Is It Really Mine?
Agathocles · Mince Core History 1996 - 1997 [2008]
get a job, the state pays fair,
get a partner, get some kids,
make sure that you will fit,
What about my future?
Is it really mine?
What about my future?
Or is it the state's future?
Don't talk shit about a free choice,
'cause it's only the systems voice,
I don't wanna walk any alternative ways,
just give me the nihilistic way,
Yes, it's my future,
and I will use it,
Yes, it's my future,
to crack the state's future.

The song reflects the group's broader exploration of identity and disconnection, themes frequently revisited across their discography during this prolific era. While the compilation gathers material from two distinct years, this track stands as a cohesive example of their evolving sound, balancing aggressive instrumentation with lyrical depth. It remains an essential listen for those examining the band's development and their contribution to the genre's landscape during this specific period.
