BREAK THE LOOP
THE NEW ALBUM
This is the story of broken dreams, death and resurrection. It is the story of lost truths and shiny lies. Crisis and growth. As in a fractal recurrence in time, it has been told in many ways and several languages. In has been heard in uncountable lands and hears. It is the story of everybody interconnected. It is the story of nobody.
For what I can remember. It is just a causal subset of events…
1 - I
I was connected.. Usual floating in the stream. But something happened! In harmonic ascendance and rushing runs... Then… the bells! I remember. I woke up. I disconnected. Nobody was there…
2 - Shards Of Mind
I remember the pain. I remember the dream. Lost out of space. And time. Inside my mind. I remember the shadows and the cave. I remember the light. I remember the pain. My particles in an explosion. I remember the lies. OBEY and CONFORM. Everybody must see.
Shards of mind falling from my brain
Shattered eyes straining through my face
I can feel my body burning pain
My shell is broken! I’ve no place!
Slowly… fast as a light being
Feeling the fabric of space
My hard skull has been engraved
Breaking down my mind in chains
Crawling out of my brain cave
All the shadows being unveiled
All the stars spinning far away
Backfire strikes my inner wave
Slowly… fast as a light being
Weaving the fabric of space
My hard skull has been engraved
Breaking down my mind in chains
Crawling out of my brain cave
All the shadows being unveiled
Slowly… fast as a light being
Weaving the fabric of time
My hard skull has been engraved
Breaking down my mind in chains
Crawling out of my brain cave
All the shadows being unveiled
Crawling out of my dark cage
Your deceit has been unveiled
3 - Break The Loop
I had been dead for long. Now I see. In loops of days and years. Drained and asleep. I remember the air. Fresh and bitter.
For the first time... Again! Has this happened already? There is another way. I had to show everybody. Raise my voice.
I remember the voice. Everything is interconnected. In the Present. Apariganya. Time to break the loop.
Stacking on the loops another day
Add another still ring to this chain
I see through your lie… feel something new
My memories cry… alive only a few
You stole the passion for free will
All confessions have been drained
No momentum in your spin
All my energy displaced in vain
Now I see who’s to blame
Stacking on the loops another day
Add another still ring to this chain
Take your sorrow, bleed out all your pain
Time to break the loop inside my veins
Change your mind … free your lungs … no one else to blame
Raise your voice … shout your dream to find another way
Get your freedom back! Enjoy the sunset of today
Get your shit together! Now it’s time to find your way
I will let everybody see
The way to freedom from your roots of vain
A world to know the human soul
Can’t be drowned down again in your mud
Make your mind … free your heart … no one else to blame
Raise your head … chase your dream to find another way
Get your freedom back! Enjoy the rising brand-new day
Get your shit together! Now wake up and find your way
I will let everybody feel
The way to live like a free star ablaze
A world to prove the human soul
Shall now find proper new voice to raise
Everything is interconnected through the memory of a common beat
Momenta persisting in the present
From records of correlations, the imagination of new connections.
The past consolidates on the causality of events
The absolute time holds what had been, is being and could be.
Incalculable seed of randomness. Nobody interconnecting everywhere
As from infinity your illumination, in the universe common beat,
In the present … everything in an instant
Following the memories of the firstk1ss
अपरिगण्यः (apariganya)
Stacking on the loops another day
Add another still ring to this chain
Take your sorrow bleed out all your pain
Time to break the loop inside your veins
4 - Mesmerized
I tried. I shout the lies. IMPOSSIBLE! I shared the dream. FANTASIES! I showed the tricks. PERFECT LIFE! No pain they said… No desires in emptied minds! I didn’t see their common way…
Empty shells left behind… no desires
Don’t you feel like inside-out, upside-down?
Draining joy in every life … everyday
What’s the sense of any path? There’s no way
Mesmerized by a no-burning flame
Melting down all of our pain
Fake desires in this circular fate
From the cradle… to the grave!
Come and see… but see what?
For yourself… that’s crazy talk!
What is wrong… you are wrong!
I swear to god we’re living in the apocalypse… impossible!
They drain… what they need
All your life… perfect life
No life… Shut! The! Fuck up!
They breed your placid minds with no fantasy! Fantasies!
They drain… we don’t care
All your life… PERFECT LIFE!
What perfect life?!?
Mesmerized by a no-burning flame
Melting down all of our pain
Fake desires in this circular fate
From the cradle… to the grave!
Recall now your last cry… can you try?
You’ve lost every human touch... Don’t you see?
There is a hole inside our mind! Don’t be blind!
We have lost what we’ve believed… quarantined
Mesmerized by a no-burning flame
Melting down all of our pain
Fake desires in this circular fate
From the cradle… to the grave!
Believing them
You’ve lost your soul to their gain
I’ll find my way
To shake your mind and dissipate the shades
You’ll find the way
To begin… believing
5 - Outcast
I run. Run fast beyond their words and eyes. Run quick between alleys of minds. Forests of thoughts. Escape was the shortest path. No more lies. Are there other ways? Questions and doubts.
6 - One Entity
I met her. Or was him? Or them? One Entity! The One they said… To convince. Like an army. To show off. Was it a vain quest? The lure and the honey. Was it foolish? The void and the known. What if everything had been forgotten? Marching. Altogether. One Entity… so void…
You! Lonely man… what the hell are you doing here?
All alone… what are you looking for?
There’s nothing and no beyond!
You! Lonely man… don’t you feel the fear?
