..it's a month ago that the fantastic experiment event concert, a gathering of new model army fans, invited by the band to sing together as a choir in a church, took place, and it is still vibrating in me.
when i got the new "a perfect circle" lp "elephant", which is by the way a powerful, grandioso wonderful work of music, i there found the song "disillusioned" and just immediately felt, that somhow it was connected to my experience at the night of 1000 voices, in a way that the song describes some ideas which just fit perfectly to NOTV. well, in my associative mind..
"Disillusioned"
(Dopamine, on dopamine...)
We have been overrun by our animal desire
Addicts of the immediate keep us obedient and unaware
Feeding this mutation, this Pavlovian despair
We've become disillusioned
So we run towards anything glimmering
Time to put the silicon obsession down
Take a look around, find a way in the silence
Lie supine away with your back to the ground
Dis- and re-connect to the resonance now
You were never an island
Unique voice among the many in this choir
Tuning into each other, lift all higher
(Dopamine, on dopamine...)
Willingly been re-wired by clever agents within
Looping our reflections, our obsessions draw us in
Fix and fixation, no sentience beyond
We've become disillusioned
So we dive like crows towards anything glittering
Time to put the silicon obsession down
Take a look around, find a way in the silence
Lie supine away with your back to the ground
Dis- and re-connect to the resonance now
You were never an island
Unique voice among the many in this choir
Tuning into each other, lift all higher I totally love and agree with the lyrics here, describing a state of the human mind condition in these modern times and then when the way out of it is described:
Time to put the silicon obsession down
Take a look around, find a way in the silencei just thought that is exactly what we did, what new model army organized for us (and them)
it could have been a slogan for the concerts
Dis- and re-connect to the resonance nowthis describes what happened with me
and
Unique voice among the many in this choirthis is how i feel now since...
i don't know if this makes sense for you readers, but i wanted to share an associative thought of mine.
here's the wonderful video to it:
