about

Wearing me Out is the climax of the story. In the euphoria of finding a response, the dogmas on which the dominant ideas are built can be broken down. Starting from this concept, it is possible to reconnect with the historical reflection offered by Asimov in “Nightfall”: history is always written from a specific point of view and has to do with who has the power. To change the balance of power, it is cyclically necessary to delegitimize the perspective of others, and in this sense madness, a standardizing and simplistic definition, is a very useful discursive tool.

To delegitimize is to build a discourse of power forged on the dogmas of faith. On this basis, “Opsis” formulates an explanation of the question raised by the great writer in his story.

Is it really the vision of the stars that makes you lose your mind?
Or is it the established power that sacrifices the majority in a destructive palingenesis in order to maintain its supremacy at all costs and under any circumstances?

lyrics

Is it you who feeds the flames
So that everything is kept enlightened?
Or is it you who burns without fire
So that everything is kept in the dark?
It will be a slow road opposing death
To find answers and ignore our fate
Is it you who touches the wall
To wipe off the dust with your hands?
We have never left that room
And we are wearing out…

And now forget the questions
Cause time consumed them.
With euphoria in our blood
We got lost along the way.
the lines that draw
The streets arrive to the observatory
And vanish into thin air.

The fear of the dark emphasizes the flames
And the hearts no longer know
Why they keep beating hard.

And you… are you wearing out?

I don't want to wander
By the secret land
Without uncovering
The garden of your wiles.
Traveling out of time,

Doesn’t belong to me.
Where there is no light
And we’ll be wearing out

Now there is no light
And we have to meet on the way

Words
Hidden words
In the ground,
Dreaming to bloom.
To bloom.
Lose their reason.
You waited a lifetime.
You waited a lifetime

The soul of the sentences
That you wanted to sell me
Were buried over time
They remained afloat
And now we are awake
With the last light of our days

Is it you who feeds the flames
So that everything is kept enlightened?
Or is it you who burns without fire
So that everything is kept in the dark?

No, by now i won’t be wearing out
