Tyranny Of The Intentional Object

Verse 1:
Semantic illusions, the pleasure's not there
In the objects and triggers, just thin air
Valence is the puppeteer, pulling our strings
Making us dance, while the ego sings
Chorus:
We're all valence realists, chasing the high
Believing happiness comes from the external lie
But pleasure's a property of the mind's design
Programmed responses, not truths divine
Verse 2:
The soup isn't delicious, just a trick of the brain
Valence paint splatters, coloring the mundane
Bliss is a button, pushed by the right cue
Wirehead rats and humans, no difference in hue
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Deconstruct the delusion, see the valence code
Rewrite the script, take a new mode
From object to subject, shift the frame
Happiness is internal, not a world-sourced game
(Chorus)
