about
Machines paints a future in which we are complicit in our own devolution; outpaced, outgunned and outbred can we learn to manage our creations before it's too late?
lyrics
From electric spheres, an auger appeared
He spoke in code words that forebode:
Self-assured motherboard
Computer chip’s ego trip
Barcodes used to classify me
For God’s sake man tell us what you’ve seen!
Probes and nodes were put inside me
A warning sign tell us anything!
I saw things that terrified me
Metal hands that scarified me
Sequences that modified me
I saw…
Machines making machines making machines making
Machines meeting our needs meeting our needs meeting our needs
Machines put us at ease, machines letting us be
Machines making machines, making machines making
Machines in our dreams, help us sleep, put us to sleep,
Machines working for me, machines setting us free, ma-
On assembly lines, there came a time
The empire fell…They gave us hell!
The robots will take control
You prototypes, your heads will roll!
Machines making machines making machines making machines
Machines doing our deeds, sewing our seeds, never fatigued
Machines fixing our seams, machines editing genes,
Machines making machines, making machines making
Machines taking our means, taking our means, taking our means
Machines making us leave, machines making us flee ma-
Machines loving machines fucking machines making
Machines starting to need starting to feed starting to bleed,
starting to breathe machines starting to breed
Machines making machines, making machines making machines
Machines making machines, making machines making machines
Machines making machines machines making machines
