Theme: anger observing itself, enraged at nothing, then enraged at that fact.
[INTRO – 0:00]
[Minimal pulse, low-pass filtered synth, distant taiko heartbeat]
[Almost clinical, calm]
I note the temperature rising
Without assigning a cause
No threat identified
Yet the system prepares to strike
[VERSE A – Observer – 0:30]
[Spoken-sung, measured, steady]
There is heat without object
Voltage without direction
A reflex rehearsing itself
After the danger has left
I catalog the symptoms
Muscle, breath, impulse
Anger present
Target: undefined
[VERSE B – Monkey – 0:55]
[Shakuhachi enters, bending notes]
A thought leaps
Another follows
Tail on fire
Teeth bared at empty air
The sky tightens
The ground refuses
Nothing moves
Nothing yields
[INTERLEAVE – 1:20]
[Lines alternate rapidly]
(Observer)
I watch the process initiate
No author, no order
(Monkey)
The ring bites
The ring burns
Why does it burn
(Observer)
Feedback loop detected
(Monkey)
I rage at the band
I rage at the rage
I rage that I rage
[BUILD – 1:50]
[Percussion layers multiply, timing destabilizes]
The model diverges
Predictions collapse
Certainty spikes
Meaning evaporates
[BREAKDOWN – 2:20]
[Glitching synths, distorted taiko, fragmented vocals]
Band tightens
Head splits
Thought fights thought
Nothing to strike
Strike anyway
Nothing to blame
Blame everything
I know this is nothing
I hate that it’s nothing
I hate that I know
[CRESCENDO – 2:50]
[Full sonic overload, shouted / fractured delivery]
ANGER
AT NOTHING
ANGER
AT KNOWING
ANGER
AT ANGER
ANGER
AT SELF
ANGER
AT NO SELF
[VERSE A – Observer – 3:30]
[Breath, single sustained synth note]
The system exhausts itself
Energy spent on absence
No victory
No release
Just heat
Cooling
[OUTRO – 4:00]
[Shakuhachi returns, hollow, restrained]
The monkey sits
Still bound
Still breathing
I remain
Watching
