I only have to open facebook to know the danger of echo chambers.
Facebook and platforms like it show us more of what the algorithms calculate we want to see -keeping our attention so they can sell it to the highest bidder- and, in doing so, they deny us the opportunity to see that which is 'other' to what we already know. They deny us the opportunity to learn.
This song comes from a deep desire to break open the archaic dogmas, dangerous limitations, self-aggrandisement and overall bullshit that comes from creating echo chambers in our minds and in the world we share with so many beings.
I'd love to hear your thoughts, this is a song from my upcoming album and I've been feeling so down and broken that I'm struggling to believe in the value of this music right now. But that's another story...
For now, here are the lyrics, and may this bring you what you need this day:
CHORUS:
Try, try to see my point of view
Echoes of another you
Saving up your indiscretions
I've seen the wild untameable
More than less unshakeable
Shaper who has named me shameless
V1
Oh leave me be I'm tempted
Every rule I bend it
Shake the weight, break the hate
With everything that I am made of
CHORUS
V2
I'm looking for a friend to get me out of my head
This chamber of reflections is just
Paved with all my good intentions
CHORUS
Bridge
So if you are less stressed
Let us put this to the test
For who is love when loving not
Those who have not loving got?
CHORUS
END
Thanks for listening, it means more than I can say!
