THE CONDITIONING
Lyrics By: J.G. Argo ©2026 [Intro – Before Instruction] No name for it yet Only breath Only unshaped thought [Verse 1 – Formation] They didn’t take it all at once They changed it piece by piece A line removed A meaning rewritten Until nothing felt released Allegory turned into literal law Inner made to stand outside The world inside became an object They could define and divide [Pre-Chorus 1] Say it again Make it clean Take the edge Out the meaning Say it again Till I don’t feel What was real [Chorus 1 – MEMORY CONTROL] Don’t remember who you were Don’t remember what you knew It’s already in the shape of you Say it again Don’t resist Say it again You don’t exist Less of me and more of Him Die to yourself, let it begin Call it love, call it release Till the self dissolves in peace This is the conditioning It replaces you [Verse 2 – System Expansion] They gathered what was spoken And decided what would stay What was living became narrowed Till only one voice could play Allegory becomes commandment Meaning becomes control What was inward interpretation Becomes law inside the soul [Pre-Chorus 2] Say it again Make it obey Take what it meant And smooth it away Say it again Until it stays Like it was always Meant this way [Chorus 2 – PERCEPTION LOCK] Don’t remember who you were Don’t remember what you knew It’s already in the shape of you Say it again Don’t resist Say it again You don’t exist This is the conditioning Your perception is not free [DROP – CHANT DISTORTION / BASS COLLAPSE] Less of me… more of Him… (detuned / split) Die to yourself… die to—die to— Call it love… call it—call it— Say it again (desynced) Don’t resist (echo collapse) Bass drops out completely You don’t exist… (whisper void) This is the conditioning… (glitching restart failure) this is—this is—this is— [FINAL CHORUS – BREAKDOWN FRACTURE] Don’t remember… who you were Don’t remember… what you knew Say it again Say it again Don’t resist… don’t resist Less of me… more of Him Die to yourself… die to— You don’t exist You don’t exist You don’t— It replaces you It replaces you It replaces— [Outro – After System Failure] Only fragments remain Trying to repeat control But something underneath it Was never rewritten
