about

The third line of the album is about fake motivational speakers and gurus and my fear of becoming like them.
My first job interviews in the area were surreal.
There was a time when recruiters contacted fresh graduate guys like me to invite them to group interviews.
The recruiters were all top salesmen, huge egos, the most egotistical people you could ever meet.
Their purpose was to find another one like them.
You had to believe blindly in them and to sell yourself to reach the top and make money.
It looked like a weird hierarchical organization and I felt I could never fit into that kind of company’s structure.
When I wrote the lyrics I had in mind the film Magnolia.
Tom Cruise’s character, the motivational speaker Frank Mackey was the perfect example of a crafty man.

lyrics

Sorry,
I haven’t raised my cup to drink
With you to your most wonderful tricks
But i don’t think there is something to
Celebrate or lift my mood
And i’m distracted by someone shouting
On the screen, pretentious fortune tellers
The key to your success

Most of the time
And you could vote for them
Or mix up with devil
And I ingested a fleeting sense of joy
Encapsulated like a toy
Go on playing on me
And next day i wake up like you

Sorry,
For not even trying
well, maybe you were wrong with me
Is this what the destiny inflicted upon me?
And the size of my synapses
Help me realizing
That i'm ready
To be cheated like everyone there
And i can’t stop the wave

So most of my time
Is spent believing you
To be true and honest
And I ingested a careful sense of joy
Encapsulated like a toy
Now that i see through you all
Through you all
