239

El Has encountered a website entitled 239 Apocalypse (or some variation of that) during the events of the previous full album, Humans Incarnate. It claims to 'decrypt the codes to examine the messages Deep State are covertly sending us,' but the claims are invalidated just by what the contents of the site are. Then he made this song, called 239, said as 'Two Three Nine', This song has it all; every reason this is failing to warn anyone of our apparent demise.

The foundation of this attempt to convince us humanity is doomed is because the digits 2, 3 and 9 are often seen together in movies. Apparently it means '2001, 2023 and 2030 are years of significance in our downfall. More on that later.' Right at the beginning, that argument's dismissed because that kind of shit is going to attract the wrong kind of attention. The song continues. If you scroll down the lyrics, you're essentially scrolling down the page, because the next section of both is 'Something something 9/11.' It's been so long that everyone knows no-one believes it was planned. El relays the reason the man behind the website is saying 9/11 was planned: because a tree got run over in a film from the 1980s. It's like he wants us to ignore his valid arguments, and to instead just say that the existence of numbers means anything. If you'd been paying attention and you hadn't LET EVERYTHING EL MADE GET ERASED, you would understand why that's bullshit. That's not the topic of this particular song though.

Back into the action, El further dismantles this terrible argument by moving onto the WWW dot claims, saying the internet's existence is also to blame for our demise. You might be thinking El doesn't think at the very least life's gonna get worse because you never saw a show called What the WEF is Doing. When the stupid voices stop, he's being serious. Anyway, back to phone numbers for a bit. Then more deconstruction of the problem with how you 'resisted' before you stopped bothering at all. This is the idea behind how the lyrics were written. The rest of the song continues in a similar way. Like the only resistance the prelude to the Great Reset got, it spends way too long denying humans' objective sentience, but things El never heard of before encountering 239 Apocalypse are brought up: D.E.Ws and poorly-cited horrifying weapons with no more information because there was none provided. If you want to know more, listen to the full song now. The radio edit omits a few sections.

This song was published in July 2023. Somehow El got the extra week he needed to finish the song (including a radio edit not highlighted on this site) before the summer holidays when once again nobody would shut up or leave. 2023 is one of the years mentioned there, referred to as 'the first year of the Times of Chaos.' Will the doomsaying come true? We'll have to wait and see...

A radio edit is also available.
