KAROSHI from Mindful Inaction by NEXØ
Karoshi is a Japanse word for “death from over-work”, as in people working themselves to death for a corporation who consider them nothing but a disposable gear in their well-oiled machine. This is the very definition of the hamster wheel and the inhuman nature of capitalism.

Lyrics
You’re a disposable gear in their corporate machine
Constant productivity and growth is standard routine
Perpetual motion is no longer hypothesis
The next in line is awaiting the commercial abyss
Time is relative, working hours are not
The grains of sand fall on you at your desk
A thin layer of time on your back like dust
And you drown in the hour glass
Zero sum game
Karoshi

NEXØ is a highly energetic punk band from Copenhagen. The four-piece unite the frantic drive of hardcore punk with heavy, psychedelic soundscapes and digital effects, mirroring a reality distorted by filters and spin. The music is a raw fist of noise, but always with a keen sense of melody.
NEXØ is the resonance of a world undergoing rapid and brutal change.
