PARADISE LOST - Out Now

Written By Polybanderous Productions
 

Paradise Lost (Version 1) is out now.

Written for the Bushwick Book Club’s Jurassic Park event, the song reimagines Michael Crichton’s cautionary tale through the lens of techno-capitalism — where “progress” becomes science weaponized for profit. The writing began with a line from the book, “in haste, in secret, for profit,” a phrase that felt less like fiction and more like a summary of human history. From there, the song explores the instinct to own, replicate, and control what should remain wild — and the inevitable collapse that follows when creation becomes a commodity.

Like much of Burden of Excess, it’s less a retelling than a reflection: a warning about the myths we build around innovation, and how easily our better intentions evolve into extinction events.
