Stay In Control

Heno “I.D.C.A.S.”

“I.D.C.A.S.” is short, simple, and spiky – mostly just one menacing keyboard riff and creepy ambience supporting a vocal by Heno that’s mostly rap and a little bit of dancehall toasting, but has a very punk energy. The title is short for “I don’t care about shit,” but that’s a bit misleading – he’s talking about having the discipline to not panic about things he can’t control, and to keep focused on things he can change. This would be a good idea at any point in time, but feels especially relevant now when so many people drive themselves mad with anxiety to the point that they can’t really function or contribute in a meaningful towards improving material conditions for themselves much less anyone else. This is not a song about embracing apathy or nihilism – if anything, it’s shaking out of the apathy and nihilism that comes from obsessing on powerlessness and intractable situations.
