      We as a species cannot survive on our own. As it stands, society turns its back on the most vulnerable. There's homelessness, wage slavery, tens of thousands are left to die because of lack of healthcare. All in the "greatest country to ever exist." The "richest" country. It's considered rich because of Wall Street and corporations.

      @@heavymetalhippie9217 I'd find it too frightening and heartbreaking to live in the US. It is so incredibly individualistic, there's a huge culture of self-sufficiency, total personal responsibility (we have some, but there's a lot about ourselves we're not responsible for), it is a very convenient ideology for the population to have from the point of view of big businesses and the ultra rich. Narcissism is rewarded and if something bad happens to you and you don't have a very supportive family, you're carrion. Not that collectivism is the answer, it can also be crap. It's just shockingly extreme over there, so many people in miserable living conditions and the tolerance of ultra rich people who openly cheat their way out of paying taxes in ways that normal people can't, to avoid giving back to the living, breathing system that allowed them to succeed. The pandemic makes people poorer, or homeless, and Bezos gets wealthier. It's like the population must passively watch these giant parasites suck the blood out of their country because they are protected by the State, so they might as well like it and try to become one of them

    Lyrics to this awesome song❤️
    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
    Hey, how long? Oh
    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

      Such depth, such art, such poetry
      Pictures and words with power
      The truth layed bare on the floor
      How did this happen
      Why couldn't everyone see
      The price of our desires
      The price of our participation
      We are guilty, all of us, if being wooed and distracted
      We never knew or misguided values could lead to this
      The Anthropocene
      We are at the ledge of an abyss
      Some you could even say 1 percent tighten there grip
      They know better than the masses what's coming. Theyve had the data for years
      They are even building on Mars and are going to put space stations in space
      The back up plan for the most guilty of us, and the few.
      With fires, floods, threats of financial calapse, and pandemic the rest of us begin to see
      That we have painted ourselves in the corner and the paint is lava. Biodiversity begins to unravel, the polar ice caps melt and shift,
      Whispers of an extinction first animals now man. Which is sad considering man took fate by the hand.

      In reality, I think he is just upset that people are more fixated on the future than the present. Enjoy the moment, atmosphere, ambience. Recordings are a mere shadow of the reality that people notoriously sacrifice, to satisfy a fax paus existence that relies on likes and followers, rather than real and exusive moments, experiences and emotions. I don't think he cares that people record because it costs him financially bust more so because it costs the recorder of that unrecoverable, and unpredictable moment in time... Your point is definitely humourous and bordering valid, but most definitely missing his point. Ps. He is trolling with the delayed Tool album. :D

      @ryanhill9707 Před 3 lety +67

      @@johnlancaster1592 Sorry for the delay, John. I'm no expert and you could just google it, but I'll give it a go. Plato has a theory called the "Divided Line." At the most basic level, it's about different levels of thought, from low to high, ranging from imagination/ opinion/ personal beliefs to, at the highest level, Reason. The Cave Allegory is how he conveys the Theory. In it, you can imagine people that have always lived in a cave. They are bound by shackles or something like a medieval stockade and have never seen the outside world, only images produced by people behind them. These people, controlling the prisoner's perceptions of the world, use a fire to create shadow puppets on the wall. Miraculously, one day, a person escapes and follows the sunlight to an exit and experiences the real world. The sunlight in the crack of the door is the giveaway in the video. Likewise, if I'm not mistaken, when the awakened person goes back to free the others, they are unconvinced and uninterested, mistakenly thinking that he is a crazy person and choose to go on believing their version of reality. In a time of misinformation, memes, trolls, bots, and the Right-Wing Echo Chamber in general, the Cave Allegory is foundational in our trying to understand the world around us. The main take away for me is this: "Why do I believe what I believe?" and "Did I come to these conclusions myself, rationally, or by people trying to control my thoughts?"

