schopenhauer in berlin - emperor x lyrics
schopenhauer in berlin
watched the metropolis collapse to the village
it’s a sign of the times that we’re in
that we’re thinking along the same line he did
so we climb to the top of the bridge
where the white flag was raised in defiance
it’s a truce. it’s a loss. it’s a win
it’s a landslide
will you pay for my flu shot?
i’m immune, but my heart’s not, and i’m cold
will we sink like the charge on a battery
blinking out together? open question
schopenhauer on the greyhound
drinking drano from an open container
saw the wisdom in keeping his gaze fixed
at the phone lines
then schopenhauer spat his teeth out
in the hopes that was collectively kinder
on a night of drunken karaoke
and young tired eyes
when we dream we connect in communion
our slurred words spoke we backwards the more
we sang “la la la, la la la la la, registration doc-ments!”
closed our eyes, and p-ssed out on the floor
if we cling to the cold star
will we freeze together?
open question
schopenhauer in new york city
was conflicted in his hatred of hegel
but his arrogance conquered his pity
and he flew out
on the first flight his sister could find him
and he slept all the way back to tegel
where the landing lights threatened to blind him
until they blew out
i can’t sleep. we got older
we were cool. now we’re cold and alone
but if we sing “la la la, la la la la la!” will our wild democracy
echo out forever?
open question
if the universal will blanks your mind
if the population catalyst declines
please remember: schopenahuer in berlin was not unkind
he had eyes just like ours
