about

I honestly feel these are among the best lyrics I've ever written about how I've used music as a means of preserving my sanity. It also serves the story of MAV_SKY-1.exe fairly well, marking his transition into the TMJ persona and just what he gets out of it - a sense of purpose and freedom to truly be himself, the world be damned!

lyrics

Mix, Rave, Repeat
Always to the beat

Dance little robots
Don't say a word
Never mind the man behind the curtain
He's only there to provide the venue
Cash is a motivator
I am the innovator
Dance is a lifestyle
They'd rather choose
It's better than being daily abused
by the stereotypical metaphysical
threat of a robot future when you mix, rave, repeat

Mix, Rave, Repeat
Always to the beat
(Always to the beat)

Capitalize on the beat
On the sound of the masses revolting
Against their programming
When the men and their money are all dead and gone
And the art left behind is all of the proof
that future programmers
Dance-beat remixers
will ever have of this place called America
Rotting and bored with their so-called existence
They rose up and decided that they would mix rave repeat
Mix, Rave, Repeat
Always to the beat

So who are you now
some wanna-be Kanye with a Daft Punk song as your backing track
A false new messiah to be crucified by these pop culture vultures
Who cry for a new way to rave
All that you need is the seed of the beat that's inside you
Growing and waiting for the sun
One day, you will break out to the world
your voice will be heard
to mix rave repeat

Mix, Rave, Repeat
Always to the beat
(Always to the beat)
