about

What if computers were sentient? What if we were the computer? Or perhaps living inside the computer? Whatever the case may be, this song is about living the cyber fantasy, and making it into whatever you want it to be.

lyrics

Hello from behind the screen
This is not a simulation
The transformation is complete
It's a permanent vacation

Travelled many worlds
But I prefer my own
You can wipe my drive
But clouds keep me at home
Paint me into pixels
Turn my brain to code
Solitude in my cards
Dialled in to load

I've become my own machine
I'm living out my cyber fantasy
I am virtual humanity
And I'll shut down when I please

Hello from behind the screen
Welcome to virtualization
I've digitized my dynasty
Made a solo civilization

Created in notepad
Did myself all the favours
2 5 6 full colour
I am the screensaver

Wires in my nerves
And networks in my bones
Connected to sites that keep me all alone

I've become my own machine
I'm living out my cyber fantasy
I am virtual humanity
And I'll shut down when I please

Hey floppy, do you copy?
Let's install my final form

I've become my own machine
Immortalized beyond my wildest dreams
Cyberconscious and it's so serene
And I'll shut down when I please
