Confessions of a Dopamine Addict Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Love is easy
Whichever way you start
Taking a diamond
Slice it through your heart
And watch what color bleeds
Task which sweetness
Decimation stings
For inamorata and swan-like swain
For valentine and twinning flame
On whiff of pain and cross
Your cedar burns, aflame

[Bridge]
I'm down for bewitching trains
And cursed tower
Masts blacked windswept
Horizons ever sour
If it takes more to find you
Than setting out a faded sun

[Chorus]
Can you feel the same?
Do the stars inked on my face
State what's changed?
With a distance I can't make
From a distance I can't make

[Verse 2]
For Tango-Smith and cantor camoused
For anguished scrive and maelstrom mouse
On scent of pain and cross
Your cedar burns, aflame at loss

[Chorus]
Can you feel the same?
Do the stars inked on my face
State what's changed?
With a distance I can't make
From a distance I can't make

[Bridge]
I'm down for bewitching trains
And cursed tower
Masts blacked windswept
Horizons ever sour
If it takes more to find you
Than setting out a faded sun

[Verse 3]
Love is easy
Whichever way you start
Taking a diamond
Slice it through your heart

[Chorus]
Can you feel the same?
Do the stars inked on my face
State what's changed?
With a distance I can't make
From a distance I can't make

Nobody listens to this band anymore. At least, not crucially. Not the way we used to. It's the signs of the times. I come here as an old fan jaded by this creepy, disgusting, new SP that has no relation to the old band.

All popular music now has to bow down and sell out to the satanic order, that is, freemasons. You'll see it a lot in rap music, a bit less in rock music but rock is making a more popular comeback, thus you'll see it more in rock too. All seeing eyes, pyramids, snakes, artists making diamond shapes, diamond and pyramid light shows, etc etc.

It's well known among people who have studied Billy's history that he is now a freemason and has sold his band to satan. Thus, the records for the last 10 years that have been draped in odd cryptic meanderings are actually 100% crystal clear once you view it in the lens of freemasonry. That being said, this one's kinda mild.

Let's start with the 2nd single off the newest record.

"Love is easy, whichever way you start Take a diamond, slice it through your heart And watch what color bleeds Tasked which sweetness, decimation stings For inamorata and swan-like sway For valentine and twinning flame On whiff of pain and cross Your cedar burns, aflame"

Nothing too odd here, just romance and some odd symbolism I'll reflect on. "Diamond through your heart" is an obvious FM reference; and many freemason fire rituals happen with elites in forests of cedar. The flag of Lebanon is also symbolized with a cedar tree.

"Can you feel the same? Do the stars inked on my face state what's changed?"

---- what has changed, Billy? I think you know. It's more than the symbolism on your face, but that's part of it.

"For tango-smith and cantor camoused For anguished scrive and maelstrom mouse On scent of pain and cross Your cedar burns, aflame at loss" --- there's your cedar reference, again

My Interpretation

I think it's about:

  1. The Hedonistic Treadmill
  2. The present ubiquity of behavioural conditioning by companies upon individuals (e.g. Facebook measuring the microseconds you look at something, building a profile of your psychology, microtransactions, "Freemium" - they hack the way the human brain works, to manipulate people).
  3. The old stand-by song theme of "love is like an addiction".

"Love is easy, whichever way you start" makes me think "it's easy to become used to something, ... and then to love it"; so be careful what direction you start walking in. It's applicable to any time-wasting thing; to becoming involved and attached to people who are bad for you; to allowing yourself to become controlled by things which you start, and they build up and up over time until you need them, when really they are useless and bad for you.

My Interpretation
Negative
Subjective
Fear
Addiction
Behavioural Conditioning
Love
Manipulation
Warning

It can even apply to beliefs and ideas. Like, look at some event that happens in your life through a particular lens once (e.g. "no-one will ever love me", "men are all bad people", "this type of parenting style / government / toothbrush / etc. is the best kind of toothbrush for all time", "I am a victim and that other kind of people are oppressors") and then you may be stuck with that lens for the next 40 years, unable to shake it once it took root and got folded into your sense of identity and worldview....
