about

The track scum was written in the context of several Eastern European political figures downplaying, denying or even defending the actions of the Russian aggressors in Ukraine. It is a reaction to the urge of physical revenge towards these political actors and the hope that their reckoning will eventually come, irrespective of our current collective actions. Multiple intertextual references occur within the lyrics, but they are here for the spectator to uncover.

lyrics

Know that the end will justify the means,
Plebeians feed on flesh as it still bleeds,
Zeuxis foresaw the tears in his eyes,
"witness the beauty, a tale none survived",
I watched them tarnish these lives as such,
The corpse politic endured each punch,
Revolutions can’t be televised,
As eyes may turn desensitized,
The butchering of precious scum,
Condoned by some can’t be undone,
Preoccupied with partisan perceptions present,
Yet lacking lungs, to voice, in turn, all that’s absent,
Prevent our hold on what unfolds, for years untold,
Granting us choice, not here, nor there, medics pronounced us cold.
Stare at the sun, of no concern, we melt instead of glowing,
No shadows fall behind this corpse, not living, merely stalling,
Know that the end will justify the means,
Plebeians feed on flesh as it still bleeds,
Zeuxis foresaw the tears in his eyes,
"witness the beauty, a tale none survived",
I watched them tarnish these lives as such,
The corpse politic endured each punch,
Revolutions can’t be televised,
As eyes may turn desensitized,
The butchering of precious scum,
Condoned by some can’t be undone.
