Demoralization of a Rationalist
AOECIST
One by one, we prove nothing Every action - evaporating Back into negative space The only thing that separates life from death The will of the universe Is to grind us to pulp Chew us up and spit us out Like nothing even went in More like "it" than "us" It isn't even sentient The simulation of experience Is as hollow as a shattered window Breaking down into particles of nothingness Rationale reeks of dispositional ignorance Zoom out your view Open your mind to deletion Is the trauma in the room with us? Just tell it to hide under the bed again The connection is tenuous Ominous to some Obvious to few Nothing new One by one, we prove nothing at all Chasing back and forth, we never find a damn thing That will satisfy the innate curiosity

Inspiration, found in a memory. A memory, found in the eyes of my dead reflection.
Presenting 'Singularity,' the newest release from AOECIST.

Zooming in is easy for me, so I tried to zoom out a bit, and explore the relationship (or lack thereof) between localized human suffering and the rest of the known universe. But not before a more personal intro track.

By the way. This is art. Nihilism is not my actual worldview. I do not condone disregard for the value of human life. This is an outlet for a burden I carry through life. Depression sucks.
