For me personally, it was Gollum from The Lord of the Rings in the middle of the night ready to grab my ankles if I got out of bed. At that age we can’t comprehend that the tension exists inside of us and, in turn, it unconsciously spills out onto other things, real or imagined. This is a clear example of Hegel's “Beautiful Soul” / Freud’s notion of projection. In Hegel’s “Beautiful Soul”, we enter a stage of self-consciousness where we are unable to accept our own “disorder” and project it out into the world. This isn’t something that we grow out of. We grow deeper into it. Freud, talks about this mechanism as projection. We externalize the thoughts, desires, motivations, and feelings that we can’t bear as our own onto other people or groups. The work of French Philosopher, René Girard, on the Scapegoat Mechanism inspired the lyrics “Externalize, annihilate”. With scapegoating, people decide that someone or some group is a “virus” responsible for any host of social issues and when they get rid of that virus “peace can return”. Having a place to point fingers, an “easy” solution, a virus that can be gotten rid of is key. Maybe think of it as projection on a societal scale. The chorus and of the song is inspired by Slovenian philosopher, Slavoj Žižek, and his work on Ontological Incompleteness. We are not somehow split apart from a full, whole, and complete reality that is “out there” by our lack of knowledge or inability to understand it. Rather, split-ness, incomplete-ness, or separated-ness is at the center of Being itself. That is to say, my hope for this song and music video is that you are able to see yourself in this same story and that the confession of the chorus sinks its way into your thoughts next time you’re tempted to “externalize, annihilate”.
