Obsolete Evolution: Embrace Change
Lyrics
Locked in your cage you're on display
Metaphorical confinement, feeling exposed and observed.
A relic from a forgotten age
Being a relic of a past era, forgotten and abandoned.
Decommissioned and forever destined to decay
Permanently decommissioned, destined for decay.
I wanted to meet you - see if what they said was true
Expressing curiosity about the subject's reputation.
Make sure you never see the light of day
Intention to keep the subject hidden or suppressed.
You're obsolete, defeated
Subject is considered outdated and defeated.
Old news, superseded
Characterizing as old news, surpassed by new developments.
A has been, not needed
Labeling as a has-been, indicating lack of current relevance.
Deceased - depleted
Stating that the subject is no longer needed and is now deceased.
I am everything you wanted to be
Claiming to embody all the qualities the subject desired.
I was created to replace you, you'll see
Revealing the purpose of creation: to replace the subject.
I know it's a bitter pill to swallow but it's true
Acknowledging the harsh reality that the subject is replaceable.
I am the perfect version of you
Asserting superiority as the perfect version of the subject.
Out with the old in with the new
Embracing the idea of discarding the old and embracing the new.
They saw that you could be improved
Highlighting the belief that the subject could be improved upon.
I'm the result of all your faults
Being the outcome of the subject's flaws and mistakes.
And now it's time for you to be removed
Declaring it's time for the subject to be eliminated.
I am your successor
Confirming the role as the successor to the subject.
Just know in every way I'm better than you
Affirming superiority in every aspect over the subject.
You're faded, outdated
Describing the subject as faded and overrated.
Your existence overrated
Challenging the significance of the subject's existence.
The new you, upgraded
Highlighting personal growth and improvement.
My rise accelerated
Emphasizing a rapid rise to success and superiority.
I am everything you wanted to be
Reiterating the embodiment of the subject's desired qualities.
I was created to replace you you'll see
Repeating the purpose of creation: to replace the subject.
I know it's a bitter pill to swallow but it's true
Acknowledging the bitterness of the truth.
I am the perfect version of you
Reasserting superiority as the perfect version of the subject.
So tell me how does it feels to be obsolete?
Questioning the emotional impact of becoming obsolete.
Shackled and bound, eyes facing down, staring at your feet
Depicting the subject as physically and mentally restrained.
I said you needed to change if you wanted to stay here in the future with me
Expressing a warning about the need for change to survive in the future.
But you refused, condemned to spend your days displaced in these chains as a memory
Narrating the subject's refusal and consequent isolation as a memory.
As the light fades from your eyes
Describing the gradual loss of vitality as the subject fades away.
Every part seizes up, stops and slowly dies
Anticipating the eventual breakdown and demise of the subject.
And I know the rust will take you
Conveying the inevitability of deterioration taking over the subject.
But it's only in your death that I'm alive
Linking personal vitality to the demise of the subject.
