[jalicea1890]

[AvantGrapes]

@jalicea1890 that's actually dino. he can sing very low as well. great vocal range.

[KvltKommando]

hahahah, wow, coincidentally I love both dystopia and eckhart tolle, and have these albums and this audiobook. But I hadn't listened to this song til now.

[Jprnotld87]

eckhart tolle

[Jprnotld87]

Eckart Tolle

[communistfun]

im a communist , for very general label's sake. but personally i don't see any difference in between how the u.s. acted and how the soviet union acted. they did things differently but equally brutally with crisp democracy and social values given to some groups like in east germany where same sex marriage was legalized in 1960.

[skulldrix]

@communistfun so be an anarchist.

[zztosha]

This is one the best opening tracks ever. Pretty much spoke my mind.

[ashleyluvspat]

[jesi0483]

FIRST of all: I cannot believe I missed out on the fact that you had a "new album" in 2008...TWO, who cares if "Dino's Brain Cancer" was a BS prank (???) WHICH is ALSO a INCREDIBLE NEWS!!!!...All I know is that I am happy to listen AND hear some amazing new music from the Dystopia whom I hadn't expected to release a single nothing from for over 10 years now!!!...THANK YOU!!!! :) :) :)

[mamakoala666]

This is my favorite Dystopia song, gives me goosebumps.

[Pomakik]

im purdy sure this CD was self titled ....and life is abuse is the label

[AvantGrapes]

@Pomakik you're correct.

[reefercaruana]

I hate labels but sounds like a cross between crust and sludge with alot punk infulence

[marktarded]

@reefercaruana lol what? sounds like crust with punk influence? Crust is a type of punk.... but yes, it's crust sludge more or less

[missjaydeelopez]

what kind of genre is dystopia??

[ApocalypticWarhammer]

@missjaydeelopez is "brutal genius" a genre?

[MagicJohnsonHardCore]

Dystopia is great band, great song, one of best for me.

Could anyone write guitar tab for this song?

[koffherbakid7]

if there was one band it would be DYSTOPIA  great shit allways

[TheUrieldelsol]

obsessed with this more than i ever was with skinny puppy. how is it possible, this good

[Shadowspike0]

The

old patterns of thought, emotion, behavior, reaction, and desire are acted out in endless

repeat performances, a script in your mind that gives you an identity of sorts but distorts or

covers up the reality of the Now. The mind then creates an obsession with the future as an

escape from the unsatisfactory present.

-Eckhart Tolle

THIS IS THE INTRO BY ECKHART TOLLE FROM HIS BOOK, THE POWER OF NOW. READ FROM BOTTOM UP B/C IT IS IN REVERSE ORDER.

[Shadowspike0]

Are you waiting for a man or woman to give meaning to your

life?

In the normal, mind-identified or unenlightened state of consciousness, the power and

infinite creative potential that lie concealed in the Now are completely obscured by

psychological time. Your life then loses its vibrancy, its freshness, its sense of wonder.

[Shadowspike0]

Is

fulfillment always just around the corner or confined to short-lived pleasures, such as sex,

food, drink, drugs, or thrills and excitement? Are you always focused on becoming,

achieving, and attaining, or alternatively chasing some new thrill or pleasure? Do you

believe that if you acquire more things you will become more fulfilled, good enough, or

psychologically complete?

[Shadowspike0]

This is a chilling example of how belief in a future heaven creates a present hell.

Can there be any doubt that psychological time is a serious and dangerous mental illness?

How does this mind pattern operate in your life? Are you always trying to get

somewhere other than where you are? Is most of your doing just a means to an end?

[Shadowspike0]

The end is an idea, a point in the mind-projected future,

when salvation in whatever form - happiness, fulfillment, equality, liberation, and so on - will

be attained. Not infrequently, the means of getting there are the enslavement, torture, and

murder of people in the present.

For example, it is estimated that as many as 5o million people were murdered to further

the cause of communism, to bring about a "better world" in Russia, China, and other

countries.

[Shadowspike0]

THE INSANITY OF PSYCHOLOGICAL TIME

You will not have any doubt that psychological time is a mental disease if you look at its

collective manifestations. They occur, for example, in the form of ideologies such as

communism, national socialism or any nationalism, or rigid religious belief systems, which

operate under the implicit assumption that the highest good lies in the future and that

therefore the end justifies the means.

[TheWeinerface]

the entire thing is not fuck life

they are trying to show the outright ignorance of the human species and how by its own suicidal greed we will annihilate ourselves

[winersrecords]

dystopia speaks for me. fuck life. ya lol

[oniksonerske]

this song sends shivers

[kiflarrgh]

is that echart tolle speaking

[lSTAYHlGH]

oooo im hearing the triad that sabbath used to scare the shit out of people back 1969 glad to see its still being used to make people extremely uncomfortable

[KvltKommando]

@lSTAYHlGH the triad?

[cataxstrophic]

the sample is from the book called "the power of now" by eckhart tolle, if you bought the vinyl you'd already know this :P

[kawaramachi907]

Shit thanks for the info. I have been searching for this. Unfortunately I dont have the vinyl of the new album. Damn shame because I love Dystopia!!! The band I was playing with played with them once. They were so tight!!!!

[niallist]

This album quickly became my favorite from Dystopia. This song and "My Meds Aren't Working" may be the two most depressing songs ever written, and for two totally different reasons.

And seriously, where the fuck is that sample at the beginning of this song from?

[onedeadcop]

2 best songs on the album in my opinion

the sample is eerie as fuck i love it

[heavensmutantchild]

anyone know where the intro sound byte is from? soo creepy and real

[Lortagreb]

Not sure where it's from but the text is from Aaron Eckhart's book "the power of now" or something. It's probably him reading it actually since he often does spoken word / speeches or something. hes a teacher as well.

[dunce237]

I hope they come back together as a band soon!!!

[tolvana]

It was about fucking time to hear something new from this band.

And it sounds as real as it could get!

Awesome.

[drunkapetrovka]

fuck yeah!

[danieltapper84]

amazing. absolutly amazing
