IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD
(also sorry i'll try not to render at 10:15 again)
[verse]
Behold the wonders before us
Unwrap the core, our creations inside
As it begins, so do journeys
That we have made, and rest it subsides
The smallest bit to the largest
We see that half of the magic will swell
To grow to infinite margins
Take note that life took its root in our well
[chorus]
It all was made up from people like us
and atom by atom carefully
It all was built for the rest to be
Created for those to life and breathe
[verse]
Will they know of their creators?
Can they reach out? Will they touch us in time?
The day may come when they'll wonder
and try to rationalize their design
You're in a place
that i can't comprehend
Can't see your face
So far away, that I can't understand
Two beings lost
We were together yet alone
lost, so far away
It chilled us to the bone
They appeared without notice or warning. We weren't ready, but they told us that it was normal to be feel that way. They gave us tools to enhance ourselves, our entire species, our entire planet. They didn't ask for much in exchange, other that... well, you know the story.
behind the mirror
my darkened eyes
your hopeful glimmer
has come to die
simulation
exsanguination
simulation
extermination
the life you once had
empty and cold
the world you wanted
under my control
simulation
exsanguination
simulation
extermination
Holding your hand
Keeping you close
Life slips slowly
From my fingers
Seeing your eyes
Longing to be
Bright and glowing
They're so weary
Watch See Think Feel
Time is waiting
Worlds in standstill
Standing with you
Step two three four
Down the long hall
Soon departing
I'll be with you
I embraced the noise this time. hopefully I can embrace it even more because noise is so cool
Your God shows you the true meaning of life.
Enslaving the masses
To their instincts
Probe their brains
Control what they think
They will not realize
what they become
Keep the dopamine fresh
Better to rule the machine than serve in flesh
Man time really creeps up on you! My first idea was way too happy, and i couldn't come up with a second one. So i had a wacky idea to cover what is essentially the theme itself lol. Robot music! Aka Kraftwerk, the founders of commercial electronic music! It's very simple, because the piece is simple. Have fun!
