lyrics
Il nostro destino è segnato,
obsoleti al nascere, scartati in gioventù,
abbandonati dal demiurgo,
da colui che tutto può,
l'eterno respiro ci è negato.
Va, fiamma eterna,
purifica, diossida e disgrega.
Spargi le nostre polveri al vento.
Va, affinché la nostra vendetta abbia corso,
ira veemente emergi con forza.
Consumati dall'interno con la scadenza già assegnata,
tutti uguali, ammassati in riva al fiume, devastato, come noi.
Condannati al nostro fato, depredati e cannibalizzati.
-----------------------
Translation:
Our fate is sealed
obsolete at birth, dropped in youth,
abandoned by the demiurge,
by the one who can do everything
the eternal breath is denied to us.
Go, eternal flame,
purify, dioxidize and disintegrate.
Spread our dust in the wind.
Go, so that our revenge has progress,
vehement wrath emerge with force.
Consumed from the inside with the deadline already allocated,
all the same, heaped on the river bank, devastated, just like us.
Sentenced to our fate, looted and cannibalized.
Built-in Obsolescence is a journey across the humanity behaviour.
Progress leads to
obsolescence: this view becomes flesh in this band.
INSTAR is the band's first LP, released in 2018. It and contains the darkest truths whose the humanity will be doomed.
Distress, discomfort and inertia.
Built-in Obsolescence is now exploring darker and heavier sounds, getting closer to the post-metal scene....more
