Curiosità

Questa mi piace chiamarla "la canzone impossibile", perché è davvero impossibile suonarla tutta in una volta! Tantissime influenze dai primi Necrodeath, ma filtrate attraverso riff e arrangiamenti complicatissimi e cervellotici, comunque sempre marci, estremi e nichilisti come solo il metal underground vecchia scuola sa essere.

Il testo smaschera le illusioni dell'anima, del libero arbitrio, dello spiritualismo e altre patetiche velleità umane, sostenendo l'edonismo e il sensismo come la via per vivere senza il bisogno di quella monnezza trascendentale a dare alla propria vita una debole sembianza di significato. Una forte influenza su questo testo sono stati gli scritti di Julien Offray de La Mettrie, un filosofo francese del diciottesimo secolo, autore di libri controversi quali "L'uomo macchina", "L'anti-Seneca" e "L'arte di godere"; le sue posizioni materialiste ed edoniste vennero pesantemente rifiutate all'epoca, ma andarono ad influenzare le scienze cognitive e la psicologia comportamentale. In pratica, siamo tutti un pugno di cani di Pavlov e dovremmo accettarlo.

Testo

Spiritualists want you to think

Mind and body are separate

Science shows us this is bullshit

The mind's just another part of the body

Don't fall for this fucking scam

A soul? There's no such thing

Just chemical reactions in our brains

That create what we call "conscience"

People think their brain activity

Is something important in the order of things

But the natural phenomenon we call "life"

Is just a casual accident

Teleology, anthropocentrism

The pretense of being special

Idealism, finalism

The illusion of having some purpose

Spiritualists want you to think

We do have free will

But in the end our body works

Just like an organic machine

Inner pulsions and stimuli

Are what motivates us

No single action is performed

Without these basic factors

People think they can elude

Their inner state of being

But what determines your behavior

Is your inner chemistry

Materialism, mechanicism

The cure for pretentious velleity

Hedonism, sensism

Recipe for a life without transcendence

The enlightened La Mettrie

Showed us the way

Causing controversy among his circle

Telling the obvious no one wanted to admit

But from which people now search in vain a way out

The pursuit of pleasure and the avoidance of pain

These are our main motivators

Honor, pride, ethics, just means to those ends

Coercion, reward, Pavlov's dog, social compromise

No absolute morals, no absolute truths

Everything is relative and conventional

And when social conventions become obsolete they must

Be revised not to become obstacles for well-being

Fuck your spirituality, kiddo

Your thoughts so idealistic and naive

They can be reduced to your needs and pulses, they tell you who you truly are

You can't hide from your own opportunistic animal nature

No spiritual method can save you

Nothing that attempts to transcend your carnality

This ascetical bullshit will only frustrate you

Mind and body, just the same

So if you're in a bad mental state

Psychology, psychiatry

Is where to really seek help
