Song Description

This song is about depression and madness... about a person who loses perspective and grip on reality and begins to think that the world is a digital simulation built for him.

Lyrics

Thoughts like wires, old electric long decayed
Signal's not getting through, some confused and some delayed
Look where it's gotten me, all this thinking and being alone
I still want you; Please don't hang up the phone.

I think you're a martian, that is you were just a dream
your touch was like forest fires now i'm the freak who lit the thing
they caught me taking pictures, pulled me down and hauled me in
are you happy now, I'm giving up you win

Your teeth sharp packets, ones and zeroes in your smile
I know your protocol, it is wonderful it's vile
But don't look at me I can't process much
Program shutting down, I shudder from your touch

You're looking forward. I'm out on the coast
You look to see me, a machine trapped inside a ghost
And we've lost all meaning, in this ocean where we drown
All is metonymy as far as I have found

Don't follow me, I swear I'll disappear
This is not autonomy, this is desperation fear
We're killing metaphor and you know we can't stop now
This is all we've got left, don't let it get you down.
