about

Bit of a snapshot of the weird, wondrous and often frightening times we find ourselves.

lyrics

Looking out the window now as life just passes by
Sitting in the backseat and letting the autopilot drive
In the big reveal are silicone and steel all that we're made of?
In a fearful world it's easy to become what we're afraid of

We digitally sample sound with Nikon eyes we see
Even as our lungs still breath we speak in binary
Screen is in your line of sight and still you cannot see
Ones and zeroes, black or white is not where I choose to be

Dee dee de dee dee dee

In our comfort zone, reading the news on our phone but it's been misreported
Purposefully polarised this signal is getting distorted
Politicians or thieves?
Should we stay or leave?
Let's blame it on the youth!
Listening to what they said, it messes with my head when all I want is the truth

We digitally sample sound with Nikon eyes we see
Even as our lungs still breath we speak in binary
Screen is in your line of sight and still you cannot see
Ones and zeroes, black or white is not where I choose to be

Dee dee de dee dee dee

Hai na nai na nai nai nai nai nai na nai nai nai (wooh ooh ooh)
Hai na nai na nai nai nai nai nai na nai nai nai (wooh ooh ooh)
Hai na nai na nai nai nai nai nai na nai nai nai (wooh ooh ooh)
Hai na nai na nai nai nai nai nai na nai nai nai (wooh ooh ooh)
Nai nai na nai nai nai

With our matching ties and unblinking eyes we march our feet
People sell their souls for their weight in gold and then lose the receipt
We can play these games with the fate of the world in the dice we're shaking
Though we've drifted away we're gonna be okay when we choose to awaken

We digitally sample sound with Nikon eyes we see
Even as our lungs still breath we speak in binary
Screen is in your line of sight, of course you cannot see
Ones and zeroes, black or white is not what I choose to believe

Dee dee de dee dee dee
Dee dee de dee dee dee
Dee dee de dee dee dee
Dee dee de dee dee dee
