LYRICS
Well, what can I do?
Well, what can I do?
Okay, yes
We are bored
We're all bored now
But has it ever occurred to you
The process that creates this boredom
That we see in the world now
May very well be
A self-perpetuating
Unconscious form of brainwashing
Created by a world totalitarian government
Based on money
And that all of this
Is much more dangerous than one thinks?
And it's not just a question
Of individual survival
But that somebody who's bored is asleep
And somebody who's asleep will not say no
See, I keep meeting these people
I mean, just a few days ago
I met this man that I greatly admire
He's a Swedish physicist
And he told me that he no longer watches television
He doesn't read newspapers
And he doesn't read magazines
He's completely cut them out of his life
Because he really does feel
That we're living
In some kind of Orwellian nightmare now
And that everything that you hear now
Contributes to turning you into a robot
When I was at Findhorn
I met this extraordinary English tree expert
Who had devoted his life to saving trees
84 years old and he always travels with a backpack
Because he never knows
Where he's gonna be tomorrow
When I met him at Findhorn and he said to me
"Where are you from?"
And I said, "New York."
He said, "Ah, New York.
Yes, that's a very interesting place.
Do you know a lot of New Yorkers who keep talking about the fact that they want to leave but Never do?"
And I said, "Oh, yes."
And he said, "Why do you think they don't leave?"
I gave him different banal theories.
He said, "Oh, I don't think it's that way at all."
He said, "I think New York is the new model for the new concentration camp
Where the camp
Has been built
By the inmates themselves
And the inmates are the guards
And they have this pride
In this thing they built.
They built their own prison
And so they exist
In a state of schizophrenia
Where they are both guards and prisoners
And as a result
They no longer have
Having been lobotomized
The capacity to leave
The prison they've made
Or to even see it as a prison."
And then he went into his pocket
And he took out a seed for a tree
And he said
"This is a pine tree."
Put in my hand and he said
"Escape before it's too late."
Escape before it's too late
Escape before it's too late
We should get out.
Get out of here
Escape before it's too late
Escape before it's too late
Escape before it's too late
This is the beginning
Of the rest of the future now
Escape before it's too late
See, actually for two or three years now
Chiquita and I have had this very unpleasant feeling
That we really should get out
And we really feel like Jews in Germany in the late '30s
Get out of here
Of course, the problem is where to go
Because it seems quite obvious
That the whole world is going in the same direction
See, I think it's quite possible
That the 1960s represented
The last burst of a human being
Before he was extinguished
And that this is the beginning
Of the rest of the future now
That from now on
There'll simply be all these robots walking around
Feeling nothing
Thinking nothing
And there'll be nobody left almost
To remind them
That there once was a species
Called a human being
With feelings and thoughts
And that history and memory
Are right now being erased
And, soon, nobody will really remember
That life existed on the planet
Escape before it's too late
Escape before it's too late
We should get out.
Get out of here
Escape before it's too late
Escape before it's too late
Escape before it's too late
This is the beginning
Of the rest of the future now
Escape before it's too late

