[Verse 1] On a highway stop in Aichi I found this pic Perfect miso katsu that an AI cooked up quick But there’s something kinda strange about the scene Crispy crumbs repeating in a fractal sheen Blue circuit boards are glowing in the meat inside In the valley of the uncanny where flavors collide Chopsticks in my trembling hand begin to slow Is this what tasty in the future’s gonna mean, who knows [Chorus] Laughing while I’m thinking, it’s an Ig Nobel high Seriously studying this bugged-out food supply Chewing little pixels, tasting every glitch byte Redefining what delicious means in my mind tonight Laughing while I’m thinking, it’s an Ig Nobel high Seriously studying this bugged-out food supply Chewing little pixels, tasting every glitch byte Redefining what delicious means in my mind tonight [Verse 2] Data and the sauce are swirling in the night sky All the researchers wear a serious look in their eyes It’s ridiculous but cuts to the question we chase Can a machine hold a heart in its coded place Does a miso katsu image have a soul to show My stomach’s getting empty but the data’s full load Where will all our shiny futures finally go I swear I almost taste it through the bright display glow [Chorus] Laughing while I’m thinking, it’s an Ig Nobel high Seriously studying this bugged-out food supply Chewing little pixels, tasting every glitch byte Redefining what delicious means in my mind tonight Laughing while I’m thinking, it’s an Ig Nobel high Seriously studying this bugged-out food supply Chewing little pixels, tasting every glitch byte Redefining what delicious means in my mind tonight [Outro] Glitchy little synth lines loosen up the night air Leaving just a hunger that feels a bit strange and rare
