Lyrics
We’ve got a choice but still we’d rather choose to suffer
‘Cause there’s no escape once the fuse is lit
Locked in this pantheon
Swimming with concrete shoes
The reaper comes to take the best of you
Can you see the writing on the wall?
Impermanence
There is a subtle space that we’ll all discover
‘Cause there is a seat reserved for the spirit
Passing through one by one
Riding a torpedo
We wash away into the overflow
Can you see the writing on the wall?
We’re barricaded
‘Cause nobody wants to meet their maker
The seeds are sewn then we die alone, we die alone
Eviscerated
We’re all players in a symphony
That fights against impermanence
Again and again and again
Do you really wanna live forever?
We are so lost staring into all the colour
It hurts but reality is counterfeit
We came from the beyond
Living a cameo
One final breath and then we split in two
Can you see the writing on the wall?
Even the doomed refuse
We were born to lose
Do you really wanna live forever?
‘Cause those afraid to die will never truly live
They’ll never truly live

This song refers to the Buddhist term - impermanence. When he screams ‘again, and again, and again’, I believe he talking about souls reincarnating ‘locked in this pantheon’. When Buddha reached enlightenment, he realised that there is no core to the self, but that we are all nodes in the network of consciousness, from the same source of energy. “ we’re all players in a symphony”.

"Those afraid to die will never truly live" Relevant message for the present day.

[@nicolemagarinosbarraganes]

It's complicated cause everybody is afraid of death after all. It's the fear of the unknown. Art in itself is an attempt to reach inmortality and to cross the borders of death, time and space. As I said, our true fear is to face what we don't know and, obviously, to dissapear forever without a single trace of our existence, which is just what is going to happen after the universe's collapse. We need to remember that we are advanced apes doomed by the weight of our consciouness and, at the same time, by our ignorance. Besides, we cannot blame people for being afraid of something natural like death.

[@artemis8368]

@@nicolemagarinosbarraganes not everyone is afraid of death, including me, what are you on

[@nicolemagarinosbarraganes]

@@artemis8368 First of all, I'm not on anything: I'm just saying what I think about humanity and its relationship with death. For what I have read throughout my life, I can tell you that thousands of great human minds (poets, writers, philosophers, etc) have thought deeply about this topic and they have comed to the same conclusion: death is terryfing cause it is the limit of our knowledge. If you are not afraid of death, or either you don't have a minimum of conscience or you are a superhuman (a.k.a. god, then inmortal). Prove me wrong: are you afraid of anything or do you have any phobias (spiders, darkness, flying, whatever)? That will be connected to death in the end. The ancient topic of "carpe diem", remember to live the present moment (because death is waiting for you in the end) is just an example of what I'm saying. And if there is a reason for us to appreciate so much this crazy and astounding life, is just because death is always there at our side waiting for us and dissapearence is the ultimate fear (because, you know there's no heaven, no hell, just dust after we die).

[@artemis8368]

@@nicolemagarinosbarraganes we have a good idea what death is like since there was a time when we didn't exist. It's only reasonable that once the brain rot, all the things that make you yourself will no longer exist (aka your memories, your desires, your consciousness). As someone (who i dont recall their name) said: Death will feel to us the same deep sleep does. Not existing isn't all that terrifying to me. Of course as long as i m alive, i can be scared of pain that i may experience in my final moments, but that's irrelevant to death itself. If you mean everyone is scared of death, in a poetic, mysterious way, and the fact that "you will never truly truly know", then fair enough i guess. Death and what "happens after" seem pretty straightforward though, especially nowadays that we know so much more about the brain.
