? No, the wound is where it’s at!
The failure of the system is the only fucking fact!
PRE-CHORUS
Bass guitar solo with heavy overdrive
It’s the riss! It’s the gap! It’s the static in the air!
The "Beautiful Soul" is just a mask for your despair!
You’re waiting for a synthesis that’s never gonna come,
While the beat of the abyss is hitting like a drum!
CHORUS
Massive wall of sound, harmonized vocals
So embrace the void, let the glitch become the cure!
The only truth we have is that nothing is secure!
It’s the pain of the spirit, it’s a bone, it’s a stain,
But it’s the only fire running through your vein!
We’re less than nothing, but we’re more than they can take!
Burn the grand narrative for your own sake!
VERSE 2
Double-time drums, aggressive vocal delivery
Identity’s a prison with a very polished floor,
You’re scratching at the surface but you can’t find the door!
The surplus of your longing is the engine of the drive,
It’s the trauma and the tension that keeps you half-alive!
Stop looking for a meaning in the wreckage of the past,
The inconsistency is the only thing that’s gonna last!
BRIDGE
Sudden drop in volume, only a clean, wandering bass line
Vocals: whispering, cold, cynical
It hurts because it’s real...
Kick drum starts steady four-on-the-floor beat
It cuts because it’s true...
The hole inside the donut...
Music builds with rapid snare rolls
Screamed at the top of lungs
IS THE BEST PART OF YOU!
Crowd screams: YEAH!
IT’S THE BEST PART OF YOU!
GUITAR SOLO
Fast, melodic octave-chords, high-pitched 90s punk solo
CHORUS
Maximum stadium reverb, 50,000 voices singing along
So embrace the void, let the glitch become the cure!
The only truth we have is that nothing is secure!
It’s the pain of the spirit, it’s a bone, it’s a stain,
But it’s the only fire running through your vein!
OUTRO
Heavy chugging chords
The Spirit is a bone! [CROWD: HEY! HEY!]
The Spirit is a bone! [CROWD: HEY! HEY!]
Dialectical tension!
Ontological riot!
Sudden stop on a single power chord
CROWD: Massive cheering, whistling, chanting "LESS THAN NOTHING!"
END
