    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 love you Darius, I'll miss you everyday for the rest of my life...

    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.

      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

      @ryanhill9707 3 года назад +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.
      If you are in your house right now because the tv told you to - then it's time to wake up.

      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

    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.

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.

    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.

      Liberating Reality Exactly the point is not the use of it, it's the obsessive overuse with all social media sucking us in to constantly worrying about checking our choice of technologies... It's beautiful as usual Maynard! Reminds me of "Bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drum." And only "simple minded people" are the ones that aren't viewing this the right way!

    Put the silicon obsession down... You are pretty
    Lyrics
    Dopamine, on dopamine, on 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 into each other, lift all higher
    Hey, how long? Oh
    Dopamine, on dopamine, on 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

      THERE IS FREEDOM AND HEALING IN THE NAME OF ⚡JESUS CHRIST⚡
      🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨
      "Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of ⚡JESUS CHRIST,⚡ every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that ⚡JESUS CHRIST IS LORD⚡to the glory of God the Father."
      Philippians 2:9-11, KJV
      🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨
      "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."
      Acts 4:12, KJV
      🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨
      "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man ⚡CHRIST, JESUS."⚡
      1 Timothy 2:5, KJV
      🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨
      The name ⚡JESUS⚡ is a Greek male name meaning “Saviour”.
      There is a great number of Jewish males who has the name Jesus, but what made ⚡JESUS CHRIST⚡ so special?
      Unlike us who got our names from family members, ⚡JESUS CHRIST⚡ got His name from HEAVEN delivered to His parents by angels. He really did what the meaning of His name is, He saved us.
      🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨
      By being faithful to the task given to Him, humbling Himself, even becoming obedient to the point of death and volunteering to die for the sins of many, God exalted ⚡JESUS CHRIST⚡by giving power to the name of ⚡JESUS CHRIST.⚡
      🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨
      Now we know a name that is above all other names given on earth. There is now no situation that is above the name of ⚡JESUS⚡CHRIST⚡No preacher, doctor, sangoma or demon’s name can be compared to the name of ⚡JESUS CHRIST,⚡for it is a strong tower where the saints run to. Whatever we face, our first option should always be to call upon the name of ⚡JESUS CHRIST,⚡ for through that name the foundations are shaken and demons tremble.
      🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨
      Diabetes is just another name, HIV is just a name, poverty is just a name, so is depression, loneliness, unemployment and all of those things keeping you captive.
      🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨
      The Bible teaches us that there is a name above all other names that we know. Whatever circumstances, trials or tribulations we are facing, they are just names which are all under one greater name - ⚡JESUS CHRIST.⚡
      So when you are feeling down and out and in need of direction, call upon the name of ⚡JESUS⚡CHRIST⚡ and He shall set you free.
      🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨
      For He is the way, the truth and the life. We now have the proxy of ⚡JESUS CHRIST⚡ and that is why when we pray, we pray in the name of ⚡JESUS CHRIST⚡ and then HEAVEN has to respond because the name of ⚡JESUS CHRIST⚡ is like an identification card, whenever we use it heaven will respond.
      🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨
      PLEASE DO NOT DELAY IN YOUR SALVATION..AND CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE ⚡LORD JESUS CHRIST⚡ TODAY.

    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.

They can actually help you explore nature more since I know I've found multiple side trails in the middle of nowhere using google maps that you'd never find on an actual paper map!

    Who would have known I would have got on a plane to play EDM concerts only to find out I moved close to were Maynard resides. Love it, Would love to ask the artist to do an upbeat remix to play to the EDM community. They need to shy away from substance.

    Some of us feel stronger than others, I understand him I committed suicide but I was found soon enough where they brought me back. I never forget the second before I died. My soul cried out so hard that I had thrown away, given up in this magnificent being that is I. Remorse would not be a strong enough word, I was extremely blessed to be brought back. Because when I committed suicide I remember jumping from one to another, like scenes where I was experiencing every nightmare everything I dispise, everything I had issues with and the aloneness in between was even more soul crushing, our spirit is stuck in our human form's nightmares and can't snap out of it. For eternity the hopelessness of my situation was so overbearing I believe I was deceased for 7 min. But when I came back it felt like an eternity. So every second in "hell" is like a 200 yrs. So what I learned from my experience was that the less things I hate and judge the smaller my hell will be. So if I love everything, my hell would be the same as my heaven.

      You were brought back for a reason. God heard your cry. He’s reaching out to you.
      Yes Heaven and Hell are real and our souls live on forever. Seek Him because in His love He pulled you out of hell. He let you see that it is real. He wants you with Him for eternity in Heaven when it’s your time to go, where there is no hopelessness, tears, sadness, mourning. Let Him into your life, because He came for me also out of nowhere and it’s been the most beautiful thing in my life, ever.

      Look at all the wealth that surrounds us. How is it possible that in the midst of this oasis you could not have a home? If a person, looking at the modern world, does not feel pain that you want to stifle, it means that there is something wrong with the person... maybe he's a sociopath.
      I haven't drank since 2018, and I didn't drink much before, but I doubt that your main problem is inside you. I would suggest that capitalism bears the brunt of the blame.
      We live in a world created by sociopaths for sociopaths, but by the hands of ordinary people. If you start to think about all sorts of things, which is usually what someone who might call himself a human being thinks about, it's bound to get painful. We're supposed to feel like shit. But sooner or later, people will tire of apathy, raise their heads, see that we are in the majority, and fight back against capitalism. That's just what all history tells us.

      Get this, True Story:
      Video/song reminded of my 8th grade summer...
      a friend and I were being loud & rambunctious at an outdoor concert/event at the local HS Football stadium...
      An old lady in the stands sternly told me to Shush!...
      So I semi-reclined on the Stadium steps --too cool to sit on the bleacher seats...
      But as I listened, the Light of the music & message caught my eye...
      I opened my hands and received the Flame...
      The next day as I awoke and looked out my bedroom window, the world was suddenly full of Color...
      It was the Light and Flame of Jesus --the Christ-- that removed the corneal scales...
      I had to tell others of such a Fire..."

This song is just so brilliantly crafted and PERFORMED!!! The quiet sections remind me of laying on my back in an open grassy field, staring at the blue sky and being content.
