Amazing Song By Protest the Hero from the album Fortress

Lyrics:

Endowed with the art of casting names upon its being
The humans claimed dominion over every living thing

Proud as a purpose they became to walk the earth
As they arraigned the common creatures
Caught within the corpus, cursed, conscious human brain

Every word that’s ever written will fall short of its intent
Even sung or spoke or screamed, they will betray what they have meant

They will betray what they have meant

Language is the heart’s lament
A weak attempt to circumvent the loneliness inherent
In the search for permanence

Like all the future ghosts who scratch their names in wet cement
Demeaning meaning as they shout out at the emptiness

Abstraction is the stake between the anima and animus
Deflesh the word as scourge of human destiny
Behold the world in other people, life is charity
Guy 1: Dude Did your here about PTH's new song Spoils?
Guy 2: Fuck ya dude it made me jizz everywhere!

Spoils of War 

Stuff you get from your ex that's too cool to give back.

Stuff your ex left that's cool that you're not going to give back.

Stuff your ex has that's really cool that you have to sacrifice because you don't ever want to talk to them again.

Must not have sentimental value.
"I like your shoes! Where's you get them?"

"Spoils of war. He bought them for me last summer for hikes."

OR

"Totally just found my ex girlfriends raft in my garage. Spoils of war score!"

OR

"I just realized that my ex got my raft and probably lost it! Spoils of war I guess."

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
