lyrics

This virtual world
and the physical dimension
Seem to be falling apart
splintering even
Sometimes I get lost
in between the different worlds
other times I seem to realise
That I've been lost all along

The more everything is connected,
the more it seems to falls apart.
The more people are plugged in
The more they fall drift away.
The more our society follows progress
The more it becomes a multiverse.
The more new realities we build
The more we get trapped in illusions

We're all aliens in the end.
No cohesion or coherence,
but we can all define ourselves now
make up our own identity on the fly.
deconstruct the social construct
bring in the personal construct
even the niches will splinter every time
and turn against themselves

every person is a single island
In this chaotic mess of irrelevance
unconnected and lost for translation
in a multiverse that's drifting apart
in between the splintering dimensions
I’m floating in my raft
flying whales floating overhead
Fragments of planets collapsing

Please sit here with me for a while
To watch this weird spectacle
while the worlds collide
And even the gods seem to be lost
Please tell me that I’m exaggerating
Tell me it’s not so bad
Tell me it’s all going somewhere
please don’t tell me lies

Please tell me that the world is still one
That God is one, that humans are one
Tell me that we’re not aliens
And that there’s still hope
