We are absorbing a discourse of self development that brings no other than anxiety and frustration. And it is such a great engine because it is at the heart of innovation and entrepreneurship, it is the pillar for a society in which everyone is his or her own company that you have to sell and recreate in a market society. You frame yourself in relation to how likable you are which would "mean" how successful you "appear".
This album is evidently a counter culture message; embedded musically and acting as a tribute to the Rock of the 90; Grunge, New Punk, Etc. but is also a detachment from the suffering that this culture conveyed. It was again a heavy burden to feel only empowered by anger and rage which have ended in the auto destruction of some of the Counter Culture Prophets of the time. But still we could only profit from this social movement thanks to the big record deals and world tours, the counter culture could only exist as part of the big machine. So fame and grandeur were also desirable and sought after many kids and young adults, living a paradox, living this ill hybridity of wanting to be famous while conveying criticisms to a reigning social order, to the glamour and the superficiality.
So auto-imposed frames, the hunger (fame in Italian) for fame and the selling of the soul (âme in French) are at the conceptual heart of this song and the entire album. Cause we are here, anyhow, anyway and that's alright! Thanks for sharing this journey with us!
Lyrics:
And I’m here
Anyhow
Anyway
But it’s alright
All sold out
In my hopes
You will see
I restrain from fame
But you know it is okay
Is only frames
And I’m here
Anyhow
Anyway
But it’s alright
Songs in my soul
All these songs
Are my hopes
And they are mine
But you know it is okay
Restrained from fame
Songs in my soul
All these songs
Are my hopes
And they are mine
