Little Rabbit’s current story is elaborated upon, her isolation becoming a power, just as these future beings live through screens and stories rather than flesh and blood forms. The trickster finds power in liminal space and in subverting the power of emotion—the madness of finding the way only to emerge again at the beginning.
lyrics
When I’m alone this is where love goes
bouncing through the universe in song
I’ve changed scenes through the screens,
The stories all shared between
We saw the end of the anthropocene
Every drop of blood lost could I carry on?
These stories passed down to me
And banished from my memories
Hiding the way encoded
In a meager untrustworthy skin
I paint these pictures to tease you
That you might (also) find it within
At the liminal moment
Before the transformation
You could find infinity there
Or just another beginning
No rites, just passage
No one to tell us where to go
When I’m alone this is where love goes
out the pores, into the universe
Where’s the disease, without a body?
for love to wrestle within?
As the void becomes life
I’m slow against space and time
Too soft against a force I don’t believe in
When will nothing be proven?
Must it all be taken away?
Must everything be taken away?
At the liminal moment
Before the transformation
Underwater, seeing stars
Floating by the law
Resisting by a secret song
Returning in a new skin
One we’d desired or sinned against
And forgotten once again
At night the shadows, shadows of your knots
Whipped apart in alarm
Seeing life, no longer in a line
Please don’t tell anyone!
Omnascent, atomized by fear
Little rabbit in the barren field
Pulling shapes I’ve never seen before
Please don’t let her find me anymore!
Where does love go when I’m alone
When the lights go out and the darkness starts to glow
It circles back around, a knife in my side
Please don’t tell anyone!
In the morning I get angles, no one to break them
Soft blue yellow and green
But the angels hoist me up to the fountain,
To feed me, to keep me alive.
At the liminal moment
Before the transformation
Middle Orbit seeking the big sleep
Human seeking the end
