Citizens of Acity!

Today’s piece was written with inspiration from Nietzsche’s concepts of “the mask” and “self-creation.” There is no fixed essence called “I.” The flamboyant shoes and clothes are not tools to hide myself, but rather an artistic state of being reborn anew every moment.

“The mask is me.” For Nietzsche, the mask was not a tool to conceal an essence, but because no such essence exists, the mask itself became the act of self-creation in every moment.

What kind of mask are you wearing right now?

Transcript
00:01At an altitude where the city's roar is crushed beneath my soul
00:10Shards of light sliced and scattered by venetian blind
00:19The 120mm tension surges up from my toes
00:24My height is recorded in numbers
00:28But all I feel is a faint pulse
00:32Desperately resisting the fall
00:34Behind a taxidermied smile
00:37A nameless thirst slosh is silently deep within
00:43Don't stand beneath the perfectly dim lights
00:47Those are just the eyes of others
00:50The me in the mirror
00:53Is layered under multiple membranes
00:58I am being played right now
01:02Like an unstoppable impromptu
01:05A strange trembling that no fixed role
01:09Can ever explain
01:15The mask is me
01:17It's not a veil to hide behind
01:20The ritual of being born anew
01:23Every time I put it on
01:30Their gazes try to carve me into pieces
01:33Don't try to define me with your words
01:36I am not a sentence
01:38I am a breath with no full stop
01:51I'm not before the mirror
01:53Searching for the real me
01:55But I realized the real never existed from the start
02:00The one who collapses is me
02:04The one who stands again is also me
02:09I am being played right now
02:14Like an endless impromptu
02:17This radiant crack that no fixed role
02:21Can ever explain
02:26The mask is me
02:28The mask is me
02:29It's not something to take off
02:30It's something that makes me free
02:33The deeper I wear it
02:40Right here
02:42In this fleeting second
02:45For the first time
02:49I am complete
