about

«Autodigestion» begins with a forceful riff that dissolves into a slow lament, decrying our imprisonment in a system created by ourselves, destroying itself and only propped up as an end itself. It suggests a dystopia in which humans are reduced to their functions – exploited systematically, existing and being allowed to participate only in order to consume. Any attempt to break out falls due to the impossibility of finding a true life in the false one.

lyrics

We are trapped in the body of a snake
that is eating its own tail
we’ve been reduced to functions
mere designated tasks
by now we are but numbers
that need to numb themselves
we are part of what we hate
a self-destructive fate

Buy their houses
Buy their cars
Use their products
Fight their wars
Stay in line
Protect the core
Complicit victim
Pointless cause

The promised growth leads to perdition
a collapse is imminent
misbelief turned to obsession
we’ve been blinded by a lie
artificial life-support
collective sacrifice
the behemoth we’ve forged
in a state of autodigestion

Be entertained
Enslave the masses
Uphill battle
Against new classes
Break the circle
No longer passive
Cut all strings
No puppet masters

There is no right
within the wrong
There is no truth
within a lie
an errant framework
let’s good intentions die

We are trapped in the body of a snake
that is eating its own tail
we’ve been reduced to functions
mere designated tasks
artificial life-support
collective sacrifice
the behemoth we’ve forged
in a state of autodigestion
