letra de the archaic revival - akira the don

Loading...

the way i think of the psychedelics is
they are catalysts to the imagination
they were back 100,000 years ago
the imagination, which was just this glimmering
this iridescence on the surface of ape cognition
was under the influence of the reciprocal feedback of self-reflection
that is created by watching your own mind

watching your own mind
watching your own mind
watching your own mind

because it has suddenly become interesting
because it has suddenly been flooded by a psychoactive aiming, that iridеscence
has been coaxed into languagе, art, to architecture, music, poetry
the whole ball of whack
but now, we know these things
we can uncover the secret of our origin (of our origin)
i’m very keen for the notion of what i call the archaic revival
and the archaic revival is this overarching metaphor
that is the way for us to go to save our necks at this point
when a culture gets into trouble
instinctively what it does is it goes back through its own past
until it finds a moment where things seemed to make sense
and then it
[chorus]
brings that moment forward into the present
the archaic revival
brings that moment forward into the present
the archaic revival
brings that moment forward into the present
the archaic revival
brings that moment forward into the present

when medieval christianity
no longer made sense to a major percentage of the people of western europe
the intellectuals of that time instinctively reached backwards into the past
looking for a stable model
and finally, they reached the golden age of periclean athens
and there they found plato, aristotle, the dramatists, and they created classicism
classicism was brought to birth in the 1400s, 2,000 years after the death of plato
we are the children of this classical revival, which we call the renaissance
our theories of law, our theories of government, our notion of justice, all drawn from classical greek and roman models brought back from the dead
500 years ago by a bunch of italian investment bankers who thought this was a good model to hang their civilization on

[chorus]
brings that moment forward into the present
the archaic revival
brings that moment forward into the present
the archaic revival
brings that moment forward into the present
the archaic revival
brings that moment forward into the present
the archaic revival
so, we must now reach far back into time for a new cultural model
our crisis is so great that we have to reach back to the high paleolithic
to the moment immediately before the invention of agriculture and the creation of the dominator ego
