about

My themed Jarith albums have been getting less ambiguous as they go, and that sort of manifests as I better understand my own feelings.

Zero City was pretty vaguely about feeling trapped and confused no matter what I'm doing
Solikamsk was about depression and self-loathing borne of that
Paper Mill was about coping with these feelings and coming to terms with myself, even if that meant emotionally isolating myself
Ego Death was about eliminating all the negativity in my life so that I can begin to feel better
I'm still out here, somewhere. was about getting kicked out of my family home after finding the things that made me feel better, be it that those things were dedicating time and emotional energy to my friends over my family and, more importantly, coming out as transgender.

This album is these themes coming to a head.

I've tried to do an okay job in my power electronics project, Ragk, of not making everything about being trans, because too often is that used as a creative crutch. I haven't been entirely successful in that but I've up until this point kept it out of my Jarith albums, at least in a blatant sense. At some point, though, all of the Jarith albums that mean anything are about the feelings elicited by being trans. Screaming about it gets old, I don't feel like expressing the feelings I do in Jarith projects in the Ragk style. Being vague about it gets old, I feel like these themes go over heads sometimes. This is blatant. This is classic Jarith, this is new Jarith, this is a little bit of everything. It's as reasonable as it is strange, as challenging to listen to as it is easy to have in the background. It really is the culmination of everything I've been building on since the release of Zero City.

In short, the message is clear:
I am my own fucking person
I don't care what you think of that
I'm going to live my life the way I want to live it
And you don't have a say in that
I'm not gonna let god tell me who I am
I'm not gonna let god define me
I'm going to be my own god
I am going to define myself
I AM MY OWN FUCKING PERSON
SELF-DISCOVERY
自己発見
