Subterfuge
We are invisible, illegible by choice
The apostates of subterfuge mired in this infernal lie
We don't need to be seen
We don't need to be heard
We just want to disappear
Disappear now
Disappear now
Disappear now
We are invisible, illegible by choice
The apostates of subterfuge mired in this inferno of life

Oscilla
Re-assemble the atoms of our Zomian mind
So we can climb out
Re-assemble the atoms of our Zomian mind
Zone of refusal
Re-assemble the atoms of our Zomian mind
Drift like vagrants
A fire incantation for us
A fire incantation for us
A fire incantation for us
A fire incantation for us
Re-assemble the atoms of our Zomian mind
So we can climb up high
Wander along and beyond the borders
Up in the highlands of my Zomia
Flux and formlessness
Chameleons of freedom
Flux and statelessness
Our debts are forgiven
Flux and oscillation
Swing a new luck around
Oscilla's highest ground
A fire incantation for us
A fire incantation for us
A fire incantation for us
A fire incantation for us
Pagan thoughts
Disorder

Disorder
What say peoples?
Never would have thought
As patience wears thin
Oh what a fucking joke
Able lies
A fire incantation
Fallen for it
A fire incantation
Able lies
A fire incantation
Disbelievers
A fire incantation for us
Inner barbarians
Keepers of the forest
We are acephalous
Egalitarian peoples
What?
How?
People say
Do they forget about tomorrow?
I can't seem to get away

Autodidact
In the face of power
Do you crumble or do you honestly express yourself?
In the face of power
You can smile
Be happy
Happy in your slavery
There's god in your money
Behind their backs you're a different person
You vent your spleen
In the land of power
Open up the vault to the heart of the centre and dismantle its hold on us
Don't accept the inferno and become such a part of it that you can no longer see it
God is such a mindfuck
god is dead
Keep a distance from the system
The system seeks to dominate our thoughts
Keep a distance from institutions of puppetry
Look at the little emperors now
Rolling out their own red carpets
Keep a distance from the system
The system seeks to dominate our thoughts
Keep a distance
Look at the little emperors now
Rolling out their own red carpets
Rolling out their own red carpets

Distilled ashes
Bold as solid forms and structures
Lining up the straightest roads
Pouring out of cul-de-sacs
Like dinner is served
When the sound of mind erosion is a humming sound of meditation
Contemplation
Stable lines and minds
Lead us from temptation
No more idle hands for the devil
No more idle hands for the devil
Boldest knuckleheads and numbskulls
Lapping up the trickle down
Living to be grateful for the privileges
When the sound of mind control is a pretty sound of malediction
Stable minds are able
Ready for delusion
No more choices left for the sheeple
No more choices left for the sheeple
When the sound of mind erosion is a humming sound of education
Manipulation
People are poured away
People are poured away
People are poured away
Taxidermy

The Observatory Singapore, Singapore
The Observatory’s music is texturally complex and viscerally emotional, crossing wasted borders and musical extremities that parallel polarities within human existence, provoking and inspiring in a deeply enigmatic way. The group draws inspiration from their Southeast Asian roots and heroes of new music and art. ... more
