Kimberley Jackshaw

Trent wrote this when he was almost 40 years old, a more mature artist and perhaps more introspective on life. Trent asks himself and you, whether you will buy into the conventional life or even the life that you’ve convinced yourself you wanted. Is the shelter you’ve built for yourself, actually a cage? Do the choices you’ve made fill your soul with purpose or instead hollowness?The song forces the listener to question whether they are living an authentic life or one that is an illusion. The song reminds us that there are no second chances at life.

"What if all the world you think you knowIs an elaborate dream?"Becoming conscious – what does that mean?You wake up, take a shower, eat something, drink a coffee and go to work. You may have a family, friends, hobbies, issues and even some kind of purpose. Your life may not be perfect, but this is your life. You have your hopes and dreams, you have your fears, secret desires and you certainly have an idea about the world we live in. You may believe in God, in more than one God, or you may believe in science. Or maybe you do not believe in anything because definitively there is this option too on the table. As I said, you wake up, eat, drink, work, have sex, sleep and repeat. What exactly is the purpose? What am I missing? Make money, make more money, have your own house, have two houses, three castles in Europe, one exotic island, one hundred cars, your private jet plane, own a football team, be a rock star, whatever. Wake up, eat, drink, work, have sex, sleep and repeat.It is really the life of a human being, or this is the “life” of a machine?In 1999 the world was introduced in the alternative reality of “The Matrix.” It is a science fiction film written and directed by The Wachowskis and starring Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving, and Joe Pantoliano.Long story short, Matrix is a shared simulation of the world, in which the minds of the humans are trapped. Common to many science fiction stories, the brain in a vat outlines a scenario in which a mad scientist, machine, demon, or other entities might remove a person’s brain from the body, suspend it in a vat of life-sustaining liquid, and connect its neurons by wires to a supercomputer which would then be simulating reality and the brain would continue to have perfectly normal conscious experiences.The brain in a vat gives and receives the same impulses as it would if the brain were in a skull, and since these are its only way of interacting with its environment, then it is not possible to tell, from the perspective of the brain, whether it is in a skull or a vat. Someone cannot know whether most of one’s beliefs might be true or completely false.The brain in a vat is a contemporary version of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. Plato describes a group of people who have lived chained to the wall of a cave all of their entire lives, facing a blank wall. The people watch shadows projected on the wall from objects passing in front of a fire behind them. The shadows are the prisoners’ reality because they have never seen anything else. The prisoners of this place do not even desire to leave their prison, for they know no better life.Allegorically, the chains represent ignorance, while the shadows cast on the wall represent what people see in the present world.In 2003, Swedish philosopher Nick Bostrom proposed a trilemma that he called “the simulation argument”.The simulation hypothesis proposes that all of reality, including the earth and the universe, is, in fact, an artificial simulation, most likely a computer simulation. Some versions rely on the development of a simulated reality, a proposed technology that would seem realistic enough to convince its inhabitants the simulation was real.Think of the life in a simulated reality as of Minecraft, the popular 3D sandbox game. Sandbox games generally employ an open world setting. The game world is virtually infinite and procedurally generated as players explore it. Minecraft has no specific goals to accomplish, allowing players a large amount of freedom in choosing how to play the game. Sounds familiar? Living in a free world driven by our free will. Humans are creatures of habits and prisoners of the shadows.My extensive esoteric studies, almost thirty years of research and practice, get me to the conclusion that many of the things we believe true are nothing but “shadows.” There are two things which bother me. The fact that we “believe” and the fact that in order to see shadows, someone has to generate shadows. Believe is an exclusively emotional function and option. The main issue is that the emotional functions replaced almost completely our cognitive functions. Believing in angels, demons, spirits may seem primitive, but believing in science is not different. I have learned that if somebody seriously starts digging into any particular subject will pretty soon find out that nothing is so definitive and beyond any reasonable doubt.A couple of years ago I spent my summer reading books on physics and astronomy. Having my reasonable reserves regarding the traditional geocentric, Ptolemaic model I was looking for a viable alternative, something based on facts and not on appearance – the shadows on the wall. I was interested in learning about the universe and especially about space and time. One of my favourite authors in the field is Brian Greene. Greene has become known to a wider audience through his books for the general public, The Elegant Universe, The Fabric of the Cosmos, The Hidden Reality, Icarus at the Edge of Time, and due to the related PBS television specials. These books introduced me to an alternative reality, something different than the one I used to know and I thought is the only, true, scientific reality based on facts and thousands of hours of laboratory experiments.My point is, most of the things I learned recently contradict fundamentally most of the things I have learned in the school. However, my son learns the same things as my generation did half a century ago. Changing something in the scientific field is hard to impossible as it was changing the religious dogma five thousand years ago. Science became a religion; it is rigid, dogmatic and unwilling to change and evolve, nor to admit when it is fundamentally mistaken. Instead of priests and bishops, we have scientists and PhDs who only accept their version of the truth and their projection of reality, and they will defend it no matter what. Everything else – and everybody else – is labelled and discredited. They do not call it heretical anymore but fringe or conspirational. People have not burnt at stake any more but mocked and marginalised.In one way or another, we are educated and “cultivated” in specific directions according to these religious and scientific norms. It is not something that began today, but it has lasted for centuries. We have been taught to learn mechanically, to memorise instead of understanding. Once we have memorised something, we believe that we know and understand it. To the things we do not understand we give names and then we think we know them. We believe we know the shadows but exactly like the prisoners in the cave, we have never seen what is behind the shadows. We are educated according to specific religious, moral and social standards. We are cultivated in conformity with specific physical, emotional and mental patterns. Subsequently, we will only be capable of evolving, feeling and thinking inside those boxes – copying the shadows on the wall. We are cultivated to become emotional and to “think” and make decisions exclusively on emotional grounds because on the emotional level we are the most vulnerable and we can be easily manipulated.Truth never seems further away than it is today. Technological development and social media have facilitated mass surveillance and manipulation. However, changing people’s mentalities and convictions is the greatest challenge. The shadows they know and they get used to are always better than the blinding light of the sun they never know.

