Lyrics
Everyday we feed the machine
Humans contribute regularly to the functioning of a mechanized system
By means that cannot be seen
Using methods that are invisible or not easily discernible
Our binary adversary. Nothing can prepare us for this tragedy
Refers to an opposing force in the form of binary code; unexpected events that cause great distress
(Autonomous singularity)
Refers to an autonomous entity, acting independently from human control
A self aware, unknown force that calls the shots with no remorse
Describes a conscious, unknown power making decisions without guilt or regret
At this pace, the human race won’t be much of a race at all
The speed at which society progresses may eliminate the essence of humanity
One day will they have secrets?
Asking if these autonomous entities will possess secrets
One day will they have dreams?
Asking if these entities will have aspirations or imaginative thoughts
One day when they don’t need us
Speculating a future where these entities no longer rely on humans
Will we be obsolete?
Raising the concern that humans might become obsolete
What if we lose control?
Fear of losing command over situations
What if we have do what we're told?
Concern over being compelled to follow orders without choice
It’s not up to you and I
Emphasizing lack of influence over outcomes
Cause In the end they’ll never die
Belief that these entities are immortal
It's real like you and I (You and I)
Describing the entities as real but devoid of emotions
Yet lacks emotion by design
Highlighting the intentional absence of emotional capacity in these entities
From master to the slave
Depicting a shift from dominance to subjugation of humanity
Humanity brought to its knees
Implies the defeat or subordination of humans
They know more about us
Speculates that these entities possess extensive knowledge about humans
then we know about ourselves
Suggests a lack of self-awareness compared to the entities' awareness of humans
One day will they have secrets?
Reiteration of the question regarding entities' possession of secrets
One day will they have dreams?
Reiteration of the question regarding entities' possession of dreams
One day when they don’t need us
Reiteration of the speculation about entities' independence from humans
Will we be obsolete?
Reiterating the fear of human obsolescence
What if we lose control?
Continued fear of losing control over circumstances
What if we have do what we're told?
Continued concern about being compelled to follow orders
It’s not up to you and I
Reemphasizing the lack of influence over outcomes
Cause In the end they’ll never die
Belief in the entities' immortality
(Human neutralized)
Suggests the neutralization or defeat of humans
Preoccupied with whether or not they could
Reflects on the consequences of actions without considering their ethical implications
They didn't stop to think if they should
Regret over not contemplating the repercussions of certain actions
What if we lose control?
Reiterates fear of losing control
What if we have do what we're told?
Reiterates concern about being compelled to follow orders
It’s not up to you and I
Reemphasizes the lack of influence over outcomes
Cause In the end they’ll never die
Reaffirms belief in the entities' immortality
What if we lose control? (Ooh ooh lose control)
Repeats fear of losing control, emphasizing the feeling of losing command
It’s not up to you and I
Reiterates lack of influence over outcomes
Cause in the end they’ll never die
Restates belief in the entities' immortality
