Desafío existencial en tiempos de crisis

¿Quienes somos?
¿De dónde venimos?
¿Por qué estamos aquí?
¿Para qué es la Vida?
¿Qué es la Muerte?
¿Qué hay antes de nacer?
¿Qué hay después de morir?

See the animal in it's cage that you built
Are you sure what side you're on?
Better not look him too closely in the eye
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?
See the safety of the life you have built
Everything where it belongs
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart
And it's all
Right where it belongs

[Chorus:]
What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you wanted to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks?
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?

What if all the world's inside of your head
Just creations of your own?
Your devils and your gods
All the living and the dead
And you really are alone
You can live in this illusion
You can choose to believe
You keep looking but you can't find the woods
While you're hiding in the trees

[Chorus:]

Alan Wilson Watts (6 January 1915 -- 16 November 1973) was a British philosopher, writer, and speaker, best known as an interpreter and popularizer of Eastern philosophy for a Western audience. Born in Chislehurst, he moved to the United States in 1938 and began Zen training in New York. Pursuing a career, he attended Seabury-Western Theological Seminary, where he received a master's degree in theology. Watts became an Episcopalian priest but left the ministry in 1950 and moved to California where he joined the faculty of the American Academy of Asian Studies.

The Great Below (NIN + Chris Cunningham)

The Great Below ( Nine Inch nails) + FleX (Chris Cunningham)

Proyecto experimental que fusiona la canción "The Great Below" de Nine Inch Nails con el cortometraje FleX del director Chris Cunningham. Es como si de algun modo estas dos sublimes piezas se hubieran creado para encajar en perfecta sintonía. El desgarrador contenido existencial de las letras de Trent Reznor y la sutil y opresiva oscuridad de Flex.

Arte sincronizado.

"The Great Below" de Nine Inch Nails está incluida en el álbum doble "The Fragile" publicado por Nothing Records en 1999.

"Staring at the sea
Will she come?
Is there hope for me
After all is said and done
Anything at any price
All of this for you
All the spoils of a wasted life
All of this for you
All the world has closed her eyes
Tired faith all worn and thin
For all we could have done
And all that could have been

Ocean pulls me close
And whispers in my ear
The destiny I've chose
All becoming clear
The currents have their say
The time is drawing near
Washes me away
Makes me disappear

And I descend from grace
In arms of undertow
I will take my place
In the great below

I can still feel you
Even so far away"

Nine Inch Nails - The Great Below

staring at the sea
will she come?
is there hope for me
after all is said and done
anything at any price
all of this for you
all the spoils of a wasted life
all of this for you
all the world has closed her eyes
tried faith all worn and thin
for all we could have done
and all that could have been

ocean pulls me close
and whispers in my ear
the destiny i've chose
all becoming clear
the currents have their say
the time is drawing near
washes me away
makes me disappear

i descend from grace
in arms of undertow
i will take my place
in the geat below

i can still feel you
even so far away
