Deconstruction is a form of semiotic analysis, derived mainly from work begun by the French philosopher Jacques Derrida in his 1967 book Of Grammatology. Derrida proposed the deconstruction of all texts where binary oppositions are put to work in the construction of meaning and values. The first task of deconstruction, starting with philosophy and afterwards revealing it operating in literary texts and juridical texts, would be to overturn all the binary oppositions of metaphysics (signifier/signified; sensible/intelligible; writing/speech; passivity/activity; etc). According to Derrida, deconstruction should traverse a phase of "overturning" these oppositions. To do justice to this necessity deconstruction starts from recognizing that in a classical philosophical opposition readers are not dealing with the peaceful coexistence of a vis-a-vis, but rather with a violent hierarchy. One of the two terms governs the other (axiologically, logically, etc.), or has the upper hand (signified over signifier; intelligible over sensible; speech over writing; activity over passivity; male over female; man over animal, etc). To deconstruct the opposition, first of all, would be to overturn the hierarchy at a given moment. To overlook this phase of overturning would be to forget the conflictual and subordinating structure of opposition.
Devin Garret Townsend (born May 5, 1972) is a Canadian musician and record producer. He was the founder, songwriter, vocalist, and guitarist in extreme metal band Strapping Young Lad from 1994 to 2007 and has had an extensive career as a solo artist.
After performing in a number of metal bands in high school, Townsend was discovered by a record label in 1993 and was asked to perform lead vocals on Steve Vai's album Sex & Religion. After recording and touring with Vai, Townsend was discouraged by what he found in the music industry, and vented his anger on a solo album released under the pseudonym Strapping Young Lad. He soon assembled a band under the name, and released the critically acclaimed City in 1997. Since then, he has released three more studio albums with Strapping Young Lad, along with solo material released under his own independent record label, HevyDevy Records. Townsend's solo albums, a diverse mix of hard rock and progressive metal, have featured a varying lineup of supporting musicians. In 2002 he formed The Devin Townsend Band, a dedicated lineup which recorded and toured for two of his solo releases.

Ask yourself
Ever put your faith
In a machine
Ever prayed to silicon
Or a static screen
Science as a guiding light
Will not shine eternally
Down with technology
And what little
Future i see
Chorus:
We have failed
Addicted
Dependent
Enslaved
Ask Yourself
Ever regressed
To a remote past
At Rudimentary Altars
Adoring primitive gods
Where is your strenght now
Your instintct to survive
Is there hope for us
With machines ruling
Our Lives
(Chorus x 2)
"Blue screen water it's
not an ocean anymore
it's just a backdrop now
come on la brae bones walk west
bring your water
plant your scenery ramona
map out the dream ...make the desert grow
move out flat don't rise up
one neighborhood
kraft cheese and a cup of joe raw fish in a burrito game show
straight to video in the land of the setting sun
psychotherapy sci-fi religion tit pigs bikini barbell chakra gridlock
don't think just talk jog don't ever walk weight loss talk
radio roll up your windows
private home securities take the streets while the LAPD become blue machines
cop copter spotlights down premiere klieg lights up none of your business
buildings gonna keep you out and keep us in there's a hope downtown
and a mission that feeds en pocas palabras de espera un duelo this is no place
this takes place does your horizon burn I have lived here
my whole life I don't need more stories about your broken midwest
boulevard dreams stars also lie down that street you pretty little town
you sad flower in the sand you pretty little town give me
I am stuck here with a torn up soul that can never
Be mended you, you destroyed my dreams i, i sat
Silently never knowing how much you stole and how
I suffered never knowing incapable of love...
Your smile, your deep brown eyes, your skin so soft
And dark as night your actions made me who i am,
Today i stand here half a man convincing brown eyes,
As dark as night why did you stray from the den and
Take away all my pride deceitful brown eyes, as dark
As night i was blinded, by your beauty your smile,
Your deep brown eyes heart so cold and black as night.
I will never forget you, this pain will never leave my
Memories of you.... of you as for your love, it was
Let me know you
Mr. Morrow
Let me go through
Until Tomorrow
Now
Let me know you
Mr. Morrow
Let me go through
Until Tomorrow
Good bye
Good bye God(x7)
Good bye
Good bye
Seen my eyes

Hope is slipping away
Hope is slipping away
AHHH!
Good bye

Good bye

Seen my eyes
Are Real

Hope is slipping away
Hope is slipping away
AHHH!

