The lyrics are excellent, am now all the more anxious for the release.
God is indeed a metaphor for the answers within ourselves that we all seek. And my bible is METAL. (cliché)

Told Dev earlier how beautifully nutty we thought the lyrics were and he said in ALL seriousness that they WILL make sense.

Heh, maybe Dev's a Druid, or some sort of Native American spirituality, and doesn't realize it...

God/god = Nature, God/god = all of existence, the Essence of everything, etc...

He would probably get a kick out of reading Voltaire, he too was a major proponent of the whole "whatever is out there, if anything, is beyond the capability of our puny minds to comprehend anyway" perspective.

Dev, I LOVE how in the deconstrupdate video with the symphony that the part at the end after the "infinite waltz part" ended with Amen in the old Amen cadence IV to I

^ those, along with "Brownman," will likely be saved for the boxset. same goes for the Ki outtakes, the version of "Om" done for Addicted, etc.

I think Brownman was a Ziltoid related track, so perhaps it could wind up on Z2?

maybe, but it was fully recorded (it's in one of the Deconstruction tracking videos, they do the silly group vocals) for this record. i recall reading an earlier Dev post from months ago wherein a Ziltoid appearance was somehow relevant on Deconstruction, but that obviously was changed.

Perhaps he's a pantheist, although I presumed he was agnostic.

If you think you truely are a dumbass, maybe consider moving to South London. You'd totally blend in. Although all this deep philosophical natter going down in this thread is swooping right over my head.

*special clap*

Oh yay 1000 posts!

Erm, for some reason I couldn't help but respond to this... Why would you have to be a dumbass to live in South London??????????


Yeah, first post ever and its for that... I know, I know, what a 'loser'

Croydon.

Yeah... Fair do's.

I'm down in Dulwich.... the bit next to peckham, not the millionaires retreat.

Anyway, I have seemingly broken my moritorium on posting on this message board (why I never posted before I'm not entirely sure) so I may aswell do something semi-worthwhile


Deconstruction lyrics:- hint of camus???

I shall highlight parts that prompted this notion

DECONSTRUCTION

'You could take anything! …a benign object of any sort…you could take a cheeseburger and deconstruct it to it's source!'

Cheeseburger!
Cheeseburger!
Cheeseburger!
Cheeseburger!
Cheeseburger!
Cheeseburger!
Cheeseburger!

Love meat!

I want to eat myself as the flesh of ancient gods!

What's the point of this? Where's the happiness we've been promised??

Drugs sex and money??? FINE.

OOOH, THEN I NEED TO GET MYSELF SOME GOOD DRUGS
THEN WHEN I GET THE MONEY…LADIES WILL ALL KNOW THAT I'M THE MAAAANNN…
'CAUSE I AIN'T GONNA BE QUESTING FOR SEX IF I AN'T LIVIN' IN POVERTY AND I AN'T GOT NO DISEASE…
…In fact you could say I was a LOGICAL CHOICE!
WOOAH! Just look at HIM, and look at HER! HA!
Running in the circles and then opening the bar!

BAR'S CLOSED BOYS, I'M AN ARTIST!

So, with art without heart,
We will never know the songs!
(We will never…we will never…)
With art, without heart…
We will never know! we will NEVER KNOW!

'It's just terrifying! …There's nothing but reality! …An Infinite void of NOTHING! Where do we fit!? Where's the lines..???!!?? I can't even find my own mind!!! ...I CAN'T FIND!!!'ENOUGH!!! I've had it up to here, and I am not afraid of fear!
ENOUGH!!! I've had it up to here,
...JUST GET IT OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM!!!!

Show me...

So you'd love to run from pain?
So you've gone and you've closed off from god.
…closed off from your true nature in 'I'.
Closed off from your own self!NOW, on the border of the broken chasm, the infamy of man was stretched along.
Beholding as they descend, and the reign of man is FLEETING!
Enraptured in an illusion in which we all belong,
…And our purpose is acknowledgement of the void?!?
THEN VOID ON ME IN WAVEFORMS!!!
Did you ever had one of those…those days?

SHIT A BRICK!

(I know, why I know why I know I am…)
(I know, why I know why I know I am…)

Waveforms of waveforms, vibration waveform, way of the waveforms of vibration.

'Here it comes…SHOW ME!''Woah! good lord, it's a cheeseburger!!!'

'…a double!'

ALL BEEF PATTIES, PICKLES ONIONS ON A SESAME SEED BUN!
ALL BEEF PATTIES, PICKLES ONIONS ON A SESAME SEED BUN!
(Oh glorious cheeseburger…we bow to thee. The secrets of the universe are between the buns...)
ALL BEEF PATTIES, PICKLES ONIONS ON A SESAME SEED BUN,

CHEESEBURGER!!!

'But I don't eat the cheeseburgers guys, I'm a vegi-ma-tarian!'

Hit it!

BEER! BEER! BEER!

I would like to discuss something with you…
BULLSHIT!!!

Bullshit…bullshit…bullshit…bullshit…
IT'S ALL BULLSHIT!

(wanting 'I', wanting 'I'…)

Sorry, I'm sorry…
SO THE WORDS ARE COMING DOWN IN RAINBOWS!
…slow burn, THERE'S NO COVER!!!
Confused?? …I'M SO ASHAMED!!!
There's water... SEW WHEY!

FIRE!!!

CLOUDS FORM OVER THE RAINBOWS OVER TIME!

'oh we're not finished yet are we…?'

'scuze me…ok…GO!

YOU'RE IN GOD!

bleauughurgglllagggll!!!!

TAKE YOUR TIME,
TAKE YOUR TIME,
ENJOY THE RIDE...
ALL WE ARE!!!

I AM FREE HOW ABOUT YOU?



particularly the notion of freedom through realisation of the pointlessness of it all, and yet the need to rebel in an attempt to 'find' or 'be' the purpose.

I am pleased we are on the same level in regards to Croydon. I'm in Carshalton so luckily I can sleep at night knowing I only live NEAR Croydon.

GOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant wait for this to come out.I havent been this excited since Star Wars

GOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant wait for this to come out.I havent been this excited since Star Wars

Damn! I'm at work for several hours still. Someone needs to take this:



And replace Vader with this:



It would be legendary.

And replace Vader with this:

*Dev Worm*

It would be legendary.

Figured I'd give it a shot...MS Paint/GIMP+zero skill, so it may not be of legendary quality, but here ya go (and my new Avatar for the time being --can almost imagine the quality is better when it's that small )

EPIC! Nicely done IMO.
