about
This song took me so long, and however I tried I just could not finish it. I guess you could say the song finished me. Sometimes songs have minds of their own.
In the end, how I finished it was by messing it up, and playing with it like it was a game. One day I was working on it, for the pure weird joy of it, and it told me to leave it alone.
This is a song about free-will and how language is both a prison and a key to freedom. It is also a fun, irreverent bundle of joyful, playful, wackiness that I put my whole heart and soul into.
One question this song asks is, did I have a choice to write this song?
lyrics
DETERMINISM - from "Truth and Fun" by Eight Two
We laugh a lot, we smile at each other
Whoever we meet is sister or brother
We have fun, we get along
We laugh when we're right, and laugh when we're wrong
Did I have a choice to write this song?
Were you predetermined to give it derision?
We laugh a lot, we smile at each other
Whoever we meet is sister or brother
We have fun, we get along
We laugh when we're right, and laugh when we're wrong
Do I have a choice to sing this song?
Are you predetermined to skip it or sing-along?
If there's no free will, how can there be right and wrong?
Does belief in free will change the decision?
The game, the game, the game of words
We laugh along, we smile at each other
Whoever we meet is sister or brother
We have fun, we get along
We laugh when we're right, and laugh when we're wrong
We pout and turn our backs on each other
Whoever we meet is a motherfucker
We're too vain to get along
We laugh when we're right and cheat when we're wrong
I fell in love with fate
But fate broke my heart,
Irreconcilable differences
Fatalists don't take chances!
Fate got the house,
I got the miniature horse and cart
Hey quantum predictor!
I'll break your tomorrow
By being a random man
Take me beyond names, to where we need no definitions
Take me beyond names, to where we need no definition
Take me beyond names, to where we need no definitions
Take me beyond names, to where we need no definition
It's only possible
Because it's happening
Life is unlikely
It's only possible
Because it's happening
Love is unlikely
It's only possible
Because it's happening
We laugh a lot, we smile at each other
Everyone we meet is sister or brother
We have fun, we get along
We laugh when we're right, and laugh when we're wrong
We pout and turn our backs on each other
Whoever we meet is a motherfucker
We're too vain to get along
We laugh when we're right and cheat when we're wrong
We laugh when we're right, and laugh when we're wrong
The game... the game
Do I have a choice to sing this song?
Are you predetermined to skip it or sing-along?
If there's no free will, how can I choose right from wrong?
Does belief in free will change my decision?
The game of words prefers the dead and the name above the thing
The game of words prefers the dead and the name above the thing
The game of words prefers the dead and the name above the thing
The game of words, the game of words
