COMBICHRIST – Don’t Care How You Feel About It

“Don’t Care How You Feel About It” is an anthem of personal liberation amidst chaos, encapsulating the rebellious spirit of Combichrist. The lyrics address a human and societal problem that has been discussed by authors such as Maurice Blanchot and Georges Bataille: the impossibility of community.

The impossibility of community arises from an unorthodox philosophical perspective on human existence, which emphasizes individual finitude, death, absurdity, and the limits of communication. Such view is rooted in a rejection of traditional (metaphysical) notions of community as based on unity or shared identity. Instead, Bataille explores a paradoxical and disruptive idea of community, often referred to as the “community of those who have nothing in common.”

Drawing from the concept of désœuvrement (“unworking”, “inoperativeness”, also “unemployment”, “idleness”), Blanchot’s dialogue with thinkers like Georges Bataille and Jean-Luc Nancy highlights how their shared ideas challenge the notion of community as a fixed or positive entity, disrupting its vital illusions by emphasizing issues such as mortality, solitude, absurdity, the negativity of the Other, and how these factors force us to rethink the boundaries of belonging and shared experience. What désœuvrement more irresistible than Combichrist’s?

I got a feeling that is true You know there’s nothing left to do And there is nothing to be told

You know us all, it’s getting old

And there is nothing left to feel We shall see about it There is nothing left to say You’re already nobody You really never had a clue Our start brought nothing to the end A million tears shapes a path I know it’s cold, believe we’re dead

And i don’t really care how You feel about it, Now i got it And all the shackles in my head You always knew about it

How you feel about it how you feel about it How you feel about it how you feel about it How you feel about it how you feel about it How you feel about it how you feel about it How you feel about it how you feel about it How you feel about it how you feel about it How you feel about it how you feel about it How you feel about it how you feel about it

I don’t care how you feel about it There’s nothing really in it for me I don’t care how you feel about it There’s nothing in your world for me

I don’t care how you feel about it There’s nothing really in it for me I don’t care how you feel about it There’s nothing in your world for me

I got a feeling that is true You know there’s nothing left to do And there is nothing to be told You know it all, it’s getting old

And there is nothing left to feel We shall see about it There is nothing left to say You’re already nobody

How you feel about it how you feel about it How you feel about it how you feel about it How you feel about it how you feel about it How you feel about it how you feel about it How you feel about it how you feel about it How you feel about it how you feel about it How you feel about it how you feel about it How you feel about it how you feel about it I don’t care how you feel about it There’s nothing really in it for me I don’t care how you feel about it There’s nothing in your world for me

I don’t care how you feel about it There’s nothing really in it for me I don’t care how you feel about it There’s nothing in your world for me
