Some thoughts from the Act...revolt...Live booklet
You
are probably asking yourself what these trees mean and what is their
connection with our music and our way of thinking. On first sight
there is none, but if we look closer we can see… they stand in level,
upright, with all their power and energy they rise up to the sky.
Despite of the bigger crowns, that are concealing them, they are still
striving and continue their way. They are being hit by storms, twisted
by winds but still they don't break. And even when their lives are
over there are still traces left behind them… These trees somehow
paint the image of our lives. Just like them we should be striving
for our conviction and our diversity. We must not let others decide
of our lives, because life is only one and you are his proprietor.
It is so valuable to fight for your beliefs, for the meaning of your
lives. Every moment, even if it is lost, has a value…
I
hope you did not buy this disc just because it looks good or you like
our music. Our music is just a way to express our feelings and put
out our opinion about today's post-industrial society won by consumerism
and driven towards racism, homophobia, alienation, sexism and hundreds
of forms of discrimination. It is not the most important part of hardcore/punk
community. We don't want you to blindly agree with everything we say
or do but we want to persuade you to your own power of thinking and
to start using you brain. You must realise that hardcore/punk movement
(counterculture, community) is not about buying and selling. It is
about putting your thoughts and beliefs into words or written language.
We want you to become more self-aware and more tolerant against human
diversities. Of course no tolerance goes to sexism, homophobia, fascism,
racial prejudice, capitalism and other mistakes of human mind. If
you have something to say, if you think that somebody is making this
world shittier than it is already now, stand against them and tell
them what you think and feel. Do not be a sheep do not follow be independent
individual and start using your brain!
