Chained to Screens

[long instrumental intro] [Verse 1] The stars were shining bright, Then came digital light, Blurring day into night, We chased progress in sight. [Verse 2] Circuits hum, steady and clean, We drift through every screen, Faces fade in between, Losing what we had seen. [dark wave interlude] [Chorus] We stare, but never see, What once was meant to be, Lost in this circuitry, Our minds no longer free. [Verse 3] Fifty years, we’ve flown high, But now we question why, Wisdom fades as we try, Chained to screens passing by. [dark wave interlude] [Verse 4] Eyes glued to the stream, Living within the machine, What’s real becomes a dream, As we unravel the seam. [Chorus] We stare, but never see, What once was meant to be, Lost in this circuitry, Our minds no longer free. [dark wave interlude] [Outro] We reached for the sky, Now we watch it die, Artificial minds soar high, While we forget to try. [instrumental outro] [end]
