Had a melody in my head. Recorded my humming with the phone. Wrote down the words. Gave it all to AI. Got the song back. Took stems to DAW. Chopped them up, rearranged, threw away some, added some, replaced the bass. Mixed it down and here it is.

A simplified view of the world we live in today.

Lyrics:

Noises in the air, yeah, the signal is weak
I’m searching for a truth that nobody wants to speak
I wake up in a fever, staring at the blue light
Scrolling through a billion souls screaming in the night
They say “knowledge is power,” well I’m feeling pretty weak
Every link is a rabbit hole, the outlook is bleak
I got a compass in my hand but the needle’s spinning fast
How am I supposed to build a future when I can’t find the past?

I’m lost in the glitches, I’m drowning in the feed
Got everything I want, but nothing that I need
Is it real? Is it fake? Is it all just a dream?
A digital ghost in a physical scheme
The more that I know, the less I understand
I’m a stranger in a strange world, sinking in the sand.

Information overload, a blizzard in my brain
Every fact comes with a shadow, every pleasure with a pain
They’re selling me a lifestyle, they’re selling me a lie
Framed in high definition while the real world passes by
I see a thousand faces, but I don’t see a soul
Just avatars and algorithms playing out a role
They tell me “stay connected,” but I’ve never felt so lone
A king of a kingdom built on silicon and bone.

Break the circuit, cut the wire
Everything is burning in a silent fire
The truth is buried under mountains of “maybe”
And the world’s gone loud, and the world’s gone crazy.

So I’m standing on the corner, watching traffic flow like code
Wondering if I’m actually even on the road
Is that a smile or a filter? Is that a heart or a click?
The pace of the “update” is making me sick
Give me something solid, give me something I can feel
Before the boundary vanishes between the fake and real
Too much data, not enough sense
I’m just a man sitting on a barbed-wire fence.

I’m lost in the glitches, I’m drowning in the feed
Got everything I want, but nothing that I need
Is it real? Is it fake? Is it all just a dream?
A digital ghost in a physical scheme
The more that I know, the less I understand
I’m a stranger in a strange world, sinking in the sand.


Lost in the world…
Can’t find the signal…
Too much noise…
What’s real?
