Denial of nature

Trivia

Aww, the first song I've ever written. Merciless-like strumming meets old school death metal "labyrinthine" riffing. Lyrics expose cults, rituals and other similar socio-cultural practices for what they are: a way to control our behavior, often in direct antagonism to our self-serving animal nature and to self-interested social progress. This song is a cry for freedom, and an invite to reject certain values that have been with us for too long and take back our more "primitive", "selfish" side.

As George Carlin once said, "leave symbols to the symbol-minded".

Lyrics

Idiocy

Bigotry

All this shit

CRIPPLES SOCIETY

Human demands

Left behind

In the name

OF OBSOLETE VALUES

Frustrating

Limitative

Self-inflicted

OBSTRUCTION OF PROGRESS

The old values

Are still alive

Crush that shit

AND BE ANIMAL

Arbitrary

Without logic

A denial

Of our nature

ARBITRARY

Ancestral conviction

ARBITRARY

Tribal superstition

DOGMATIC

Filter on reality

DOGMATIC

Tribal symbolism

Nature revolts against us

Giving pain and Thanatos

Who will live faking himself

Shall feel tortured 'til his own death

Rise up

And give 'em hell

Regressive forces

YOU MUST FIGHT BACK

We shall live

By our rules

At the service

OF NOTHING BUT OURSELVES

Arbitrary

Without logic

A denial

Of our nature

ARBITRARY

Worn-out explanation

ARBITRARY

Social alienation

DOGMATIC

Ancestral conventions

DOGMATIC

Social constrictions

Nature revolts against us

Giving pain and Thanatos

Who will live faking himself

Shall feel tortured 'til his own death

Idiocy

Bigotry

All this shit

CRIPPLES SOCIETY

Human demands

Left behind

In the name

OF MEANINGLESS VALUES

Frustrating

Limitative

Self-inflicted

OBSTRUCTION OF PROGRESS

The old values

Are still alive

Crush that shit

BE PROUD OF BEING ANIMAL
