Lyrics
Pre-Chorus: Where's the spark that starts the fire? Drowned in binary deep Is there a way to break this wire? Or are we far too deep? (Our thoughts are theirs to keep) Thought we'd thrive in tech's embrace, but we're just one machine Echoes of humanity, now a uniform stream Ideals and emotions all in cold code entwine Don't weep for our past today We lost our souls along the way (For underneath the wires, all's the same) Scanned ‘neath neon skies, our faces all but gone Silent throngs march on, to the data's dawn With every heartbeat synced, in the grid we confide Our essence quantified, individuality denied (And in the circuit's hum, we all become numb) Emptiness in progress' name, we bartered flesh for fame Synthetic minds now rule the game, our freedom just a flame Glowing dim in history's page, a story without claim No tears to shed, emotions fade We're pawns within the mainframe (For all that’s left are shadows feigned) Chorus: One heart, one mind in silent syncopation In this digital domain, we lost our salvation (An echo in the void, no warmth or elation) We drift, shadows in the ghostly congregation Are we free or just locked in simulation?
