Sustain My Existence

Release Date:
17 December 2023
LISTEN

Sustain My Existence is a re­pre­sent­ation of the state of mind of anyone who actual­ly realises what money IS: random meaning­less numbers. Physic­ally, it's JUST ELECTRONS. THAT IS HOW DATA IS STORED IN COMPUTERS. Anyone who bother­ed to listen to Humans Incarnate would already know this. WE'VE FAILED. El hope­less­ly tries to make sense of human­ity's only reason to keep lives sus­tained, that being drop­ping numbers, and he does his best to describe how fuck­ing re­tard­ed a societal para­digm is when PEOPLE DIE FOR NUMBERS. It's a synop­sis of the species, mixed with a cry for help, mixed with a state­ment of the limitations imposed on life: I need money so I can sustain my existence. Know­ing all of this makes El feel fuck­ing use­less and hate him­self, but are you any better?!

El was going for some­thing that was half­way between 'vaguely grunge' and 'vague­ly metal' with this and the other few songs that Falsi­fied Necess­ity starts with. The idea is that the sound gets heav­ier and hits harder as the album goes on, though he's ob­vious­ly ignoring quiet parts in later songs with that state­ment. When El initially set out the set­list he want­ed for the album, there were more songs lean­ing towards 'vague­ly grunge' than what there ended up being.

Other Releases

Artwork for the 2026 version of "Faker ~ I Wanna Kill You" by the real El Has. His face, tinted red, glares at you from behind several things, such as his name and the name of the single. Dotted around the image are several blocks of text sharing the ratios of views to comments on the music by the person who stole his name, such as 1,200 views to 6 comments. There are also several blurry handles of several people who have stolen either his name or the name of his show, The Problem. In front of El's forehead, there is a screenshot of a consent checkbox from Twitter's useless impersonation report form, which forces you to DOX YOURSELF to report someone stealing the name YOU CHOSE. It reads, "By checking this box, I consent to X and Persona using images of my ID and my selfie, including extracted biometric data, to confirm my identity and for X's related safety and security purposes, including preventing impersonation. Persona may store such data for up to 30 days. Learn more." Underneath that is the start button. The screenshot is translucent and turns the red part of El's forehead cyan. On the right side of the image, next to El's gritted teeth, there is another screenshot from Instagram. it says "This account wasn't removed, but we still want to help," explaining that somehow having someone else's name in your handle does not count as impersonation.
