“SYNTHETIC” is a hard-hitting progressive rocker questioning the nature of our existence and what lies beyond our perceived reality.

Taking inspiration from our continued push to recreate versions of ourselves in a new digital reality, it triggers thoughts about a Matrix-like existence where we’re all synthetic prisoners trapped in some surreal experiment (“I see you trying to leave, we are locked behind these walls, experiments, just don’t look up..”). Perhaps it’s best not to question our realities too much..ignorance is bliss..

𝐋𝐘𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐒:

Soon I’m just a photograph

With all the rest

Its not too far now

Receive

Distant signals floating past

A new regret

Are we alive?

We never get it

Created synthetic

Open your eyes

Can you see?

This life

(Animal coded belief)

We know nothing

(Paralyzed, chasing relief)

In time

(Open up, rising beneath)

reduce to dust

Deny

(No control, grinding my teeth)

Does it mean something?

(fall in line, fighting the thief)

This lie

(Paranoid, trying to breathe)

Reduce to nothing

Drifting through these endless paths

Another turn

I see you trying to leave

We are locked behind these walls

Experiments

Just don’t look up

Give me somebody to be

A vessel to synthesize

I will get it right

This life

(Animal coded belief)

We know nothing

(Paralyzed, chasing relief)

Online

(Open up, rising beneath)

I’ve said too much

Ask why

(No control, grinding my teeth)

It must mean something

(fall in line, fighting the thief)

This lie

(Paranoid, trying to breathe)

Who can we trust here?

Enjoy the beginning

Forget those who left

We’re all synthetic

Remember your death

and now you hurt

Thats how you learn

Just not too much

(You’ll regret)

Don’t panic when it turns

Feel better when it hurts

You’re still alive here

(We know nothing)

(Animal coded belief)

We control nothing

(Paralyzed, chasing relief)

Inside

(Open up rising beneath)

We’re all synthetic

(You own nothing)
