lyrics

We are completely determined by prior causes,
Just like everything else in the world,
Just like broken glass on the floor,
Just like the nerve impulses in my brain.
Would you help me find a bit of fortuity?
I searched through time and I haven’t found any,
So I shouldn’t feel guilty,
to spill blood in your tea.

It’s the result of a preceding cause,
And the cause of a future result,
I just have to follow physical laws,
That have already shaped my own cult.

Laws that have already built my cosmos,
As well as my passions and my depressions.
Everything was predictable from the start.
The illusion of decision is convincing,
But don’t fight life’s impartial causality,
You’re just a gear in the watch,
Victim of the world’s predictability.
(Instrumental)

I dig, I dig, I dig and I dig deeper.
I’ve finally found what I was looking for,
The absolute randomness,
The fundamental randomness,
I’m stuck with a worst nausea now,
I’m free.
