“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)
