I Cut People Miserable Day

I Cut People | Miserable Day

Album Year: 2015

Hopelessness, nothingness, and loneliness are among the many themes I take on in Miserable Day. Constant references to suicide and the absurdity of life overflow into a barrage of fierce polemics. Miserable Day is a testimony through the lens of Nietzsche’s “last man,” to how we go about our lives with nothing to lose, everything to fear, and nothing to expect when we die. Yet, the constant references of death symbolize rebirth. Though mostly dark, it maintains a sense humor throughout, adding a sliver of light to its bleak nihilistic convictions.

“The certain prospect of death could sweeten every life with a precious and fragrant drop of levity; and now you strange apothecary souls have turned it into an ill-tasting drop of poison that makes the whole of life repulsive.”
– Friedrich Nietzsche

“After your death you will be what you were before your birth.”
– Arthur Schopenhauer

“The meaning of life is that it stops.”
– Franz Kafka
