Perpetual Machine
One day, Lemonbrew and Flinn asked me to write a lyric for a dark synth pop song. They wanted to have something critical about individualism. Inspired by science fiction novels, I wrote this:
Perpetual machine
Silicon dreams
Inorganic chemistry
Ends with no means
Perpetual machine
Spotlessly clean
Information is noise
Silence your voice
I’m losing myself in the crowd
A silent voice humming loud
Perpetual machine
Trapped in routine
I’m losing myself in the crowd
A silent voice humming loud
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Fission and gashes
Betraying my trust
Perpetual machine
Don’t spill the bean
Mutagenic sapience
Quell salience
Perpetual machine
Vapour and steam
Electric sheep dream
Of no self-esteem
I’m losing myself in the crowd
Abusing, accusing, drowned out
Concealing my face and whereabouts
A silent voice singing loud
I’m losing myself in the crowd
Abusing, accusing, drowned out
Concealing my fate and whereabouts
A silent voice screaming loud