All I ever wanted, was you
And I never wanted to know
More than I had to

Ho Krll, Ho Krll
Ho Krll, Ho Krll
Good bye

'Where are you with the brain, y'know i've been studying this thing inside an' out and i really can't get a hold'
'Excuse me, this is my point with the brain, at the end of the day, at the end of the day, You could take anything! ...a benign object of any sort...you could take anything, you could take a cheeseburger and deconstruct it to its source'
Cheeseburger!
Cheeseburger!
Cheeseburger!
Cheeseburger!
Cheeseburger!
Cheeseburger!
Cheeseburger!
Love meat!
I want to eat myself as the flesh of ancient gods!
What's the point of this? Where's the hapPINESS we've been promised?
Drugs sex and money? FINE.
OOOH, THEN I NEED TO GET MYSELF SOME GOOD DRUGS
THEN WHEN I GET THE MONEY...LADIES WILL ALL KNOW THAT I'M THE MAAAANNN...
'CAUSE I AIN'T GONNA BE QUESTING FOR SEX IF I AN'T LIVIN' IN POVERTY AND I AN'T GOT NO DISEASE...
...In fact you could say I was a LOGICAL CHOICE!
WOOAH! Just look at HIM, and look at HER! HA!
Running in the circles and then opening the bar!
BAR'S CLOSED BOYS, I'M AN ARTIST!
So, with art without heart,
We will never know the songs!
(We will never...we will never...)
With art, without heart...
We will never know! we will NEVER KNOW!
'It's just terrifying! ...There's nothing but reality! ...An Infinite void of NOTHING! Where do we fit!? Where's the lines.?!? I can't even find my own mind! ...I CAN'T FIND!'
ENOUGH! I've had it up to here, and I am not afraid of fear!
ENOUGH! I've had it up to here,
...JUST GET IT OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM!
Show me...
So you'd love to run from pain?
So you've gone and you've closed off from god.
...closed off from your true nature in 'I'.
Closed off to your own self!
NOW, on the border of the broken chasm, the infamy of man was stretched along.
Beholding as they descend, and the reign of man is FLEETING!
Enraptured in an illusion in which we all belong,
...And our purpose is acknowledgement of the void?!?
THEN VOID ON ME IN WAVEFORMS!
Did you ever had one of those...those days?
SHIT A BRICK!
(I know, why I know why I know I am...)
(I know, why I know why I know I am...)
Waveforms of waveforms, vibration waveform, way of the waveforms of vibration.
'Here it comes...SHOW ME!'
'Woah! good lord, it's a cheeseburger!'
'...a double!'
ALL BEEF PATTIES, PICKLES ONIONS ON A SESAME SEED BUN!
ALL BEEF PATTIES, PICKLES ONIONS ON A SESAME SEED BUN!
(Oh glorious cheeseburger...we bow to thee. The secrets of the universe are between the buns...)
ALL BEEF PATTIES, PICKLES ONIONS ON A SESAME SEED BUN,
CHEESEBURGER!
'But I don't eat the cheeseburgers guys, I'm a vegi-ma-tarian!'
Hit it!
There's like sex. And then there's like violence. And drugs. And crime. And beach? And God. And breasts. And chapters. And work. And money. And death. And taxes. And fame. And fortune. And ego. And beer.
...do you say beer? Kanpai!
BEER! BEER! BEER!
I would like to discuss something with you...
BULLSHIT!
Bullshit...bullshit...bullshit...bullshit...
IT'S ALL BULLSHIT!
(wanting 'I', wanting 'I'...)
Sorry, I'm sorry...
SO THE WORDS ARE COMING DOWN IN RAINBOWS!
...slow burn, THERE'S NO COVER!
Confused? ...I'M SO ASHAMED!
There's water... SEW WHEY!
FIRE!
CLOUDS FORM OVER THE RAINBOWS OVER TIME!
'oh we're not done yet are we...?'
'scuze me...ok...GO!
YOU'RE IN GOD!
bleauughurgglllagggll!
TAKE YOUR TIME,
TAKE YOUR TIME,
ENJOY THE RIDE...
ALL WE ARE!
I'm standing here waiting here
Hoping for this shit to end
But I can't explain the things
That you have done to me.
I, I changed my mind
This ain't the first time
I'll avenge they have sent me,
All of the answers that I want.
And you know
This ain't the first time
I am my own enemy
Standing here
How could I ever go on
Can you hear me breaking off
Brah a guilty detonation
Do you crave attention.
I I, I swear I try to see
Your honesty, what honesty
And you know
This ain't the first time
I am my own enemy
Standing here
How could I ever go on
Can you hear me breaking off
I found some mantle like specimens we had to explain what we found
But the wasteland, the possibility is
Playing tricks in my mind
So I look away, I look away sometimes
I look away, I look away sometimes
Where is the focus and direction
These cons are draggin' us away
Aimless and numb, just drift along a little while
Just look away, just look away sometimes
It goes away, it goes away sometimes
So come on, let's dissect it
Let's cut it up till it's gone
Let's break it up into pieces,
And throw away what we don't understand
It comes together again, it comes together again somehow
It comes together again, it comes together again yeah
Motives and means, now they seem like a dream within a dream
Concepts and ideas starting soon to be making any sense
Just look away, just look away sometimes
It goes away, it goes away sometimes
So come on, let's dissect it
Let's cut it up till it's gone
Let's break it up into pieces,
And throw away what we don't understand
So come on, let's dissect it
Let's cut it up till it's gone
Let's break it up into pieces,
And throw away what we don't understand
It comes together again, it comes together again somehow
It comes together again, it comes together again somehow
