Radiohead, "Fake Plastic Trees"
Her green plastic watering canFor her fake Chinese rubber plantIn the fake plastic earthThat she bought from a rubber manIn a town full of rubber plansTo get rid of itselfIt wears her outIt wears her outIt wears her outIt wears her outShe lives with a broken manA cracked polystyrene manWho just crumbles and burnsHe used to do surgeryFor girls in the eightiesBut gravity always winsAnd it wears him outIt wears him outIt wears him outIt wearsShe looks like the real thingShe tastes like the real thingMy fake plastic loveBut I can't help the feelingI could blow through the ceilingIf I just turn and runAnd it wears me outIt wears me outIt wears me outIt wears me outAnd if I could be who you wantedIf I could be who you wantedAll the timeAll the time

It's so bizarre. This influencer mentality goes against everything good.
But Fake Plastic Trees is such a good song, and Thom Yorke was so young. :(
Thom Yorke and Radiohead were so far ahead of their time...
It takes a lot of energy to sustain this false hyper-reality we call the "real" world.
the ultimate question about the conditions of life has been posed here, and we confront the first attempt to answer this question by experiment. To what extent can truth endure incorporation? That is the question; that is the experiment. -Nietzsche, "The Gay Science"
the real world, remixed
:)
transgression eternal
