about

"Indifferent Gods" is about being so confident in one's persona, so assured of one's place in the human pecking order, that they don't even consider that the cosmos and Deep Time aren't one bit aware of them. It's a painful potentiality, and to some, an unwavering truth. If the Great Old Ones are indifferent, why would we be so concerned about our place and identity here?

lyrics

Take the whole vibe that the Grinch had, add a little synth pad; that’s your scene
Numinous zephyr in the basement,
the bitterness is nascent, but you don’t know yet what I mean
You will brag about it in the morning, the data needs sorting; do that soon
You think your persona is cementing?
The Thelemites are renting out a conference room and bumping tunes
You’re walking so fast!
Do you know where you’re going?
Your moment passed, the spell is cast, you’re paralyzed, your yellow belly’s showing

The Great Old Ones, they are indifferent
You should be thinking, “Why am I acting any different, different?”
Every one of your footfalls, seeming like a good call at that time
You don’t see the strings on your ankles,
wrists, and your brain cells; you’re not the first word, but the rhyme
On a track at the airport, but you wouldn’t dare court thoughts like that
You’ve been running ‘round all the bases
What you need to face is, you will never hold the bat
You’re quitting every job; you think that you’re above it
You’re gonna send it back, I know you’re gonna send it back if you don’t love it

The Great Old Ones, they are indifferent
You should be thinking, “Why am I acting any different, different?”
