Hope to see you there!
He was a voice of truth and humour
A prophet of the absurd and the sublime
He challenged us to see beyond the illusion
And to embrace the reality of our minds
He told us that life is just a ride
A thrilling adventure of ups and downs
But we don’t have to be afraid or hide
We can laugh and love and turn it around
But he also hinted at a deeper mystery
That we are not just passengers on this ride
We are also the creators of our own history
The architects of the amusement park inside
We have the power to shape our experience
To design the attractions and the rules
We can make it a place of joy or violence
We can be the wise or the fools
So let us honour his legacy and vision
By remembering his words and his smile
And let us follow his example and mission
To make this ride worthwhile
Bill Hicks was a stand-up comedian and satirist who died in 1994 from pancreatic cancer. He often tackled controversial topics such as religion, politics, and philosophy in his dark and ironic humour. Some of his great philosophical quotes are:
“It’s just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It’s only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love.”
“The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it’s real because that’s how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it’s very brightly coloured, and it’s very loud, and it’s fun for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, ‘Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?’ And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, ‘Hey, don’t worry; don’t be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride.’ And we … kill those people.”
“I’m not really here to make you laugh. I’m here to make you think.”
One of his most famous routines was about life being “just a ride” in an amusement park, where we can choose to enjoy it or be scared by it, but ultimately, it has no consequences. Many commentators have interpreted this theme as a form of existential nihilism, where nothing matters and everything is absurd.
However, others have seen it as a liberating and empowering message, where we can create our own meaning and values, and not be constrained by the illusions and expectations of society. Some have even compared Hicks to a Zen master, who used humour and paradox to awaken people from their ignorance and suffering.
What can we learn from this philosophy? Perhaps we can learn to be more aware of our own choices and actions, and how they affect ourselves and others. Perhaps we can learn to appreciate the beauty and wonder of existence, without taking it too seriously or attaching to it too much. Maybe we can learn to laugh at ourselves and our problems, and not let them overwhelm us. Perhaps we can learn to be more compassionate and tolerant of others, who are also on their own rides. Potentially, we can learn to enjoy the ride, while it lasts.

Though you are in towers raised high
Vie with one another, in good works
By the token of time through the ages
Vie with one another, in good works
Verify, man is in lust
Except that which have faith
And do righteous things
And join together, in mutual teachings of truth
And of patience
And of constancy
Give glad tidings to those who patiently proceed
Though you are in towers raised high
Vie with one another, in good works
Shall have the reward thereof
And who so interveneth in an evil cause</span>
Will bear the consequences thereof
By the token of time through the ages
Though you are in towers raised high

This is the resource page for The Alice Syndromes audio track and video, Full spectrum domination This is the resources page for The Alice Syndrome track Haiku Priestess Download Merchandise George's Blog Potential triggers Lyrics Giant stars collapsed Giant stars collapsed A duality, substance, power The weight of the words lands gently Hurt buried deep to avoid the unbearable Fear and confusion Fear and confusion Slime, seething with spite Unexpected hurt floods system Trinkets of status Trinkets of status The weight of the words lands gently Fear and confusion Fear and confusion Slime, seething with spite Unexpected hurt floods system Trinkets of status Trinkets of status The weight of the words lands gently Fear and confusion Fear and confusion Slime, seething with spite Unexpected hurt floods system Trinkets of status Trinkets of status The lyrics to Haiku Priestess, are a complex and poetic expression of emotions and experiences. The song is divided into four sections, each consisting of three haikus, followed by a chorus that repeats the same four lines. The haikus follow the traditional 5-7-5 syllable pattern, but they also rhyme, creating a musical and rhythmic effect. The first section describes the cosmic origin of existence, using metaphors of giant stars, whirling ghosts, and ripples in time and space. This singer suggests that they are a product of a duality, a substance and a power that are imbalanced and opposite. This sets the stage for the contrast and conflict that will be explored in the rest of the song. The second section focuses on the inner world, describing experiences of a range of emotions and sensations that are overwhelming and sometimes contradictory. Words such as hurt, fear, confusion, pain, pleasure, sensory overload, and shutdown are used to convey intense feelings. The chorus repeats the phrase “the weight of the words lands gently with great impact”, implying an awareness of the power and significance of expression, but that it can also be softened or moderated. The third section shifts to the outer world, where the challenges and threats from others who do not understand or appreciate are explored. There is use of the imagery of slime, spite, tormentors, bleaching, wounds, brash, and rash to enemies and their actions. The song also contrasts values with those of the mainstream society, rejecting trinkets of status and conventional worth. The fourth section repeats the same haikus as the first section. This creates a sense of closure and circularity, but also a subtle change in tone and emphasis. The song is a powerful and creative example of using haiku as a form of lyrical expression. It manages to convey a lot of information and emotion in a concise and structured way, while also creating a musical and poetic effect.
