    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.
