I\'ve recently gone through something akin to the stages of grief, over what we call recycling. I also spent the first two years of the pandemic watching polar-opposite mainstream media back-n-forth because we have dismantled the discovery, reporting, and dissemination of truthful news (at least in the States) and it takes consuming bs from both sides to discern truth. \n\nSo to me, in this moment, (is that implied, everyone posts with such absolute regard) what this song means:\n\nEveryone is so absorbed in the pagentry and programming in life that we can\'t even recognize. Could be politics, maybe our outward personas, I don\'t prescribe and it\'s whatever it may be, but whatever, it results in these rote responses and virtuous opinions that we all sing or sing in reply to. That\'s not life...\n\nBecause whatever that is has raped the planet- for commercial gain, for our unbalanced "needs", for whatever. It\'s not a partisan topic for debate, it\'s a goddamn existential threat to the survival of our goddamn species, and it should be at the forefront of the mind in anyone made aware even to the slightest incling... But then that pagentry cranks up the volume and ????la-dee-da???? isn\'t focusing on the contrivances an addicting escape from the unending and extremely rational existential dread? \n\nWe\'re not doing a goddamn thing. We just keep expiring through life, one person after another, all the while vilifying and demonizing intellect truth science and knowledge. So like, as one of those people that feels capable and empowered yet cognizant enough to clearly see there is no societal inertia to save ourselves... Can we just get far enough along in my lifetime to allow my concentrated will and capabilities to physically flee this dying planet, with like-willed capable individuals, and yall just keep whistling about the course of Plan A?
