Colonize Mars by Hope LIttwin
“Only if i exist in a world in which history, or the demands of nature, or the needs of my fellow human beings, or the duties of citizenship, or the call of God, or something else of this order matters crucially, can I define an identity for myself that is not trivial. Authenticity is not the enemy of demands that emanate from beyond the self; it supposes such demands”
Charles Taylor
“Today the world is not a theater in which roles are played and ritual gestures exchanged, but a market in which one exposes and exhibits oneself. Theatrical presentation gives way to a pornographic exhibition of the private” Byong-Chui Han

Lyrics
I fell asleep at the wheel
Woke up chin deep in trauma
Submerged in a stark memory
I keep my feelings at bay
Cause if one gets out
They’ll all escape and devour me
How is anyone breathing?
Let’s all go back to dreaming
This could be crazy - but
I think there’s hope for opposite hearts
Maybe just maybe
It takes a couple of misfits like us
To colonize Mars
Ooooooooooo
Is this your pattern
You fall in love
sweep her up
You freak out and drop her
Is this my Saturn returns
Did I build us up
assume the victim
And nuke the whole falcon
How is anyone breathing
Let’s all go back to dreaming
This could be crazy - but
I think there’s hope for opposite hearts
Like Maybe just maybe
It takes a couple of misfits like us
To colonize Mars
