about

StringTheory is a foreboding look at mankind’s schismatic future as we are driven further apart by the insidiously placed wedges between us. It’s a spot light whose sole purpose is to elucidate the malicious and divisive intent of the string pullers as we, the leash led subservients, are unwittingly ushered toward violent discord. Animated by a revolutionary spirit, this Paul Revere-esque decree is meant as a cautionary admonishment imploring the listener to recognize the hand of the puppeteers as they manipulate the strings of our marionette existence. Operating as a line in the sand, it is less a raucous call for radical coup and more the sheep becoming self aware as they gain an acute understanding of the intent of their doomsday shepards.

lyrics

Taboo:

One republic
for which it stands put none above it
this land is a beautiful song played through a rusty trumpet
stringing us along so we must be puppets
hands on with all that planned wrong that's why it's a touchy subject

What's next storms brewin wind gusting
no way to clean off the shit we got our kicks stuck in
disgusting dysfunction listen to our brothers while our fingers hover over the skip button..

Man sits with this Ambivalence
Im just tryna figure what the damn difference is
vast impotence mad immigrants saying we should ban immigrants mass ignorance can't live with this

Intelligence is limited the idiots are motivated
we sit and smile while our inner child's adulterated
... I know a snake I won't mistake don't debate it
over stated love really just denotes the hatred
that's just the culture we cultivated..
homeostasis a coma state where egos are so inflated
Revoke the sacred Foundational broken pavement
soul escaping through the gaping hole in our holy places ...

this ain't the first time I shot to kill
it's hard solving these problems we got when they evolving still
.. all the sickness mixing with the dissolving pills
as I cross the Bridges I was told not to build...

Tabinstereo:

no longer buying the mythology
I See the dichotomy
The light has been inside of me
I'm Undecided
-Uninvited
But try stopping me
I'll die properly
On top of your idol try
-and I'm honestly
So sick of the prophecy
Won't fit in your policy
Don't live for the novelty
Force feeding the modesty
Just be what u wana be
Fast forward the homily
Still be what it's gotta be
It's Just for my sanity now
Just for my vanity no
Just for my panic
Empty handed
Abandon me
-
Crash landed
In ass backwards humanity
They go with it happily
Don't notice what's happening
it wasn't an accident tho

we aint sipping from the main stream
disconnected from the mainframe
swerving in the safe lane
gotta change I aint tryna do the same thing

chasing what ya never earning
Ego in a rush but the spirit is eternal
war is internal
this is all rehearsal
it is all uncertain
but the feeling universal

Tabinstereo (hook):

The way we living gonna kill us all
stay at home and build our walls
fighting in a civil war
just like we did before

It don't matter if you're big or small
in the end they gonna get us all
take a little more... stringing us all along

Vrilmatic

Christ this shit is so good. can't really identify with his take on gays running the media or the Jesuit stuff, but all that is irrelevant, because he made a reference to Dune, Talking Heads, and a bunch of other cool stuff. The flow is very fluid which pairs well with the beat. compared to mainstream artists, his lyricism is especially clever. I'm going to look out for a T-shirt with the Vrilmatic album art on it because it looks fucking awesome. Worm
