	Story Behind the Song The words to this song were adapted from the writings of Jean-Paul Sartre. In it, I embed my belief that the most powerful consequence of our proposed transcendence will be the unleashing of true human free will, not the seriously diluted version of will that we currently struggle to exert. Lyrics What Matters Words adapted by Scott Badger from the writings of Jean Paul Sartre Music written, produced and performed by Scott Badger This is the thrust of our existence We all make what we will be. We are what we conceive; What we will ourselves to be In our struggle to be free. Where is the center of desire? Is it all within my self? But the self is like a child: Like a thing that’s running wild. Longing to be something else. The transcendence of the ego. The transcendence of the self. The transcendence of our limits. What matters? What matters? What matters? Little else. What kind of thing will I become? Can the me inside remain? Will I ever recall, any part of me at all Will we all seem quite insane We who want to be the gods Where gods can not be found Freedom, freedom, life without end Raise your voices to the sound The transcendence of the ego. The transcendence of the self. The transcendence of our limits. What matters? What matters? What matters? Little else. Man without limits Man without fear Man without mythos This man is almost here. The transcendence of the ego. The transcendence of the self. The transcendence of our limits. What matters? What matters? What matters? Little else.
