SONIC ESCAPISM II

The touch of grass between my toes
And life, contently, so it goes
The days are long in a field of green
And it gets hard to be seen
And wind blows softly through my hair
It carries thoughts out of my head
The hours blend, the air so clean
And it gets hard to be seen

WITHIN A BUBBLE
04:14
|

There's a shadow coming over the hill, oh yeah
Quietly as a yell
There's no hiding in the digital soil, oh yeah
You're overflowing the well
And a cloud with feeble shield
Stores the secrets you've concealed
In the past
Within a bubble you decide on your life, oh yeah
Do you control all your tools?
If there's no point in a community, oh yeah
Why should you follow the rules?
You have found the lonely sheep
Not the answers you have seek
Home at last

Why are you so anxious? Is it faulty design?
You just stay up for hours past your bedtime
Feel the itch growing, tap to stream
And drench yourself slowly on its ominous gleam
Why are you so down? Would it hurt you to smile?
You're digging up a hole you won't be able to climb
You're not staying informed, you're just being consumed
Ignoring your health and swallowed by gloom

And if this world should end tonight
Drifting through the vast, cold space
Hissing longly in its flight
Disappeared without a trace
Wave goodbye to the old sun
Shadows covering up our face
And if this world should end tonight
Would we fare in Mother's grace?
And those crawling, pesty things
Cling to their unfaithful gods
Balancing on flimsy strings
Battling against the odds
Man and maggot intertwined
As our Mother rolls the dice
And those crawling, pesty things
Feast on her, no more than twice
And as we plunge into our death
Someone on some planet far
Who will watch us, smile and say
"What a pretty shooting star!"

I guess they wanted a change
The concrete wears up their feet
A city plastered with ads
Rendering them obsolete
And in the night-heavy streets
Brimming with silence and dread
Awaken stay the machines
Feeding ideas to their head
They're not building a wall
They're just setting a brick
One by one, it closes the sides
Strategic planning's the trick
Maybe they're daydreaming now
Somewhere between songs of praise
Confusion's settling in
Running around in a maze
As air feels heavly compressed
Silent as things in the dark
It creeps on the back of their head
The dog that bites you won't bark
They're not building a wall
They're just setting a brick
Closing exits, one at a time
Strategic planning's the trick

Everything is fucked and no one seems to get it
Nonchalance's a charm if you don't seem to handle it
"Everything will change", I remember what we said
But slap another drama so I guess that we'll forget
Did everyone change or was it just me?
I can't really tell if I've somehow grown
People come and go and there's a whole lot to see
Everyone is fighting for a dopamine microdose
Any kind of change needs to come within ourselves
But shouldn't there already be an app for that?
When I was a child, they told me "just be yourself"
But I don't really know what "myself" really means
I've been holding my breath for so long
That I no longer know how to exhale
Rise up, nonchalants, and vanquish your pet bores
Shut down the extraction of organic human data
Commodifying thoughts, memories and self expression
Your economy needs you to keep consuming
Everything is nails if you only have a hammer
What's a few dead people between good old friends?
Spontaneous eruptions of spectacular dissent
The revolution's coming but I gotta pay the bills
And I can't go to work, I'm having my daily breakdown
All the memories I have were seen through a screen
What's the point of living in these modern, global days
With all this anxiety looming close over my head?
If your lungs were filled by rising seas
Would you be content about your life?

BODY CRAVES DATA
02:56

Information overload (just ignore it)
Brain is seizing
Content coming all around (just ignore it)
Screen keeps freezing
White glow catch your gaze (gasps)
Eyes locked, a finger tap
Feel your body crave the data
Always pulling, mouse trap
But did it really happened
If they didn't like, share and comment?
But did it really happened
If I didn't have time to document it?
Fuck.
People pleaser as I am (just ignore it)
Time has meaning
Content coming all around (just ignore it)
Ears are ringing
Pink noise keeps me tamed (gasps)
Sleep deprived, another lap
Feel your body crave the data
Always lust another nap
But did it really happened
If they didn't like, share and comment?
But did it really happened
Will an algorithm fix my attention span?
What?

COLOSSUS COMPLEX
05:01
|

Sit tightly, wonder aloud
Something's changing
Somewhere, somehow
Creature comforts, that's what they said
Guess I'll go hide
Inside my head
Masked faces, hiding its bones
City cruising
Lost on their phones
Dying houses, drifting through space
Guess we'll go on
Swifting our pace

ELECTRIC PIETY
07:43
|
|||
It was motor driven
Turning slowly
Boxing the compass
With electric piety
It was poised and reverent
Clocking the hour
Tracing the orbit
With electric piety
Electric piety
It was marked in constant
Stretched impulses
Searching for contact
With electric piety
It was intel loaded
Forged in tightly
Reading the future
With electric piety
Electric piety
