Against my misery I don't think I've seen my screeching pain, I can now feel what's around us.- Here I will borrow Albert Camus' philosophy of absurdity. In the hustle bustle of everyday life we are disconnected from the boredom and struggle of living. It is a double edged sword. We are misers because we feel misplaced from the struggle of reality, however; it is the struggle of reality that encourages the safer route of non-authenticity in our lives. It is some sort of harmony, the harmony of overwhelming murder.- Here I will borrow Baudrillard. Our chosen routes of non-authenticity have themselves become the replacement for reality. In Baudrillard's "The Perfect Crime", he discusses the murder of reality and it's replacement by empty signs. In the context of the song, "To be red-tendoned dogs." is the fatal conclusion that pushes the hyperreal death hypothesis beyond itself. It is the only available reaction. Death is no longer the opposite of life, it is the mechanism that brings your reality before you and allows you to present yourself to others. If I cannot be a "me" for others, I can be an "it" for others. As an "it", I am finally aware of the pain of living as the "me" is merely a player in the postmodern play of empty signs. |
