Brett Alexander Boye - Fountain of Aging

Текст с Bandcamp’а: “The ’Fountain of Aging’ is the opposite of the ’Fountain of Youth’. This song has a bit of a dark tone about it but for good reason. It observes all of the various forms of deceit (via metaphor) in the world that will make you weaker and ultimately ruin your life. Once you realize and awaken to these things, the first step is to walk away. A religion of convenience In an alluring church Painted red, painted yellow Disconnected from the challenge of nature Further they sink into an abyss Of comfort and satiation Until the pillow can’t hold their weight The glistening so bright and welcoming But it masks the slow poison It’s a fountain of aging Everyone says “come on in, the water is fine“ In the glossy shrines cut with thousands of knives Brings the death to the body temple Before it’s due time Turn my back and walk away From the circling vultures above that place Then I glimpse a rare blue sky Kept in my mind I still got time... from 4​.​.​.​3​.​.​.​2​.​.​., released December 15, 2020 Yes, that movie clip is Rutger Hauer in the film Blade Runner and I’ve taken this clip completely out of its original context and flipped it on its head.“
