Trivia

A rather pissed off thrashcore song, mocking all those lunatic people who believe in astrology and all those other crazy superstitions. Lyrics expose the psychological mechanisms underneath their beliefs.

Lyrics

Your house is full of tarots and symbols

To protect yourself from the evil eye

Follow the horoscope, read all the signs

It feels so comfortable to live in stereotypes

Don't break the mirror, don't stay under ladders

Beware of black cats: they'll bring you bad luck

Friday the thirteen, or maybe the seventeenth

The chosen day for any disaster

Let me find a name for y'all:

PARANOID SUPERSTITIOUS SCHIZOIDS

I cannot date you, you have a bad ascendant

And our signs are not compatible

The horoscope told me to look for an Aries

Possibly with an ascendant on Virgo

Just pick a card and you'll know your future

Destiny, love, money and fame

Because a fucking picture chosen at random

Can mean so much - "y'know man deep stuff"

Self-centered interpretation

Of stuff with no correlation

It's just a sign of your weakness

And your desperate need for control

Reality is so disappointing

So let's just turn on the absurd

Comfortable in your illusion

Of control and manipulation

Rational evidence of failure

Sometimes it is hard to handle

Any reasonable argument

Makes you feel impotent and blank

But who needs action

When you have voodoo?

You don't need evidence

'Cause you have faith

It is all true, man

It's really what happens

Cherry-picking, apophenia

Confirmation bias

Just accept reality and see things for what they are

A medallion's a medallion, a cat is a cat

A picture is a fucking picture, a star is a star

And how the fuck can all this affect us?

Astrology once said "stars influence us"

Astronomy now says "stars are light-years away"

Knowledge isn't static, methods do evolve

So take your pseudo-science, and shove it up your ass
