Lyrics:
You are haunted by the turmoil of your lifes
Walking circles
Crossing lines
And it is tearing up your souls, all this fury
Jumping hurdles
Just to abide
You are drowning in the sorrow of a billion opinions
Nobody can hear you
Nobody can hear you
This is psychosis
This is psychosis
This is a jigsaw blown apart
You are the ghosts of Utopia
You’re the conquered stars
The divided hearts
You are the ghosts of Utopia
You’re the miracle
Of America
Every time you learn, you don’t regret
All your hurting
All your debts
Because the wife and kids won’t help you to forget
The emergency
Of your secrets and your trash
You are drowning in the sorrow of a billion opinions
Nobody can hear you
Nobody can hear you
This is psychosis
This is psychosis
This is a jigsaw blown apart
You are the ghosts of Utopia
You’re the conquered stars
The divided hearts
You are the ghosts of Utopia
You’re the miracle
Of America

Beautiful song. Reminds me of a character from a book I read who is desperately trying to restore the old world order in a post-apocalypse so that she can fulfil the societal role she was raised for, even though said role is defunct in the post-apocalypse, was corrupt/damaging in the pre-apocalypse, and no longer fits her after everything she's been through.

[@raccoonttrash]

oh this is so cool

[@who2449]

you can't say that and not share the book's name, please!

[@n0brainjustvibes]

​@@who2449 ok uh. the awkward part is. I was kind of lying. This is one possible interpretation, but the narrative seems to agree with this character, so it's probably not the intended one. I kinda wrote it to vent about how her potential is not fulfilled. Also, it's a web serial, and it's a sequel to another really long web serial. But if you're still interested, the serial is Ward, by Wildbow. Sequel to Worm by the same guy (googling worm wildbow will get you the site). I thoroughly enjoyed Worm (it's a dark superhero/supervillain story with some great worldbuilding), so I'd recommend that wholeheartedly if you like the genre. Ward is more divisive, I neither loved nor hated it, but sometimes the themes and worldbuilding are incoherent. The author had less time to spend on it, and unfortunately it shows. Ward does have some diehard fans though, and I genuinely think this song fits the MC. So it's not without its high points.

its so upsetting that they removed the entire album from spotify, this is definitely my favourite song on it

[@iamx]

Thank you for your comment. We are working alongside our digital music distribution provider to resolve this issue, but unfortunately this is the unreliable nature of streaming services.

Just bought (again) the full album on iTunes because I couldn’t access anymore to one of my hard drive where it was stored. So, unhappy with this technical issue but very pleased to give my support again to X Corner!

how on earth did a band from england make a song that so perfectly captures what it's like to be a progressive american from the 2010s onward?
