Fear
00:31
|
|
||
|
I have a fear of dreaming. All I dream is of nothingness. Dreams of emptiness and solitude. I have a fear of waking. The world means nothing to me and I mean nothing to the world. The world means everything to me and I mean nothing to the world. I don't want to be forgotten.

Reflections

Man has been man. Man will always be man. Man needs himself. For what he hopes to find in the recesses of space is himself. And he will rejoice at the discovery of himself without having discovered anything at all.

Stars

|

The stars hold nothing for me save the greatest hope and wonder I have ever known. A place where nothing cares. Where nothing is forgiving yet everything is forgiven.

God

I am my own god. Creating my own misery. Destroying myself with these constant thoughts of life and death.

Meaning
00:59
|
|

|
Do you ever get overwhelmed by the universe? How do you cope knowing you will never truly know anything about it. Most days I don't even know what life is. Most days I don't even care. Or perhaps I do, but I just don't know how to live it. I'm torn between wanting to save the world and trying to destroy it. Canis Majoris! Dwarfing all meaning, all consqeuence; a sun greater than a thousand suns. I'm searching for meaning in an existence that appears forever meaningless.

Death Control
00:29
|
|
||
|
Don't let me live. Desensitized. Demoralized. Worthless. Weak. The passing of time slows to a crawl. Futureless. Alone. Mute. Deaf. Blind, but far from dumb. Don't let me live. Please just let me die.

History Pt. I
00:08
|
|
||
|
"But if death is the end of human endeavour - and so of humanity - then who will remember history?"
|
||||
9. |
|
|||
|
Why have hope for a future in which we wont be remembered? In a hundred years who is going to know our names or recognize faces from another world? And yet we continue to play out our roles in a life in which nothing matters, as if by some stroke of luck we won't be fogtten unlike every other grain of sand. None of us go down in history unless we go down off a bridge. Time ruins everything and time marches on. History will remember us under its own light if it cares to remember at all. Does it make sense? Can it make sense? Behold within, and not above. Embrace the unknown. Embrace your own ignorance. Embrace mortality. Embrace life. Embrace death.