      I believe that the virus is real - just not exactly what has been reported.
      The bull shit tests not testing for anything but exosomes is real - and there was plenty of evidence around to prove it.
      Probably still is - just harder to find now.
      If you are one of the people who thinks the virus is real - I think you are right.
      If you don't agree with anything David Icke said but you believe in freedom of speech - then you are definitely on the right track
      f you think the test is bull shit - I think you are right.
      If you believe the vaccine has nanites hidden within it to utilise future 5g technology - I think you are right.
      If you think Bill Gates has a hidden agenda - I think you are right.
      If you have heard about Bill Gate's involvement in the company that produces the modelling for climate change and the spread of the corona virus (covid-19) - I think you may be on to something.
      If you also heard he has involvement in the company that makes the vaccine - I think you need to start paying attention.
      If you also came across the clip on YT (fucken censors suck) of Bill Gates mentioning that vaccines will reduce the worlds population - then I think maybe it's time to start taking this a little more seriously.
      If you are even slightly worried about what's going on - I am worried we are underestimating the possible future impact.

    As someone that suffers with depression this song resonates with me. "You were never an island." I'm a complete introvert with depression desperately searching for a quick high to kill the depression temporarily. "Dopamine on dopamine" the dopamine high wears off revealing a blacked out world so I dig deeper to find that next high while ignoring the colorful, natural, beauty of the world around me and the people in it. "Lift all higher" talking can truly help one escape the suffocating grasp of depression.
    This is my connection with the song. Everyone has their own opinion. Thank you APC for helping me do some reflecting. Cheers.

    @LiberatingReality Před 6 lety +337

    The song isn't criticizing technology or phone use in general, so you can all stop with the self-deprecating commentary about how we're all just ironic, tragic hypocrites for using these devices to view this. They're addressing obsessive, compulsory behavior and being a kind of slave to this pacifying, though ultimately unfulfilling kind of escapism that so many people unfortunately use these devices for. There's obviously plenty of potential to actually utilize them to network insightful content, hence a group of artists / musicians creating this and using this platform to share it with the world.

    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 in to 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 in to each other, lift all higher

    My younger brother committed suicide last weekend by overdosing on something. He was found with headphones on, presumably listening to something. This is his youtube account. He made a playlist containing 6 songs that was edited the day he passed. This is one of the 6 songs. With the method he used, he was dead after about 30 minutes, probably unconscious around 12 minutes. I like to think that it was peaceful for him with his music on.

    I cannot help but cry with this song and imagery at this moment. The facility is ever more becoming a blatant reality as everyone around me gets fed and conditioned by all of this media, pushing people away....dividing them, when we need to reject these narratives and actually work together, not against each other. The worst part is i feel powerless to stop this, and friends and family are ever more becoming enemies not only to each other, but also to me. I stand in the middle and watch our history be erased, art being destroyed/neutered, no such thing as a joke anymore unless it is the right joke and checks all boxes. A small voice against this cacophonous chorus that drowns out all meaning, and all intellectual recourse. I am saddened by this, on all sides.

    I don't know why but this song gets me emotional every single time i listen to it, even after 4 years. So moving and the video is amazing.

    Thank you so much. I’m literally in tears listening to this. Call me crazy. Call me an over zealous fan. But I love APC and Tool soooo much. I’ve been a fan ever since 1996 when I first heard Aenima. They have something intangible. Something beautiful something that NO OTHER BAND, I have ever heard, has been able to capture.
    The last APC album was FIFTEEN FUCKING YEARS AGO!!!!!!!!!!! Hearing this gives me chills.

      I know right. As soon as I heard this it put me right back to it! These guys and Tool/ Maynard are amazing.

    Damn, that moment she took those contacts out and all the colors come back hit me so hard with a tidal wave of emotion. Thank you 🙏

    Really relevant song nowadays. And probably will stay it for a long time...

    I like how freedom is apparently into the void anyway, and that, although void surrounds us, we face each other or face the void together. It's not about redemption, only intersubjectivity in the ineluctable void. We're asked not to face another distractive alternative to self-deception, but to face the nothing from which our distractions distract.

    Maynard, now I understand why you perfectly held back and timed the music videos to some of these songs 🫶🏽
