WUT THE FUK IS MATTER ?​?​?

from FRAGMENTED by LOSTBOYEVSKY & OPHELIA DIES

lyrics

Matter, matter, what the fuck is matter?
Please don't give me a scientific answer
Matter, matter, holy fuck it's matter
walking on a planet and nothing really matters

Man I feel so Henry David when I gawk at a tree
Balking at Buddha's ape feet, feeling spacey
I share this rock with child slaves and Chichen Itza
But maybe I just ate a simulated pizza
Metaphysics swag, call me D.T. Suzuki
Imagining how the eyes of E.T. would construe me
I don't know much about being and nothingness
But I might just be a stream of Tao loveliness

Matter, matter, what the fuck is matter
Please don't give me a scientific answer
Matter, matter, I'm made of fucking matter
soaring through the universe and nothing really matters

The way that can be told is not the eternal way
I'm Wordsworth in the daffodils taking a personal day
Science only explores the falsifiable
I'm Terence McKenna eyes wide at the indescribable
I'm up with night-terrors of brains floating in vats
And if solipsism is truth, then I'm talking to myself, drat
I'm also Alan Watts playing hide and seek with Krishna
Or Emerson screaming "God exists!" at an atheist picnic
But I'm simultaneously Nietzsche retorting that "God is dead!"
Whatever THIS is, I think it's all the same wonderbread

Matter matter what the fuck is matter
Please don't give me a scientific answer
Matter matter I just ate some matter
In this primate body and nothing really matters

Matter matter what the fuck is matter
Please don't give me a scientific answer
Matter matter I just drank some matter
In this primate body and maybe everything matters

(Goddess speaks)

"All is Tao, Lostboyevsky. Everything and nothing matters. It is the Way of Things. Have compassion, help others. All sentient beings deserve love.

And don't forget to laugh. You humans are far too serious. Google "icecube laugh," that lady knows what's up. You'll thank me later.

Peace to you now, my zany little Earthling. Yeah. Or something. Goddess shit."
