proclivity (australian band) - mania lyrics
we come out of the womb
with skewed cognition as a precondition
every decision an equation
between desire and inhibition
rewind the tape to day one
and would your life have played out any different?
it calls into question how to exercise judgment
degrees of free will, the concept of a subject
it’s easy assuming you’re ‘compos mentis’
a loose definition that’s suspect at best
i’m tempted to guess at my alleged еnemy’s intent
but i know i’m bettеr off to find out what they meant
or what elements may’ve made them that way
an antidote to the temper of the day
what a quaint idea, but it doesn’t work society wide
or so we might conclude from the clamour of the constant outcry
we’re still answering the biggest questions
it’s natural that we might fall either side
but the shapes assume so many dimensions
it’s dependent on where you draw the lines…
lucky you’re a perfect arbiter of wrong and right
base strategies on fallacies
repel the other side
quixotic and neurotic, yet somehow a perfect model for modern negotiation
on active lookout for signs of violation
i don’t know about you, but it’s like a hall of mirrors in my head
but i know, despite all my uncertainty, admitting fallibility moves me as close to sanity as i can get
i see it
encouraged
institutionally
mania
we exalt like gold medallists
our leading pop polemicists
it’s trickled down and magnified and now not only am i your opponent
i’m your wicked, screaming, arch nemesis
you think i’m wrong about x and y, it’s black and white
and that gives you a green light for you to see red
i wish you’d recognise some shades of grey
and break down all these fortresses
i don’t know about you, but it’s like a hall of mirrors in my head
but i know, despite all my uncertainty, admitting fallibility moves me as close to sanity as i can get
i see it
consuming
the better part of us
mania
i don’t know about you, but it’s like a hall of mirrors in my head
but i know, despite all my uncertainty, admitting fallibility moves me as close to sanity as i can get
mindreading, magnifying, twisting and dichotomising
it weakens, disorders and deranges us to the point of mania
