about

Questing our cybernated interactions and experiences, and how they force pressures and communicative expectations, in our connections, friendships, and devotions.

lyrics

[verse]
I’ve been meaning to text you back for days
Since we saw each other face to face
Under this circumstance
The button’s been misplaced
I’ve been needing to give you time
Listen to your voice
Read your mind
Now mortal offence is the way you behave

[chorus]
When we measure each other like robots
Capture connections in code
Analytic honour will always be a
Let down
Put down
Set down
Get down
Measuring each other like robots
Calculate connections with code
Analytic honour will always be a
Let down
Put down
Set down
You’ll get down

[spoken]
Striving to be well through analytically wired pockets and wrists
Tuning us out to the importance of what’s beneath the skins we live
Eat better, sleep better, communicate better
Just be better
Because you don’t deserve the diamonds
If you can’t handle the pressure

[verse]
We’ve been putting our fingers in our ears
To look for some space away from here
Away from this din of silicon, yeah
Putting too much weight on metaphors
Realities, perceptions with a clause
You’re virtually flawless
Aren’t you, just

[chorus]
While we’re measuring each other like robots
Capturing connections in code
Analytic honour will always be a
Let down
Put down
Set down
Get down
Measure each other like robots
Calculate connections with code
Analytic honour will always be a
Let down
Put down
Set down
You’ll get down

[spoken]
Have we forgotten that it was the coal which birthed all those sparkles and goals
And the makers of all our drones live to serve a soul
We don’t need robots to play or software to articulate without mistake
Or keyboard shields to cower behind
As we toss grenades of hate

[chorus]
While we’re measuring each other like robots
Capturing connections in code
Analytic honour will always be a
Let down
Put down
Set down
Get down
Pleasure each other like robots
Calculate connections with code
Analytic honour will always be a
Let down
Put down
Set down
You’ll get down

[spoken]
When did things start heading south
To move us again north we need to rediscover the compass we lived so long without
By not being mindless to the kindness we all deserve and need
Long lost to the 1s
The 0s
Scrolling beyond the screen
