| Father John Misty – Birdie Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
"Some dream of a world written in lines of code" ... "And are you really as free as all the great songs would have me believe? Let me tell you why some day, Birdie, you're gonna envy me" ... silicon valley's dreams of electric sheep? maybe suggests this desire man has had to own all aspects of nature, industrializing it... and eventually build a societal matrix that supersedes nature with Prometheus' fire ... "Some envision a state governed by laws of business; Merger and acquisition..." project for a new american century... scorching earth outside of the grid, assimilating what's left into a u.n.ified dream. [... "you have to be asleep to believe" - George Carlin] "Life as just narrative, metadata in aggregate... Where the enigma of humanity's wrapped up, finally. That, as they say, is that!" [What does the search for knowledge do? We want to know everything... we want to know how rocks are made, how trees are growing, how old they are... so we cut down a tree and measure it's rings. then we don't have the tree anymore (what's the purpose of that?) Why can't we just enjoy the tree? why do we want all of this knowledge? what's it for? how does it relate to the human experience? why do we need to know all this stuff? where does it lead to? - author unknown] "It's nothing but falling debris, strollers, and babies down here" and even if mental health and morale within our current model of living have hit the fan... "And you may be up in the sky but our paradigms are just as deep and just as wide What with all our best attempts at transcendence" ... we assume our insanity vital enough to upload into immortal machine like the Johnny Depp film ...another thought... the first thing I thought when I saw the title, was the meme from Bernie Sanders 2016 election where a song bird landed on Sanders podium, giving him the short lived nickname "Birdy" Sanders... and of how the old guard ensured the failure of his grassroots campaign |
