I think this may be my favorite Machinae Supremacy song of all time. The lyrics describe my philosophy on how life should be lived, so I connect strongly with it. The music is really high energy. The SID part is unstoppable. The song just gets me pumped up and inspired to live each day to its fullest.
Conformity is tainted
by the mark of mediocrity
I never want to be a statistic
Another life unmade and put into the ground
In living a "safe" life fearing social rejection, you will live and die without ever having realized your potential to be exceptional.
I will live forever,
I refuse to fade away into the never
I won't wait for heaven,
I will leave my mark right here on earth instead
Do what you love, and create a legacy that lives on beyond your death. You yourself are mortal, but what you create is eternal.
Don't bother with the jilted
I cast my ripples in eternity
Prepare to count me more than once,
as I echo on in future minds
There will always be negative people; ignore them. In pursuing your dream, your work will inspire others to do the same, which is a reward far greater than anything you can attain leading a "normal" life.
Find your passion and pursue it. Step outside your comfort zone if necessary. Be larger than life. Become a legend.
My passion is filmmaking. What's yours?
