about

One of mankind's most enduring motivations is to constantly battle the natural state of darkness. Since the dawn of our sudden and drastic cognitive advancement, we have spent so much of our resources on artificial versions of what we already had, like streetlights and pavement. And we are happy with it, because we don't know anything else. But what if we were to return to our natural state? What it we lived, loved and worked by the sun? Would we be any happier?

lyrics

Pavement
Written by Christopher Windsor and Diesel Junkies

I can see the city streets
They're sprawling out in front of me
The trees are green, but far away
The Pavement's grey and it's here to stay

If I never understand
Then I never have to hide
If we never have to leave this place
Then we never have to die

We can take the long way home
Fall in love between telephone poles
The cracks beneath our feet are sharp
There's always light, even after dark

If I never understand
Then I never have to hide
If we never have to leave this place
Then we never have to die

Well there's not always light in the heart of the darkness
The dirty streets can make even the sweetest fruit rotten
We've strayed too far, from our roots
And our children will pay for our forefathers' view
We came from the forest
And we left our trees
We put on clothes
And we built machines
Push the limits of science
And test the will of the gods
Human beings are nothing but organized fraud

If I never understand
Then I never have to hide
If we never have to leave this place
Then we never have to die

If I never understand
Then I never have to hide
If we never have to leave this place
Then we never have to die
