[Spoken word]
\nThe Logic of Exclusivity:
\nIn formal logic and language, black and white form a contradictory pair because an object cannot possess both qualities in the exact same way at the exact same time.<\/p>\n
[Intro]
\nPick a side
\nDraw the line
\nSignal fades
\nBetween design<\/p>\n
Static pressure
\nBinary sound
\nOne goes up
\nOne goes down<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nFormal systems separate
\nContradictory states
\nPresence here excludes the rest
\nLogic pushes every test<\/p>\n
Silence breaks when speakers rise
\n(Truth divides through opposite sides)
\nNo collision without strain
\n(No distinction without name)<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nTwo conditions
\nCannot stay
\nIdentical
\nThe same way<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nThe logic
\n(Of exclusivity)
\nThe music
\n(Or found sound)
\nYou can’t be quiet
\n(And loud)
\nQuite right!<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nShout it out:
\n(Black or white)
\nShout about:
\n(Wrong or right)<\/p>\n
[Instrumental Break: Metallic Percussion, Tape Glitches, Feedback Swells, Heavy Kick Pulse]<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nSwitches flip from on to off
\nSharp distinctions cut across
\nCold division frames the view
\nFalse or valid, red or blue<\/p>\n
Language forms through contrast lines
\nMeaning lives where tension binds
\nOne condition disallows
\nWhat its opposite avows<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\nDarkness cancels incoming light
\nNoise disrupts the silent night
\nContradictions lock the gate
\nMutual limits shape the state<\/p>\n
A thing cannot both stand and fall
\nIn the same regard at all
\nLogic builds from boundaries drawn
\nNight departs when comes the dawn<\/p>\n
[Build Section: Layered Chant Vocals, Intensifying Bass Sequence, Rhythmic Static Noise]<\/p>\n
Choose a frame
\n(Name the side)
\nSeparate
\n(Divide divide)<\/p>\n
Signal split
\n(Into form)
\nConflict shapes
\n(The norm)<\/p>\n
[Final Chorus]
\nThe logic
\n(Of exclusivity)
\nThe music
\n(Or found sound)
\nYou can’t be quiet
\n(And loud)
\nQuite right!<\/p>\n
[Final Refrain]
\nShout it out:
\n(Black or white)
\nShout about:
\n(Wrong or right)<\/p>\n
Truth divides
\n(Left and right)
\nMeaning forms
\n(Through contrast lines)<\/p>\n
[Outro: Bass Slowly Fades, Distant Echoed Voices, Mechanical Hum Dissolves]<\/p>\n
One or zero
\nNear or far
\nBoundaries define
\nWhat things are<\/p>\n
[Silence]<\/p>\n
