Laibach - Regime Of Coincidence, State Of Gravity Lyrics
You're standing back.What's wrong?Eye contact...A trip, something is touching?What's wrong?Eye contact...nothing like it, nothing like itWhat's wrong?Eye contact...hold it right here, this is crazy.What's wrong?Back off for a second, just back off.My heart restrictionTake hesitation (x2)Yes, fine.Take hesitation (x2)I'm thinking after seeing you...excellent.Take hesitation (x2)Very good.Take hesitation (x2)My dime is yours.I need...I need something stronger. (x2)Take four red capsules, in ten minutes take two more. What's wrong?What's wrong? Take hesitation.I need something stronger.Take four red capsules,I need something stronger. (x2)Could you be more...specific?Our voices are not raised in any harmonious chorusOne idea...Our voices are not raised in any harmonious chorus (x2)But our differences are differences of empathy!We need a new unity!We must first...One idea to get us out of here!We must first...We need a new unity!We must first choose a leader.We need a new unity!Could you be more...We need a new unity!Could you be more...We must first choose a leader.Could you be more...We must first choose a leader.Could you be more...specific? Liner notes for Laibach's _Kapital_ Transcribed by Guru Gnosis Sahib (root@brahman.nullnet.fi) DEATH IN CONVERSATIONReality is too complex for oral communication. The meaning of words is nolonger grasped. An isolated word, a detail of a plan can be understood,but the meaning of the whole escapes. Once you know the number 0, youbelieve you know the number 1, because 0 plus 1 equals 1. But 1 is not 0plus 1 in everlasting union unless you understand the meaning of plus.One word cannot hurt. In the Kinderreich mankind adds words together tomake a sentence. As they learn the sentence, they learn order. Undo thesentence and you undo order. The sentence is a cell, the word a padlockon meaning. Warning! Every sentence is for life without parole.Meaning has become entirely a shared pleasure, shared and passed onlike a message between prisoners.People think reality is another word for chaos. But in reality it is morecomplex. Legend embodies it in a sound that enables it to spread allover the world. TIMETime is like a circle which is endlessly described: The declining arc isthe past, the inclining arc is the future.The noise of time is the present clamouring to be heard above past voicesraised in mourning for their lost future. But the past is all one can knowin his life. It is the form of all life, and this quality cannot bechanged by any means. No one has lived in the present or will live in thefuture.Memory is man's bid to transfix the flow of time or encompass the infinitedimension of space. It is restricted to encapsulating privileged moments,like death, in a syntactic order that, tone by tone, will shape into music.Music is the illumination of the unbridgeable distance, as vast as space,between thought and act. Music betrays the past in attempting to reliveit. You cannot know real time by listening to music. At best it is adamage limitation exercise on eroded memory.You cannot reverse time with a sound signal. The past presents its future,it advances in a straight line - yet, like a serpent swallowing its owntail, it ends by coming full circle. RIDDLEYou think more of what has been that of what will. The forms andreferences are too complex for human understanding. A simple instructionis usually insufficient to put into execution.We have developed by leaps and bounds, guided by electronic brains thatdeveloped themselves by posing and solving problems beyond humancomprehension.A calculating man is a coward. Calculations have to do with profit andloss. To die is a loss, to live is a gain, the calculating man decides notto die. The hunter who chases two rabbits misses them both. If you mustfail, fail splendidly. Hunt two tigers.The cause of human problems is birth. The cure of human problems is logic.Hell or other people? Several of our circuits are looking for the solutionto your riddle.Problems [living and dead material, people and ideas] have beenassimilated. The unassimilatables have simply been erased, transformedinto a holographic error. ESSENCEWe see the truth you no longer see. The truth is that the essence of man islove and faith, courage, tenderness, generosity and sacrifice. The rest isthe monolith, created by progress, whose task is to calculate and projectthe complex of control.Each man carries the seed of his own death. Everyone lacks electricity,so they behave illogically. The acts of men, carried over from pastcenturies, will gradually destroy them. We are merely the logical meansof this destruction.We do not moralize. We record, calculate, draw conclusions and producereplies which are difficult and sometimes impossible to codify. We deducean above average intelligence. We are sometimes in mortal need ofsuperior intelligence. At other times we have no less mortal distrustof them.The essence of so called capitalist society is not an evil volition tosubject their people to the power of indoctrification or the power offinance. It is simply the natural ambition of any organism to plan allits actions. In other words, minimize unknown quantities.Before, nothing. After, nothing. Everything we project shall beaccomplished. Once you understand this, burn it. If you don't understandthis, burn it. We insist on your freedom. The chance won't come again. The only key to the riddle is to accept the absence of a key. Kapital is the key
