about

From EnemyIndustry's Ocean Terminus album, forthcoming Spring 24

lyrics

I think you had always rejected life intellectually. I detected a kind of pleasure in that. Even if you denied it, I felt you shiver with inverted carnality. ‘This is already a kind of space travel’ Anomalies were truer than skin. And you were that with an insistence that could be mistaken for depression by those who did not know you better. You became a vehicle of abstraction. But for what? When asked, you afforded me one of your distempered smiles. ‘There is equally no death,’ you then told me, and with sadness. ‘It is easy to invest the puppet with a kind of desire. We do it to ourselves after all.’
You had an extended community of seditious self-hackers. You exploited them and, in turn, they loved you for it. I remember your Russian, cagily defensive about the impact of local agonists and transcranial implants. He came through with the sub-dermals though.
I think of the tele-presences enfilading your skin and those others ventriloquizing in your larynx and trachea. You hoped to become something you could not yet see and mined the future for the not-you’s. Acousmatic dreams. You spoke from behind masks, screens, or paradoxical crossing points. In a voice like birds, you propose a science without an object. Of those things we now believe resemble nothing, participate in nothing.
