lyrics
You’re told that your life has no limits, a liberal and liberated being. Free market, free speech, free life. Limits of our freedom stops where their interests are threatened
Always searching for an escape. What they call free trade and liberty, I call it attempted murder and climate of impunity.
Leaders are all dressed in the uniforms of normality. Fanning the flame of brutality.
The deadly dance of harmonization will burn our cultural diversity to the ground.
They build our beliefs, maintaining a dark veil
Limits of our world are the limits of our own fear
Their words eat the world. Hell makes the connection
We are the profane choked, strangled by their esotericism
Born with no rights, suffocating all our life
There is more than meets the eye
Find a cure, we’ll burn by their lies
Our blood is contaminated
We're born equal and free, bowed down and on our knees
I will never be part of it
They will not obtain my silent, obedient consent
EN: Repeating again and again that people needs a political structure (vertical or top-down) to live in a society is part of slow process of mental conditioning. We confine ourselves in thoughts such as “I’m not capable”, “it’s too complex”, “There is no alternative”, and the notion that “man is a wolf to man” justifying the need for leaders to control and protect us. We are convincing ourselves that we are nothing but free. And what we believe can become the truth, not only for ourselves but also for others.
"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum" Noam Chomsky, The Common Good (1998)
Alternatives exist. They’re out of this spectrum but they are demonized because ruled “non-compliant”; so as to have us remain in a security bubble “for our own good". And this is the same pathetic story with the economic system in which we all live.
“These [globalist and market-centric discourses] continue to naturalize globalization and ‘the markets’ as out there, all-determining and irresistible forces, while equating neoliberalism with a market-assisted process of state withdrawal. The two discourses are, needless to say, very closely entwined, since a defining feature of neoliberalism is its necessitarian, there-is-no-alternative character and its invocation of a ‘politics of inevitability’ based on a deference to (global) economic forces” Jamie Peck. “Geography and public policy: Constructions of neoliberalism” (2004).
It’s easy to lie and wait, it is what’s expected of us: distancing ourselves from complex topics, conforming to the status quo, legitimize their power; while we peacefully wait for our last breath.

FR: Répéter continuellement que la population a besoin d’une structure politique (qu’elle soit verticale ou descendante) pour vivre en société fait partie d’un long processus de conditionnement mental. On se cantonne dans des phrases telles que “je n’y arriverai pas”, « c’est trop compliqué », « il n’y a pas d’autre alternative » ; et dans cette idée que « l’Homme est un loup pour l’Homme », justifiant de fait le besoin de meneurs pour nous protéger et nous contrôler. Nous nous convainquons nous-mêmes que nous ne sommes rien, si ce n’est libre. Et c’en quoi nous croyons peut devenir une vérité, non seulement pour nous-mêmes, mais aussi pour les autres.
« Le meilleur moyen de garder un peuple passif et obéissant est de limiter le spectre des pensées acceptables et de tolérer des débats très vifs à l’intérieur de ce spectre. » Noam Chomsky (1998), Le Bien Commun.
Les alternatives existent. Elles sont en dehors de ce spectre, mais sont diabolisées car jugées “non-conformes”, afin que nous restions cloisonnés dans une bulle sécuritaire « pour notre propre bien ». La même chose se produit tristement avec notre système économique.
« Ces discours (mondialistes et centrés sur le marché) continuent de faire accepter la mondialisation et « les marchés » comme étant des forces présentes, déterminantes et irrésistibles ; tout en faisant passer le néolibéralisme pour un processus de désengagement de l’Etat assisté par les marchés. Il est inutile de préciser que les deux discours sont étroitement liés, étant donné qu’une des caractéristiques déterminantes du néolibéralisme est son nécessitarisme fataliste et son invocation d’une « politique d’inévitabilité » basée sur une soumission à des forces économiques (mondiales) » Jamie Peck (2004). “Geography and public policy: Constructions of neoliberalism”.
Il est facile d’adopter une position passive, c’est ce qu’on attend de nous : une distance vis-à-vis des problématiques complexes, un conformisme envers le statu-quo, et une légitimation des pouvoirs en place ; tout cela dans l’attente paisible de notre dernier souffle.
It's a departure from their previous work, with many songs actually "slower" than earlier records, but still bringing the same energy and feeling. le monsieur
A friend with a reliably fine musical taste posted this album on FB and I wasn't disappointed. Love the guitar sound and the passionate vocals (melodic enough to not pass as screamo or whatever). Punk rock spirit yet with a lot of dynamics (definitely a yes to the Dischord reference) and compact songs that won't leave your head for a long time. Many many
great tunes on here but for the moment USMA and Lay Low have to be my favorites! Great band, very happy to have found them! perpendikel
