The perspective of the impossible
is more attractive
than reality
loyalty
tranquility.
Living in fantasy
seems easier

"Where such men love they have no desire, and where they desire they cannot love"

Não consigo medir
quando os sinto
só consigo sentir
sempre intenso
nada sai
do pensamento
senti uma coisa
será a impossibilidade
será minha verdade
será o poder
e o não poder ser
já esqueci seu rosto
mas não o gosto
ferrugem
sangue
gosto
Gostoso.
Get away, away, away from your home
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
Estamos tão presos nos apreços
Nas formalidades nos endereços
na prole
nos apegos
desde o fim
até o começo
Identity is a complex thing in the social media age. There are of course perfectly valid arguments that even artists who present themselves under their own name still do so through an elaborately calculated and managed sense. In an era when bands and artists spew out meaningless hashtag politics to score online woke points, is it any less fake to simply lie about your entire existence under the guise of character? It balances an interesting and occasionally perilous line between exploring identity and being exploitative; between wily marketing and desperate tactics to do what it takes to get yourself heard and seen. So it asks the question: playfulness or perniciousness?
So does buying into the myth, as long as the music is good, supersede a need for truth? Does authenticity matter if the yarn or the art is good enough?
