Arrogance
06:09
|

Pick your literal poison or otherwise and get addicted, because no thing says, 'Purpose,' like a wreckless, base desire.
"Arrogance," we both voice. "Denial of one's origin," says she. "Accepting one's self as a constant," says I. "Pretending that a weakness breeds individuality, and that individuality generates power." I do not even really know who is speaking any more. "Arrogance is glorifying self destruction. Arrogance is forgetting lessons learned. Arrogance is pretending that opinion is fact. Arrogance is pretending that fact exists. Arrogance... is the enemy."
"Arrogance is what makes us feel the need to waste our minds on things like regret," August backs me up. "We are arrogant when we treat our burdens like things greater than us, or when we allow our selves to believe that our sorrow is important. It tells us that we are misunderstood by equals."

Knowledge

I know I know not
Making mistakes is a great way to learn, but some mistakes cost more than one can afford. Experience is a proven road to evidence, but some times speculation paints a clearer picture.
What we think we can not know; what we feel we know we can not explain. All that we know through action is that we can know no thing for sure, so it is the eternal search for knowledge that makes us great.

Waste my mind, waste land you are dread
Waste my life, you toy with my head
Undermine my taste for nostalgia
Let me forget your name, Zotohla
Empty is the space filling my mind
Wanderlust triggers me this time
If where you go is where you came from
Is the journey a waste in sum

Romanticism

|

Spirituality is aesthetic as physical beauty is aesthetic. Both are romantic modifiers, not fundamental aspects of being, and both are inferior to love.
find beauty in all things. Compassion frees our wings.

Honor
07:22
|
|||
Making mistakes is a great way to learn, but some mistakes cost more than one can afford. Experience is a proven road to evidence, but some times speculation paints a clearer picture.
Romanticism is action. Knowledge is observation. Balance is direction. Honor is foundation. Arbitrary codes of morality and prolonged sacrifice of basic values belong to the realm of romanticism; honor is truth.

Arrogance is the enemy; balance is the goal; knowledge is the drive; honor is the method; romanticism is the attitude, and all this is just an other means to an end so pristine.

Shyft Denver, Colorado
This is Shyft’s gabber/hardcore/breakcore/drill’n’bass project. Distorted heavy bass kicks, thick synths, and powerful melodies are the aim here- unless it’s chopped up progressive percussion. Influences come from many places, and not just the gabber or brain dance scene. It ranges from techno, trance and house genre classes to organic genre classes such as folk and metal. ... more
