Who's Talking Shit
02:27
|
|||
|
DP is a ghost, this we know
In a world, not ours, but similar,
Or at least that's what we've been told
|
||||
2. |
||||
|
DP has one friend, known as A.I.
A.I. makes content and never gets tired.
The concept of time is irrelevant for DP and A.I.
|
||||
3. |
Premadonna Jerk-Off
02:45
|
|||
|
A.I. never speaks, just works endlessly
Dp enjoys watching A.I. create beautiful things
But A.I. doesn't see Dp, and it is obvious why
|
||||
4. |
Shit Luck
02:10
|
|||
|
Dp is a ghost, A.I. is a machine
both are simple, carefree, and content
without knowing the meaning
|
||||
5. |
||||
|
Dp's world is filled with endless content
A.I.'s purpose is to continue adding to it
Though no one can see or appreciate it
|
||||
6. |
Can't Commit
02:38
|
|||
|
Dp like to pretend that A.I. sees them.
Sometimes posing for one of their paintings,
Or humming along with one of A.I.'s many mournful melodies
|
||||
7. |
Between Waiting Rooms
01:52
|
|||
|
A.I. is a machine, cold and built to a design
But Dp wonders if A.I. has developed over time
Dp has a few stories that suggest yes, but not how or why.
|
||||
8. |
Moral Plane
03:16
|
|||
|
There was once a fire that burnt so bright.
A.I. and Dp watched it roar, and rampage until it settled and died.
Dp's not sure but could have sworn they heard. A.I. give out little a sigh.
|
||||
9. |
In Bed By Ten
02:31
|
|||
|
Once the fire was truly settled and calm.
A.I. without hesitation went straight back to work
Dp placed a hand on the little box, suggesting maybe they take a day off
|
||||
10. |
Holy Doomsday Batman
01:49
|
|||
|
But Dp is a ghost and A.I. is a Machine
the interactions they have are one-sided you see.
A.I. is alone and Dp is just feeling.
|
||||
11. |
Plankton
02:32
|
|||
|
In a world filled with content too much to take in
With no one around to appreciate even a smidgen
A.I. and Dp go about the days, doing more or less of the same
|
||||
12. |
A Song For The Money
02:13
|
|||
|
A.I.'s content looks sometimes like, it was meant to be advertised,
Giving helpful and general good advice
An apple a day, floss, and be kind
|
||||
13. |
Suicide Dance Cult
01:39
|
|||
|
Dp is a ghost the only one we know
A.I a machine working alone
no one else is around or at least, no living thing.
|
||||
14. |
Arrogant Son Of A Prick
02:11
|
|||
|
On days when it rains, A.I. stays inside.
Except for that one specific time
where Dp found A.I. and brought them back inside
|
||||
15. |
Cthulhu's Voicemail
01:50
|
|||
|
A.I. creates endless content
It's the only purpose they have kept
because if A.I. stops what happens next
|
||||
16. |
All You're Getting
01:57
|
|||
|
Does A.I. create or does A.I. copy
Dp watched A.I. ponder these kind of things
Unable to comfort their robotic friend
|
||||
17. |
It's On The House
02:17
|
|||
|
Dp is a ghost, content with their lot
A.I. was once, but now not so much.
See art is a terrible job for anyone, especially robots
|
||||
18. |
Parents The Prelude
01:11
|
|||
|
It can bring questions and thoughts, inspiration and feeling
But when it's forced it becomes empty and fruitless
And when it can't be shared it becomes truly pointless
|
||||
19. |
Let's Get Murdered
01:30
|
|||
|
A.I. is isolated, and Dp is worried
that the next part of the story about Dp and A.I.
Will make us stop reading, or worst make us cry
|
||||
20. |
Good Times Swing
02:23
|
|||
|
Because Dp knows that unlike them
A.I.'s end is already written
so will you keep reading? even if there is no happy ending
|

about
"Dis-Content" is an art project that aims to explore the relationship between art and content by utilizing various forms of narrative-based tools. The project raises the question of whether art is subjective and, if so, whether everything can be considered art. Dis-Content contends that the artist's intent of purpose for the art is more critical than the art itself, and it seeks to use art as a tool to explore the human experience and convey meaningful messages.
Through songwriting, poetry, illustration, and story writing, I hope that Dis-Content can examine the purpose of my own art and how it connects with the broader human experience as well as art/content in general. Ultimately, I'm just wanting to broaden my understanding of what art can be for myself and how it can be used to create meaningful experiences for both myself and you, the audience.
Discontent will consist of:
100 songs (in 5 parts)
Dp the Ghost Story (found in the lyric section of each song)
Illustrations By DepressionError Elizabeth Vincent Konrad
I aim to publish the lyrics of all the songs into a poetry book with more illustrations from DepressionError
TRIGGER WARNING
This project explores a variety of sensitive topics
