Loss of direction. Lack of feeling. The question “what do I do now”.
The Great Whatever is a vicious force. It’s everything you don't know.
It's everything difficult, everything that sucks, and every unanswered question swirling around you.
The Great Whatever represents what I was going through while writing this record. It is about taking it all head-on.
Everyone, I believe at some point experiences it. Asks themselves,
What the fuck am I doing?
Why am I doing it?
Am I happy?
Is there anything more out there?
Yeah, there is… Choose to see it, take action.
Are you lost or free?
When reality comes crashing it’s your chance to make a decision or get crushed. What’ll it be?
Realization.
It is your opportunity to destroy the looming malas we are told to settle for. It is your opportunity to fight being told to bandage your feelings through consumption. It is your opportunity to wage against settling for fear of being alone and it is your opportunity to realize the future is yours in the making.
There's a time.
These opportunities will appear throughout the rest of our lives.
Peter Pepper vs. The Great Whatever is a battle of perception. Ask yourself...
What side are you on?
-Peter Pepper

Think They Know
Rantings of an Adventure-Punk
Turn up the volume with your middle finger till the walls collapse. This is the Adventure Punk movement.
I had a dream we got everything we could have ever wanted, and were bored as shit with it, but still
didn't quit.
Not knowing the answer doesn't mean it doesn't exist and not knowing how to find it doesn't
mean its impossible.
And just because we don't know what it is that we want, doesn't mean it can't be
ours. Sitting on your ass will get you nothing but fucked!
Fuck the rules, we're making our own just so we can break those too. We've been squeezed into neat
genres and sociological filing cabinets, cubical and classrooms but it hasn't broken our will.
There is a void that will be filled.
We don't know why we're here but we want everything and nothing at the same time. We'll start with the former then take the later just to see how it feels. Give me experience or give me death.
What is
existence without experience. What is experience without feeling. A boring, fucking waste! That's what!
Seizing the moment adventure-punks! We are the mass-mind of the now! Our parent's generation would never
believe the shit we've seen and we're going to out live them by 100 years.
Overstimulation is our way of life.
Excess is the standard and we're not taking' no more candy from the strangers anymore!
The here and
now is here and ours. Adventure punks unite!