It comes together again, it comes together again somehow
From cradle to the graveBlood all over your hands
Bury you underneath
To cure this disease, just to say
Fuck you
Just look what you've done
Look at what you've become
All your lies are hidden away
I am the one that you wanted to be but you'll
Never be any part of me
Alll your lies are buried away
I am the one that you wanted to be but you'll
Never be any part of me
This injust alive
Trapped under your skin
Try to dig it out but it's jjust to far in cause your
Broken and bruised and lying to yourself
You cannot refuse you will not deny it
We are the truth you can try to fight it
But you will lose
All your lies are hidden away
I am the one that you wanted to be but
You'll never be part of me
All your lies are burried away
I am the one that you wanted to be but
You;ll never be part of me
Standing in front of me (You'll)
The sins of my past buried inside (never be)
Why won't they leave me be
Solace I seek but I am denied (a part of me)
Cries of the innocent (you'll never be a)
Watch as the tears roll from their eyes (part of me)
This is my testament (I am who you used to be)
We talked up all night and came to no conclusion
We started a fight that ended in silent confusion
And as we sat stuck you could hear the trash truck
Making its way through the neighborhood
Picking up the thrown out different from house to house
We get to decide what we think is no good
We're sculpted from youth, the chipping away makes me weary
And as for the truth it seems like we just pick a theory
The one that justifies our daily lives
And backs us with quiver and arrows
To protect openings cause when the warring begins
How quickly the wide open narrows
Into the smallness of our deconstruction of love
We thought it was changing, but it never was
It's just the same as it ever was
A family of foxes came to my yard and dug in
I looked in a book to see what this could possibly mean
Cause there is fate in the breeze and signs in the trees
Possible tragic events
When forces collide with the damage strewn wide
And holes blasted straight through the fence
The sky starts to crash the rain on the roof starts to drumming
And laid out like cash your take on my list of shortcomings
The show starts to close, I know how this goes
The plot a predictable showing
And though it seems grand it's just one speck of sand
And back to the hourglass we're going
Back to the smallness of our deconstruction of love
We thought it was changing, but it never was
The fallen that dreams suicide,
Takes the needle, instead of the gun,
The victim herself crucifies, can't realize,
Christ is a weapon, that chisels at our lives.
Deconstruction!
The martyr takes his aim and wounds the holy man,
And on the eighth day God made the art of war,
And laughing, planned the end...
Who will tend the garden, when the snake swallows the light?
Who will eat the decay, when the worms have lost their sight?
Who will rape the weak, when there's nothing left to gain?
Who will till the soil of these barren black remains?
Deconstruction!
Who will lick my wounds, when they take away my speech?
Will you stand in line, while the shepherd hunts his sheep?
Could you see tomorrow, if I took away your eyes?
Can you crawl from under, new age prophecies despise...
Deconstruction!
Deconstruct my reality, and let me slip away...
I am the dark.
Who will tend the garden, when the snake swallows the light?
Who will eat the decay, when the worms have lost their sight?
Who will rape the weak, when there's nothing left to gain?
Who will till the soil of these barren black remains?
Deconstruction!
Deconstruction!
Our world is in deconstruction...
Our world...
Say me mister officer, what is it that you want from me?
I'm just another brick in this fascist regime society
I stand naked and abused
Utopian idealist breaking ways for all to see
Deconstructed patterns manifest in broken helpless souls
Inspiration draws us all from amused, abused, and disconnect
Suspicion and coalition hold their hands when trust is gone
Satan is amused
If (?)
descended from above
The altruistic ones
Would cherish in their hearts
Decide and conduct
Correct your misconduct
Be brave and be strong
Hold (?) wrong
Definition of your mission is (rules of?) glass eternally
Tell me why then I am unaffected by your gravity
One after the other, the Banished Ones fled as they watched from the distance the destruction of the Digital Garden. With no more fruit 2 bear from its trees, the Haze was finally broken. With the rains came the awareness that NEVER AGAIN WOULD ANYONE EVER LAY CLAIM 2 THE TREASURES OF THE RAINBOW CHILDREN! As though awakened from a dream, the Muse opened her eyes.this time as Queen
I see this look, I see this sad look.
And all I do, and all I seem to do.
I just adopt the same face, the same face
Reaction floored (there's nothing there).
And it's always the same.
Torn apart, scratching down.
It's all there and it's all there.
And if I don't then It won't tell me how to feel.
Fleeting through, clenching down.
Blatant connection - connection.
And it's always the same.
My scars define you and I feel you pushing down.
It's all there and it's all there.
I will not be forced down, and I see past this rage.
Take this - you take this, and it's all the same
