everything I do for FAWM 2026 is to be made on my phone, listening only with its built-in mono speaker

So?ing Machine - "Transtapuence"
for the first weekly challenge, Made-Up Words. "transtapuence" here is meant to be the quality of crossing over into what is taboo, used here with a connotation of disdain for the assignment of the quality of being taboo to... Something. ·w·
I got some help with finetuning the term from @goaty ! "extaburence" was on the table initially, but it wasn't actually as hella word as you might think. "transtapuence", on the other hand, IS hella word, such that I want to incorporate it into my vocabulary... I'm sure I'll find a lot of opportunities to use it. owo
Lyrics
I thought I was a good seed silencing my agency The thought never occurred to me... what if this forest only had two trees?
What if I'd... do more than dream? (huhmm...)
I suggest we should know better Stop pretending we're so blind and shed a little weight here
Safety goggles off, please, in this makeshift lab Inject the poisoned ether with the antidote of our transtapuence
[repeated:]
What if I'd... do more than dream?
Safety goggles off, please, in this makeshift lab Inject the poisoned ether with the antidote of our transtapuence

oh, I just sing like that. my voice just does all that. ·w.
Oppressive beat. I love the vocals. Don't know what effect is used here but it gives a very unique texture. What a word you made up. I agree that is hellava word!