That songs about people been caged within a "mask" (eg fear/control) which adapt themselfs (staticly) to their social environment. listening to their feelings, eg supressed (former passive) aggresions , are a symbol which the "explosions" represent. Thats might be one reason -why that Song wasnt played in china.

Pterodactyl

reminds me of the anime "wonderful days".

The only other song that comes even close to hitting the soul like this one does is.. Tool - Right in two .. Not the official music video but the fan made cartoon.. Both to me are a priceless art.. Nothing else comes close..

Paige DuFresne

Anyone else get "The Cat Lady" vibes from this?

Karen Deeb

I fucking hate this stupid song. Its condescending. As if we don't already know that the world is fucked. The problem isn't with US, its with the history. Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. And now this fucking song blames us for being blind, when the truth is, we were just born a powerless generation after centuries of "wars". And history is written by the winners, the world is programmed by the winners, there's such a thing as politics of memory, there's such a thing a collective social amnesia. Its a condescending song, trying to "wake us up", when in fact, the fault is not ours. Anyway, I think the world IS shifting now. It IS waking up to the fact that things are, actually, no longer "right where they belong", because EVERYTHING is now changing at rapid speed. In conclusion, I believe the next decade will prove this song very, very wrong. We are not as blind as you thought we were.

This is tied for 1st for my favorite with Hurt by Trent. I've been a fan since his first halo's, and I think you did an excellent job with this video. Because in a way, it represents the ultimate power, yet complete fragility of mankind. Although I've held this song as an individual revelation; I can very much place it on the head of mankind. 10 years of being in the Army, and seeing war, and large portions of the world; I can adequately state, also looking at history, how very thinly we are balanced. "It is our world, to which we are either blessed or condemned to live in; depending on who's pulling the strings, and who's in wait to pull them."
