Lyrics
(People pass me by like they are in a dream)
Feeling unnoticed or detached as people pass by in a dreamlike state.
(So many voices clash inside the datastream)
Sensory overload from conflicting voices within the digital world.
(Within the static I know I'm not alone)
Amidst the noise, recognizing a shared sense of isolation.
(In a world of color I see in monochrome)
Perceiving the world in a limited, grayscale way despite its colorful appearance.
Bright neon colors of the city lights
City lights are vibrant, but an essential element is absent.
But something's missing in their tone
An emptiness or lack of fulfillment in the midst of the city's lights.
My mind is numb, life as a technolyte
Feeling emotionally numb, existing as a devotee of technology.
I know this world is not my home
A sense of not belonging, recognizing this world as unfamiliar.
People pass me by like they are in a dream
Reiteration of the feeling of being ignored or overlooked.
So many voices clash inside the datastream
Internal conflicts represented by clashing voices in the digital realm.
Within the static I know I'm not alone
Despite the chaos, finding solace in the shared experience of isolation.
In a world of color I see in monochrome
Choosing to perceive the world in monochrome amidst its vibrant colors.
This world is not my home
Affirmation that the current reality is not where one truly belongs.
I see in monochrome
Embracing the perspective of seeing the world in a limited, grayscale manner.
Jet from my living space, I need some room to breathe
Seeking personal space to escape and reflect.
The undercity calls to clear my circuitry
The underground city beckoning as a place to reset and recharge.
And as I travel downward from Old Tokyo
Descending from a vibrant city to a monochromatic one.
I trade a world of color for one of monochrome
Choosing a simpler, monochromatic life over a colorful but chaotic one.
And still people pass me by living in a dream
Observing people in a dreamlike state, unaware of their surroundings.
So many voices scream inside the datastream
Intensified inner conflicts represented by screaming voices.
Within the chaos I know I'm not alone
Finding comfort in chaos, knowing others share similar struggles.
'Cause in this world of color we see in monochrome
Recognizing the collective choice to see the world in monochrome.
Bathed in the color of the city lights
City lights remain colorful, but an essential element is still missing.
But something's missing in their tone
An acknowledgment of an unfulfilled aspect of life as a technolyte.
There's more to this life as a technolyte
Hinting at a deeper meaning or purpose beyond a technologically-driven existence.
When I know this world is not my home
Reiterating the awareness that the current world is not where one truly belongs.
This world is not my home
Affirmation of detachment from the current reality.
I see in monochrome
Reaffirming the choice to see the world in monochrome.
I know I'm not alone
Feeling a shared sense of isolation with others who also see in monochrome.
We see in monochrome
Embracing the collective experience of perceiving the world in limited colors.
(We see in monochrome)
Reiteration of the communal choice to view the world in monochrome.
(We see in monochrome)
Further emphasis on the shared perspective of seeing the world in limited colors.
