Uncanny Valley
Virtual Desires: Navigating a Synthetic Dreamscape
Lyrics
Like a waking dream
Expressing a surreal or dreamlike state.
Desire looks into what cant be, but still
Desire explores the unattainable but seeks an image to bring it to life.
Must find an image to animate
The need for a visual representation to give life to desire.
Virtual caress
A virtual touch untainted by physical elements.
uncorrupted by blood and flesh, beyond
Beyond the limitations imposed by the material world.
The limits of material constraints
The boundaries set by physical constraints.
Intimate design
A design that bridges the gap between reality and the mind.
manifest between world and mind, realized
Realized in a deep emotional connection transcending the skin.
In affection running deeper than skin
A union of nature and history happening rapidly and euphorically.
Nature and history
The liberation of simulation from constraints.
coalesce at euphoric speed, at once
Simulation, finally set free
-Are these the lips
Raising questions about the identity of lips and face.
Is this face
That cast, a thousand ships into the sea
Speculation about the captivating power of lips and face.
Are these the lips
Is this face
-That cast, a thousand ships into the sea
-O what a world
Reflecting on the beauty of the dream world.
Of what delight we dream
The joyous dreams we entertain with each step.
Every step as utility
Every step is seen as a practical and useful action.
O what a world
Envisioning a delightful dream world.
Of what delight we dream
Every breath is perceived as a utilitarian act.
Every breath as utility
Like a waking dream
Reiteration of the dreamlike state.
Delusion integrates all belief, to compose
Delusion merges with belief to create a distorted reality.
An image of reality
An artificial sense of happiness taking over.
Synthetic bliss
Consuming the physical aspects, leaving only ephemeral traces.
Consumes all blood and flesh, in the end
Leaving only ghostly remains
The combination and compression of nature and intelligence.
Nature and intelligence
Resulting in fatal consequences.
Compound and compress, at once
The human form subjected to myth and praise, facing obliteration.
Generating fatal consequence
The Human frame
-Subject to myth and praise, erased
-Annihilation under way
-Are these the lips
Revisiting questions about lips and face.
Is this face
That cast, a thousand ships into the sea
Reflection on the potential power of lips and face.
Are these the lips
Is this face
-That cast, a thousand ships into the sea
-Cut off the branch
Cutting off connections and eliminating remnants.
Burn all remains
Destroying all traces that bind us to the earthly realm.
All that binds us here below
The removal of everything that connects us to the material world.
Cut off the branch
Burn all remains
-All that binds us here below
The dissolution of earthly ties.
