      Edgy Bat Furry i noticed your profile pic is an avian crux. that’s totally fine with me. i see no problem with expressing what you love. however i slipped into a deep depression that was most likely unrelated around the same time i found rusty cage. worse, these two things mixed. i was soon not doing any class work and giving up on life altogether since rusty cage was the only thing I ever thought about anymore. i managed to find his cell number, his landline, his address, everything. one day, in one of the worst areas of california, i decided to leave my science competition to try to hop multiple buses till i miraculously made it to Florida, myself being A TEENAGE GIRL. i fell into such a deep and intoxicating depression mixed with some deep and intoxicating obsession, addiction, attraction, fascination, attachment- and on that day i tried to run away, i did not make it very far. all i did was set myself back immensely, and I’m still affected by it. life was hell for upwards of 7 months- i created loopholes for myself to watch rusty cage and i created shrines in my notebooks. i led little rebellions for myself that everyone at school tried to mostly keep away from. to this day i still attend therapy, i beat myself up so bad mentally if i so much as have any curiosity about this man or his music, I still get these songs stuck in my head, and i literally still use the nasa app as a browser because I’m so used to using the loophole even though i’m given the option not to. i admire your passion for this music, something that I certainly can’t experience myself anymore, but mostly what I’m trying to say is don’t end up like me.

    The lives of flies and then we die as quickly as we're born
    And nothing that we make is taken happiness or scorn
    If every hope abandons you there's peace in that you know
    That when you hit rock bottom, only one way left to go.
    I woke up when I hit the ground without a penny to my name
    I threw away the only love I got and hung my head in shame
    When I had nothing I remembered what I need.
    Bought no joy material, but fodder for my greed.
    Alright
    Now you got this everything you needed to survive.
    The addition is the mission that you be accessorized.
    But it's all a pack of lies, you know that it's true.
    If you don't commoditize tell me what would you do?
    Is everything you're wearing the extension of self?
    Every action that you're taking for progression of wealth?
    If you didn't have a color TV how would you see?
    If you didn't have a social life then who would you be?
    'Cuz everybody wants and thinks they need,
    weather internet, cell phone or blood you bleed.
    But only one of the three is gonna keep you alive.
    Tell me how far can you get without the car you drive?
    They tell us that we need it but really we don't.
    They say "buy what we sell" but you can tell them you won't.
    If you ever see the day that you're finally done,
    Well-could you give it all away if the time should ever come?
    The lives of flies and then we die as quickly as we're born
    And nothing that we make is taken happiness or scorn
    If every hope abandons you there's peace in that you know
    That when you hit rock bottom, only one way left to go.
    Now intrinsic as it seems, it's really just a fallacy.
    Everything is challenging. It's all about balances.
    'Cuz when you try to have a peace of mind,
    It ain't hard to find, I want a piece of what's mine.
    So f*** the time. Everything will come eventually.
    Essentially the only thing to hold us back is chemistry.
    'Cuz what we put in out bodies is what we put in our brains,
    And if the mix is imperfect then it can make you insane.
    So tell me who's the one to blame.
    Every man, woman, child if they think the same.
    Every docile action, distraction from our passion,
    Every session of depression if you lack satisfaction
    They tell us that we need it but really we don't.
    They say "buy what we sell" but you can tell them you won't.
    If you ever see the day that you're finally done,
    Well-could you give it all away if the time should ever come?
    The lives of flies and then we die as quickly as we're born
    And nothing that we make is taken happiness or scorn
    If every hope abandons you there's peace in that you know
    That when you hit rock bottom, there's just one way left to go.

    Fun Fact: The flies lifespan is only 28 days, which is practically a month, having one of smallest lifespan between all creatures.
    Time flies ahead of your life, the moment you exists the countdown begins, you begin to struggle with your existence trying to keep yourself alive as much as you can however we meet the same fate at the end: death. Life flows too fast that you almost don't have a grip.
    This music truly express how our life are short as a fly; Rusty Cage got alot of talent to show, bless you and keep sane.

(Also, keep in mind Rusty does all of these songs by himself. The music, the editing, the filming.... so in a way, he has more skill than alot of musicians today.)

    For me, this song represents the inpurity of people and their lives nowadays
    ( not saying im an exlusion or anything)
    Only the lives of flies kan be truly pure
    because they have little time to practice what they belieive in and their passions
    So they spend all their moments with absolute dedacation to their passion
    Humans however, dont
    (Every docile action, distraction from our passion)
    flies dont have time to lie, hurt and betray
    Human however, do
