Torn

[Pure Electronic Synth Sequencer] [Real Drums Enter] Torn/Tragic Irony The cost of the stream [Verse 1] Billionaires tell us what the water is worth While they’re building data centers all over the earth Even a simple Google search has changed in the race An AI overview is forced right into your face Whether you want it or not, the servers demand Ten times more water and power across the land And I just found out that every single song I make Takes three liters of fresh water, just to prompt it away [Chorus] And the servers run hot while the rivers run dry A billion-dollar playground beneath a burning sky We’re draining the earth just to power the stream Trapped in a world that is losing its green Nothing is natural, nothing is free They corporate-code even our own memory [Verse 2] I recorded my husky, just a sound from my home But they say it’s copyrighted, like it’s not my own Recently, so it seems, I can only upload general corpo noise While new laws are passed and strip away our choice In Germany every text and email is read I wish people would protest because they’re sick of all of that While citizens in the U.S. go out with saws in the night Cutting down Flock cameras, fighting for their right [Chorus] And the servers run hot while the rivers run dry A billion-dollar playground beneath a burning sky We’re draining the earth just to power the stream Trapped in a world that is losing its green Nothing is natural, nothing is free They corporate-code even our own memory [Verse 3] 2026, and the heat is a wall The summer is burning, and the fish start to die They are choking for air while the Rhine is running dry And the party boats cruise past like nobody cares While the fish underneath them are running out of air Can you dig it? They even built forty kilometers of high-voltage fence Right along the river bank, it makes absolutely no sense It’s for protection from swine flu, they said But a whole year has passed, not even one boar was found dead I wonder: where can the wild animals drink in this cruel summer heat? [Bridge] They tore down our biggest nature reserve around here A century of forest, ancient and deep, that they always promised to keep But they tore it apart, and on the one side they built a soil recycling plant Whilst on the other, even members of the Green party elite can live somewhere grand They destroyed the rare flowers, the trees, and the birds And they act like it is nothing with hypocrite words [Outro] And everyone acts like it’s all justified But the river is soon gone and the nature is about to die I’m caught in the middle, I’m torn by the choice This digital Suno playground was giving me a voice One hundred thousand plays Processing private stuff And much more important: spreading the Word of the LORD But look at the water that we soon won't afford Even asking these questions burns three to six liters from the spring I’m standing in the conflict of this crazy thing I haven't decided if I can just walk away I guess I won't get an easy answer today Just dry riverbeds and worse climate changes in another land What is left to upload when everything gets out of hand?
