about

Phillip K. Dick is one of my favorite authors. And "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?" is one of my favorite books. The book takes place in a dystopian future where man has perfected the creation of synthetic humans with a limited life span. Replace the androids with main stream music, and you have (in my opinion) the current state of popular music. Mindless music on the end of a short leash. Music that we feel we need. I am a fan of music first and foremost. I search far and wide for music that will inspire me. But it saddens me when I get the feeling that the music industry is just a conveyor belt for robotic music. Are we really ever gonna be safe from this? Is it all a lie? Is it even real? And does it really matter?

lyrics

I've been free since twenty four/The reason that I do this for/Alive with instrumentals/Accidentally experimental/Monumentally display the fundamental knowledge that the glory never offers/We're the story and the authors/But don't forget to move units/Ruins reek of positivity/Leaving nothing/Believing that the keys were being tossed to me/I'm lost at sea conceiving every beast and every burden/Hurting the beating hearts of every piece and every verdict/They got no soul but there ain't no telling them/They bottle up they product and we'll sell em better medicine/They dropping once we cut em/Run amuck/Confront the son of of gun/The son of a man/Rampant with the thought of em/I bought a bought million records/I reckoned they'd be better/I systematically inspected every single letter/But never would I find a valid source for me to set it down/I got it now/the same sound I never found
I live in a lie/But the futures in my hands/Am I gonna be safe/From everything everywhere/I believe I will/Don't you have the mind state that someday you're gonna be safe?
Roughing the rest of my vision isn't religion is it/Minute by minute I begin to live within it/Maybe i was setting limits on myself/But it might help if I was learning how/Because it hurts burning out/I heard it before/Give up move out move it its gone/The only difference is I'm bringing it around me/It's honesty/It's all we ever needed if we wanna be safe/So basically Laissez Faire that we make/But it radiates like chemo/We don't need another c-note/Let the mother fucker bankrupt/We hang from the ranks of the majesty/Glad to be independent ran/My family surrounding everything that made the insanity much easier to bear/They see me I don't care/What would Hemingway accomplish if beliefs weren't there/Everywhere we turn we murder personal affairs/It's terminal and permanent/Confirm that you are scared of it… (I'm not in the business, I am the business)