Even though "My Dinner with Andre" isn't even close to being a cyberpunk film, this dialogue would fit right in with any sort of cyberpunk themed story. Your style of music really brought that mood out and I loved it.
Thank you. That’s exactly how it felt to me 🙏
New artistic heights
🙏🙏🕺🙏🙏
You hit the nail on the head. This video is great.
Thank you Akira. I thank God for you most days. Keep on buggering on. 💜
I solemnly swear I shall
i need this on a 1 hour loop
I did that after I first made it
Damn this was good. Loved the expression on the listener's face just stunned.
😳
We are that listener
Bless you Akira! thank you for your work!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
who else just loves the wave, the meaningwave. ride the wave brothers, sisters, and the spectrum from masculine to the goddess feminine.
🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
TFW You've been living that Swedish Physicist life for over 15 years and are now flowing so powerfully you end up on the other side of the world enjoying the latest prophetic drop from the Wavemaster himself.
Im from NYC and this is so true. Most new yorkers want to leave but theres no place to go.
Depends what you believe in, are you a Libertarian? Do you believe in private property rights?
@@Machiones im independent and i believe in God and private everything
My dinner with andre is a fucking masterpiece.
Its absolutly incoceivable to think its not!
Breaking away from the deceptive grip of Babylon is absolutely essential, but eventually I saw that there is nothing to fear or escape from, as long as I'm diving heartfirst into God's will, to be where I'm needed. I'm riding this Meaningwave head on into the Apocalypse: the great unveiling. Thanks again brother. Your work has been essential in my journey.
My brother, your music lifts my mood so much and it gives so much clarity in life. Thank you for what you do 🙏🙏
Thank you for being here!
My jaw dropped
WOW
🙏
Might just be my favorite video of all time on this platform. Short sweet and straight to the point
🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
So wonderfully M I X E D, blessings. 🎧
🙏🙏🙏
Great editing on this video too!
Thank you Dr Spleen!
Dinner with Andre, awesome!
For the past 5 years when someone asks me what kind of music do you like or who is your favorite artist I always reply “do you know who akira the don is?” (And then I answer myself) “of course he’s amazing!” Then start a playlist full of meaningwave!
That’s cos you are smart and wise 🥰
I escaped New York but I miss the good times there too. It’s an undeniable story. This was a fantastic film and music video . I escaped to the dirty Jersey Shore but I want to go upstate again and watch the world burn from cabin with my family . But then again I do t want that I just want to peace and quiet I get at 11☕️am 3:30 pm 7 pm and 9:45 pm. Every. Day and Night of my blessed life. 🙏 Amen
Jersey Shore is better than nothing! What made you pull the trigger on leaving?
Nice choice to sample this, love this movie. Wish there were more of these types of movies where they simply have a conversation and you get sucked into without too much going on, its done in such magnificent way while conveying a lot of deep truths.
Podcast as movie format 🥰
@@akirathedon Yess, but then litterally formated to be watched as a movie with feelings of a begin, middle and end. Got me thinking about Midnight gospel, which is sort of the same concept.
Love my BROS VERY MUCH, YES. DON'T LOOK BACK.
Spotify DJ played this for me this morning and it stood out in the mix :)
👌👌👌👌👌
IMHO The Best Track Of The Year. This is debugging slaves for sure. Too Much Fucking Truth. All hail The Don
👊👊👊👊👊👊
Çok güzel akilcikmis çıkmıyor öpüyorum güzel seninleyim saygıymış hayranlık öp keşke guzelcik dudaktan opulmuski güzel sarkilar
Wonderful Banger as always Akira, Thank you for your contributions.
Your music just keeps on making me better. Thanks bro.
DE NADA!
I’m not even sure what this genre of music even is, but I’m absolutely in love with it thanks to Akira the Don!
Iono about the genre , but the psychotechnology is MEANINGWAVE 👊👊👊👊👊
@@akirathedon been listening for a few years but never really thought about it! Thank u! It’s deffo unique, but these songs bring instant comfort to me😊 can’t wait for to see what you come up with next 🤯
praise be
🙏
Damn, boy, I always recommend this film 😊 ❤
What movie is this?
Inconceivable
🌹
I remember when you had the Quentin Experiment on! very cool keep up the creative fire!
Shouts out to Experiment Quentin all day!
This is so freakin' cool I love it Akira !!
Cheers my brother 👊
Shecky
@@chadcomstock8789 brother Chad !!
Life goes on, brothers and sisters, and you are in charge of yours.
God Bless you Akira!
🙏🙏🙏
Fly you fools!!!
Yep. Real & True.
🔑🙏
Please make more videos like this!
Glory!!
🙏
Oh damn. New certified banger. Great job
Fantastic!
This was great. Made me think of Jed McKenna's stuff. Looking forward to Nightengale!
Cultures are hive-mind personalities, sometimes they get pathological and self-harming.
Human beings are bound by history having to escape endlessly from their flawed selves.
Akira seems to have this ability to see more shine of meaning into our mysteriously patterned world than most people.
Meaniwave is my goldmine of motivation, each time I find a new song I understand, I need to hear it x10 times to extract its precious orienting juice.
✨🙏✨
Incredible as always
My Dinner with Akira
🥰
This is a really interesting movie and that's the most memorable scene. It's surprising but also really cool to see this used to make a song. Cheers.
🙏🙏🙏
That was top notch
🙏🙏🙏
This is awesome, love your work.
Thank you!
Yeah man, excellent content, packaging, & delivery!
The pendulum is now swinging the other way
👏👏👏
Amazin
🙏🙏🙏

🙏🙏🙏
Its the grand nagus!
the new format works, enjoyable AF

Akira. Great job. The timing on the cuts are spot on. The beat is pre-per-perfect.
GRACIAS HERMANO
Yoooo, I'm glad I paused the MEANINGSTREAM Party to listen. I'm so glad I did, thank you!
❤❤❤
Very thankful, you got around to working with this movie!
🙏
My Dinner with Andre
Man,I’ve been say this for YEARSSSS
I’ve escaped🧘🏿♂️
Finding a fail in all his library challenge: impossible
👌👌👌👌
BOOOOOOOOMmmmm - ATD in tune with the logos --- salutations amigo!
🙏👊👊
Haaaaaaa ,,,,,look😊
Awesome dude, this was great. Inspired me to hunt the movie down and watch it, it was very good. I also enjoyed their discussions revolving around the dangers of comfort, and receding into a dream detached from reality. Cheers, and beware the electric blanket!
🙏🙏🙏

Is there even any place left to escape to :(
Find the answer within 🙏
You know how Adult Swim brought back old cartoon network cartoons?
That's the escape. The escape in our minds. That just for a while, we can feel like kids again.
That and playing Playstation. Soon it be like Ready Player One.
Ow
Oof. This kinda pains me a lil bit. Ouch.
Dinner with Andre
Hey what is that first movie/film/tv sample I saw it used in 2015 by shamana but never found out what it was
My Dinner With Andre (1981)
They tried to tell us...
What film is this monologue from?
LFG
🥰
Do you think this is what mattafix was talking about?
@It'sAGundam bro this song was made for you.
what is the name of the movie
My Dinner With Andre (1981)
another banger, much love from alaska. the last frontier wishes you well.
I think the video deserves to be interspersed with clips from Escape from New York.
That’s a whole other banger
Jamaica was the only place I could feel like the world made sense. Anarchists. Lol oh well.
Their is no "escape".
First

@@akirathedon I'm a simple man- I see a song released by AtD with a new muse, I click it.
