The Bullet That Couldn't Slow Down.

about

this was a song that I wrote spur of the moment and how I felt about the Justin Carmical suicide, some might recognize him as a Japanese import game critic known as "Jew Wario". it had been the first time a death really affected in me in a negative way.

this was back a few years ago, but the age of the internet is very fast and something like the death of a measly youtube critic spoke out to me about the inevitability of death, and about the futilely of the internet and our lives in general.

I can guarantee that no one is going to remember this man 10 years from now as a great critic, not unless someone keeps it alive that is. but to hold a candle until the end of time is impossible, its almost asinine. eventually everyone will be forgotten, and there is simply nothing anyone can do about it.

this track was also before I knew what limiters were. as well as clipping.

2021 Edit: this was made before Justin Carmical came out as a groomer. wow.

lyrics

A bullet form the back of the gun reaches heaven, through the eyes of our "John" and our

"protagonist"

kills himself in an empty way.

whats left for me to say?

everyone went about their daily lives, fetching the things that they all hold tight.

never things that they never feel at all.

no one really cared at all

no one really felt anything

a society of robots and people with bags on our heads.

and now we're lost

the people trudging over.

and though the people...

the lives of the yonder
the lives of the others we never...

did he feel pain?
did he have a life that we could compare to?

did he realize that he was part of system of people ready to love him and die?
