I have to preface this Three Tune Tuesday post, I assembled this playlist somewhere last friday, it was a bit of a rough weekend, as I pulled an all-nighter and repriced dCity and started selling off many of my most precious NFTs. I love dCity, so much - I hope the NFTs go to good homes.
That night, shivering in the night cold, I thought to myself - Is it Tuesday yet? Once a week is hardly enough for just THREE TUNES!
But I was feeling it, I assembled it, and as I write now, I am on to much different music - I suppose I'll share those with you next week.
Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark
And so it all began
Send in your skeletons
Sing as their bones go marching in again
They need you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are ever ready
Are you ready?
Keeping the topic on dCity - @gerber and I have been chatting it up recently, and one of the thing he has been hurt burnt out about is the massive level of pretending - we just imagine certain things, even if we know they are not true, everyone just goes along with it. Its not healthy.
I have always been for open and honest communication, and I have to admit I did my fair share of pretending "Everything is fine" - "This is fine" - because, What am I supposed to do about it?
That's the problem with pretending, it is in some ways contagious.
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
Well, we are demystifying everything!
We wouldn't do it if there weren't anything mysterious. So, this is fine! Except, what happens if we don't like what we find?
When I was a young boy
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band
He said, "Son, when you grow up
Would you be the savior of the broken
The beaten and the damned?"
He said, "Will you defeat them?
Your demons, and all the non-believers
The plans that they have made?"
"Because one day, I'll leave you a phantom
To lead you in the summer
To join the black parade"
I have a mission - its Synergy!
I feel called to do this, to work like this. It doesn't have to be here, I do this whereever I go. Its... just how I was raised maybe, or something in my soul from previous cycles - I don't know, does it matter?
I think what I think, and I believe it too. If we just communicate openly and honestly, we can find the right course of action - good for everyone! And hopefully, avoid the worst mistakes of humans, which is something like "bitterness" and "assumptions".
Your misery and hate will kill us all
But, it doesn't need to be this way. We can "talk", we can Send a Message.
Interchanging mind control
Come, let the revolution take its toll
If you could flick the switch and open your third eye
You'd see that we should never be afraid to die
Rise up and take the power back
It's time the fat cats had a heart attack
You know that their time's coming to an end
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend
They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
I am not afraid
Yes, I am heading into a new season in my life. I wrote it all down in my notebook, but somehow the moments, as they arrive, are more meaningful and powerful than I could ever have imagined.
To power down, to change my things, to go all in on a dream - its all stuff I have done before. But it feels extremely meaningful. To "break my combines", to dump my NFTs, to pay myself and my partner @thecrazygm and stop looking for "work", and just simply follow our roadmap and keep asking "Is this worth money?" - its deep, for me.
It is meaningful. Its a process, and I will not turn away from it. I will embrace it! I will find the synergies!
And can I just say - I have!
dCity discord is more alive than ever - turns out I may have "beaten the game" so hard as to demoralize other players, and the market. Every discussion recently has been productive, even things that I initially viewed as challenges, have opened up amazing new doors of synergistic possibilities.
I guess I will dive more into that, next week, with another batch of the deepest and most meaningful human activity - MUSIC!
Shout out to @dbooster for introducing me to this method, this "series", this WAY of making posts. #ttt for the win!
