lyrics

Obsolescence (feat. Aimee Jacob Oliver)

If rational modernity is measurable eternity;
And progression, technology, science, teleology;
If quantity is quality, and quality formality;
And optimum efficiency is digital proficiency;

Could you then, I beg you, please,
Calculate just what it is
Why I feel so ill at ease?

I feel like unplanned obsolescence
In a place that’s turning grey.
When life has taught its lessons,
Was I here? Was I away?
Did I miss out on the quintessence?
Has my way led me astray?
I hear you talking,
But I don’t get what you say...

If civilized modernity is capital in eternity,
And liberal democracy mere corporate plutocracy;
If all is buying, selling, hoarding, masturbating, waterboarding;
And my responsibility stockpiling futility;

Could you then, I beg you please,
Advertise just what it is
That I need to buy to buy me peace?

I feel like unplanned obsolescence
In a place that’s turning grey.
Oh when life has taught its lessons,
Was I here? Was I away?
Did I miss out on the quintessence?
Has my way led me astray?
I hear you talking,
But I don’t get what you say...