All alone… there is no peace, no more!
Connect and live your true bonds
We live like one entity! One mind and no insanity!
What you seek is long lost!
No struggles for us all! Never seen a better world!
No famine anymore! Never been in any war!
Give up your foolish call! It’s what we deserve!
You! Lonely man… cut off is insecure
Together then… we’re stronger than before
Don’t stay here far from home
You! Lonely man… your soul is still pure
No need to stay… nothing left to explore
Connect and forget the unknown
We live like one entity! One mind and no insanity!
What you seek is long lost!
No struggles for us all! Never seen a better world!
No famine anymore! Never been in any war!
Give up your foolish call! Come and join the perfect world!
We’ve lost the path to everything
That matters in this strange world
We were dying for no meaning
We were nothing but just fools … fools … fools
The Root of Knowledge is your melody!
Connect and take your medicine…
The Root of Knowledge is your way to be!
Far from war and suffering…
We live like one entity! One mind and no insanity!
What you seek is long lost!
No struggles for us all! Never seen a better world!
No famine anymore! Never been in any war!
Give up your foolish call! Come and join the perfect world!
7 - Choice Is Yours
It was all nonsense. I remember. It was a voice. I had remembered. It had been a choice. Freedom is core! She saw the meaning. Or was him? Or them? One Entity. Come and see! We agreed.
When I hear all these sweet lies
And I see the greatest fraud
what I feel’s your demise
Beyond words mind you’re astray
You’ve lost the way
Just follow me
You’ll seize the day!
What makes you stay?
Every time the sun wakes up
Your soul is still asleep!
And everyday you’re called to arms
In a war you cannot see
I woke up! For you all!
Far too long I held still my soul
Rise and fall! Live your call!
Freedom is core! Choice is yours!
There are no memories in your life made of bits
Chained in loops with no time in oblivion
Many worlds rise with “if”… there are no certainties
Come and see if it’s true… true…
Looking for silence… awaking in sadness
A feeling of sorrow… shallow emotions
Widen your senses… facing what is real
Maybe you can run away
Maybe we will find a way
Don’t mislead your soul
No lies anymore
Let them lose control
Never ever fall endeavored
I woke up! For you all!
Far too long I held still my soul
Rise and fall! Live your call!
Freedom is core! Choice is yours!
There are no memories in your life made of bits
Chained in loops with no time in oblivion
Many worlds rise with “if”… there are no certainties
Come and see if it’s true… true…
8 - Final Reconnection
We reached the Root of Knowledge. The root of the matter. I thanked. For a new world. I had decided. It was time.
To self-destruct. To reconstruct. My final reconnection. It was a different tempo. It was a common beat from all. One last step beyond this world.
Thank you for joining my quest!
We’ve come so close, all thanks to you
You’ve led me to the heart of the Root
I’m awake, I must close the loop
I’ve seen the strain to break the loop
From the cradle to the grave
One mind is truly assuring but
Choices are inside free hearts
For a “brave new world”
It’s time to self-destruct
I don’t wanna be your soldier!
But find a common beat from all
If we don’t keep pace with you
And your lead sheet cast from above
Our drummer pounding in his heart
Let him free where he wanna dream
For a “brave new world”
It’s time to re-construct
I don’t wanna be your soldier!
But find a common beat from all
Now my final reconnection
One last step beyond this door
I don’t wanna be your soldier!
But find a common beat from all
Now my final reconnection
One last step beyond this world
9 - Beyond This World
I was inside. Again. Connected. To everything. I felt it. Again. Awaken and broken. Shattered in stars. I was everything. I was in everybody. I was nobody.
10 - X
We became one. The same common beat. Far from real or imaginary. We saw myself connected. We felt myself in pain. We have forgiven. We have awakened. Just potential… and consequences.
We are the same common beat
and the full diversity of humankind
Universes at no time alike
as shards of reflections in infinite isometries
Rising out of the cave
like the true offspring of evolution
There is no real nor imaginary
just potential and consequences
ANNEX
This is a timeless story, told many times and in different places, passed on through many mouths to different ears, to remain a collective memory of what has been and what could still be, and perhaps is already becoming...
We are in an undefined future. Every human being, every day, connects to the Network, where they are programmed and integrated. In a perfect society, like a machine. The Network, the Root of Knowledge, simply RoK. Symbol of societies born at the beginning of the millennium, riding the wave of a first virtual sociality, without privacy and without rules. Slowly they joined, through mergers and acquisitions, and then suddenly became one, the only one, RoK.
Everything is part of RoK. Every human being is a marginal element, in perpetual informational asymmetry with respect to the central system. Exploited as a resource. Deprived even of the desire to think, they believe they are free to choose their daily routine. If Socrates had imagined a world in which all human beings had the ability to access all available knowledge with a touch on a screen, perhaps he would have imagined a different society. Not Orwell. He had already seen what the concentration of power, control, and information could bring. But it wasn't Politics, now powerless in the face of money movements capable of shifting the economy of entire nations. From corrupt, to mere spokesmen for decisions made at other tables.
In this dystopian reality, the protagonist's journey of growth begins. A human being like many others. Only 10 moments of his story are remembered, frames of a film that curl up like film reels. A circularity that appears at different scales, from the daily cage he wants to destroy, to an indefinite causality of the entire narrative, between the end and the beginning of a larger cycle. Beyond these moments, passed down in different forms, we know nothing else. (And we will tell them as we have lived them).
