Mimetic Desires Lyrics

We all live in a world of mimetic desires

and we don't, we don't, we don't want to get free.
We are caught in a net of triangular desires

and we can't discontinue alien threads we weave.

We crave others' words, dreams, inspirations.

We steal others' lives, loves, admiration.

Lies fend for pride, feed s*****sh hunger,

jealousy, hate and disdain.

Is mimetic life our destination
Will we ever be ourselves?

We've got lost in a maze of

deceptive, sly symmetries;

we can't, we can't, we can't find the way out.

We've got stuck in a maze of insidious geometries.
Triangular desires are a fatal trap.

Let's find own thoughts, words, connotations.

Let's not repeat foreign incantations.

We don't want to be desired by others

Let's have our dreams and be free.

Mimetic life is not a destination...

Let's try to be ourselves.
