Pinback - From Nothing To Nowhere
-o- Nothing makes you writhe Nothing makes you move as far down the wire A sudden gesture Bruise your faith into right A charge of inventions [?] Read yourself into history Rewrite your dementia
Revision (repeat)
Cosign my letter (repeat)
These shadows take care of us, they cover us up in the shade And to the sky we're gonna move These shadows take care of us, they cover us up in the shade And to the sky, we're gonna move
You turn away (repeat)
If its nothing but a sign, bleed onto your shoes man If its nothing but a sign, bleed onto your shoes man
What's defined as right A simple nature What's understood de-volved From nothing to nowhere (stay away) Please your numbers Stay your numb friends Plead to no one Stay in nowhere
These shadows take care of us, they cover us in the shade Into the sky, we're gonna move These shadows take care of us, they cover us up in the shade And to the sky, we're gonna move
If it's nothing but a sign, bleed onto your shoes man If it's nothing but a sign, bleed onto your shoes man
These shadows take care of us, they cover us up in the shade And to the sky we're gonna move
Those of you who can read the seasons, can read between the lines when you watch the news, and know how to do your own research and think on your own to acquire a real education all know what time it is... but, I have heard a lot of talk of fear. I have heard a lot of concerns expressed about the general malaise and stupidity of the common person, and of the lack of courage and motivation of the average man to, not only fight to secure his own liberty, but to simply educate the self as to what real liberty and freedom is. Although I hear your concerns and understand that they are based on fact, I do not condone the usage of these concerns as excuses to stop fighting.
If you keep in mind that you are going to die and that you were born to die, this fight becomes simple, and in fact, this entire existence becomes simple. If you keep in mind that this journey is only a matter of what choices you are going to make, then you will be able to face this evil without getting depressed. Trust me when I say that those who seek to enslave you are not as complicated and as sophisticated as you have been made to believe. They are simple just like us. They have only made a choice and stuck with it indefinitely and through any obstacles. There is no reason we can't do the same thing!
The basic truth that you need to realize before you can start to live in truth is the very truth which every real artist who has ever lived has become. It is the truth that the time and space of the holograph in which we are juxtaposed is our canvas, and every choice we make with these vessels is the guided movement of the brush stroke and in the colors of our choosing. You are an artist and you are painting the world with each fragment of time that you exist in this manifestation here. If you do not move the brush against the canvas, there are others who will paint your world for you… and so it has been for all too long.
Fundamentally it is your own fear of pain and death that made you stop fighting. Fear; this is one of the reasons they are so audacious with their actions. It is because they know it will make a psychological shock to those who actually see what is happening and their first reflex will be to recoil, from fighting the source of the terror, back to the position of fetal safety. And so, they learned long ago, it is not enough to only rape you. They must gang rape you. They must make you look them in the face as they laugh and taunt you condescendingly. You must see them revel in it. They must video tape it, and play it back to you, and threaten you with death and violence while maintaining a supposed position of authority over you. They must then take symbols of the perpetual gang rape and place them ever so quaintly all around you until then, when you are overwhelmed and more demoralized than you would have ever been if a stranger had just penetrated you silently and then went on his way, you become part of the problem. At that point you are on their team and you are a part of their army.
It does not matter if you see immediate success with trying to educate people or incite them to fight for liberty. There is no such thing as being unsuccessful when it comes to these endeavors because you are planting seeds in their mind that you may or may not have the opportunity to see grow. The so called "elite" already know this secret. It may be today that a person calls you crazy and doesn't listen to your message, but that message will still burrow its way into their mind, and it will grow inside of their subconscious. Know that one truth has more power then ten lies. That person that you talked to may turn out to be a leader in the resistance of tyranny a year from now because of the seed you planted in their mind today, if even through certain degrees of separation. That person's child may turn out to be the one who leads the war for a truth renaissance, spurred by the truth his parents repeated him as heard from you.
You do not need to see immediate results. Their system trains you to think that way, but they do not operate that way. Their system they set in place for you tells you that if you go to college you will get a job, and if you buy the right car you will get the girl, and if you go to work you will you get the money. These simple procedures of jumping through hoops for an immediate treat are for people who are meant (by the elite) to be simple. You have been trained to think 'if I do this I get that', and so, if ever you do 'this' and you do not get 'that' immediately, you become depressed and broken in a sea of hopelessness. The truth is that the ruling class' modus operandi is not the true 'cause and effect' system they train you to live your life in accordance with, but rather a form of momentum with compound interest applied. The system they adhere to is the game of chess. Chess is a game of infinite patience, sacrifice, and psychological trickery. We cannot hope to even have a fair chance of winning the game if we don't even learn what the game is. Do not be mistaken, this war is generational and psychological, as can be seen in the ruling class' multi-generational psychological programming campaign they have waged on us and from which they are just now starting to bear the full harvest of fruit.
So what you need to understand is that everything YOU do counts. What you need to understand is that YOU matter. You need to understand that that conversation you had with your co worker (who is starting to think you're crazy) explaining why 911 was an inside job, or that conversation you had with your mate (who is starting to think you're crazy) about how the Bush family is not who they portray themselves to be, or that conversation you had with your congressman (who is starting to listen to the people's expressed will) telling him to bring the troops home from Iraq and impeach our president for crimes against humanity is adding one more straw to our side of the scales. Eventually we will win. Armed with the power of truth and strength in numbers, we will tip the scales in our favor before long. Eventually we will win. Eventually we will win.

What's good kids?! This is your friend Claude reminding you to just say NO to empty commercial jams.
I know there's too many of you who log on, skim the front page and say "Yo, I didn't know that Young Joc's touring with Mypace! It's goin down f'sho!"
STOP RIGHT THERE.
Count to ten, and remind yourself that bad music, is bad for you.
And not just for you but for others as well. Bullshit music much like second hand smoke affects those all around us and can lead to terrible habits like "buying-your-music-at Wal-Mart-itis" (Wal-Mart now being the no.1 CD retailer in the nation.)
Just listening to that new R. Kelly or T-pain around your girls/dudes can get them hooked on what they thought was "retarded club music, but fun to listen to!"
WRONG!
It is not fun. First off, club music is for drunk people with no standards or sense of hearing (Hey, I'm drunk, but I got standards.) Second, I read somewhere that Juelz Santana record sales are directly linked to increases in global warming... or something like that.
Anyway next time you hear the meaningless garbage that the almighty dollar programs for us (thank you CC) just remember those starving artists (and I don't include myself in this category -- I'm hardly starving or an artist) who take the time.
Remember all those musicians, emcees, singers, deejays, producers and the rest of 'em that put blood, sweat and tears into their art and weren't just trying to find out how much jewelry they can string on their neck before they fracture a vertebrae.
So go out this weekend and buy a ticket to a local five-dollar show. The money you save on gas and your outfit alone will probably get you and your friends another round of beers or a bigger sack at your local clinic.
And then we can all be belligerent fools cuttin the rug, but hopefully rockin to some REAL shit.
This has been a paid program. The views expressed in the previous in no way reflect the views of any major corporation; not even the one that owns this site.
Thank you and god bless the DJ.

I wouldn't coax the plant if I were you, Such watchful nurturing may do it harm. Let the soil rest from so much digging And wait until it's dry before you water it. The leaf's inclined to find its own direction; Give it a chance to seek the sunlight for itself.
Much growth is stunted by too careful prodding, Too eager tenderness. The things we love we have to learn to leave alone. --
