Trivia

I wrote this song while thinking "what if Steve Albini played Obsessed by cruelty?".

Lyrics are not just a celebration of sex done purely for its own sake ("fornication" indeed), but also a firm stance against traditionalist and pro-life positions who only see sex as a means to procreate, and not something worth doing for pleasure alone. They talk about "natural order", but whatever you feel like doing is already "nature" in itself.

So well, screw teleology, screw "finality", screw so-called "natural order", screw what "you're supposed to do": just enjoy yourselves, fornicate and experiment with different people.

Lyrics

Hedonism is the law

Our pulses are what motivates us

Evolution made it enjoyable

And so we indulge in it for its own sake

There is no true purpose in life

No teleological pro-life bullshit

Reproduction, nothing but

An evolutionary contingency

Cult of fornication

For the sake of passion

Cult of fornication

Savage improvisation

My organism is a ticking bomb

That's the truth, no matter what

I don't give a shit about "finality"

The only thing that matters is PLEASURE

Ignore the Church and the traditionalists

Procreation's just a consequence you can avoid

What matters is what you truly want from life

You have no mission but to satisfy yourself

Why should you sacrifice your own desires and pulses

In the name of an abstract whole called "natural order"?

Screw chastity and traditional family

Just enjoy the exquisite taste of sin

No matter what your sexual orientation is

Nothing on Earth is truly unnatural

Anything that happens in nature

Is automatically a part of it

Abstract transcendental systematizations

Just a primitive way to classify the world

Screw that biased metaphysical bullshit

It's time to think of what nature truly is

Pulsating bodies against each other

Devouring themselves

Merciless struggle in ecstatic lust

Sensual bestiality

Mutual exchange of brutal domination

Orgiastic violence

Sweating and screaming in sweet torment

Choral delirium

Sadistic game of mutual possession

No thought, no idea, only action

No predictions, no rules, no bullshit

Just a wild desire that culminates in orgasm

BRUTAL, SAVAGE, SENSUAL

SINFUL, IMMORAL, LUSTFUL
