Lyrics

Reject the machine

Don't summarise me

I'm turning all my tokens to lies

Everything is broken and I'm struggling to breathe

And reject the routine

The hype is obscene

I'm burning out on counterfeit facts

How can we make progress if we don't know what is real

Skin, eyes, lips, heart

That's what it means to be human

Joy, pain, fear, love

That's what it means to be human

Destroy the machine

End the oligarchy

I'm learning that it's all a mirage

Refuse hallucinations and reclaim your agency

And destroy the routine

So we can dream

I'm yearning for a daring rebirth

It's time to disconnect to find out what we want to be

a photo of a woman with her hands on her heart, looking up and to the left. She is blurry and artifacted, against a space-like backdrop containing a pink orb. At the top right and bottom left there are rainbow-like lens flares, making it seem like she is in space.
