Metallic Us Songtext
von Valcata

Waking up
Who am I?
Where am I?
What is this place?
Shaken up
In a bind
Brutalized, cruelly encased

There is what you were
And there′s what you are
You were an archetype
You were an avatar
You were digital
Your worlds mystical
Your were overpowered
Your dark code is ours

My hands shake as I conceive what's been done to me
My heart clicks a mechanical-like elegy
My breathing equalizes as I realize that I′m metallic


You're metallic
Open up metallic eyes
All your faculties metallic
Come on, smile a little and adjust, 'cause
You′re just a metallic us

You′ll be fine in your chains
Let cogs grind for a change
You'll need no saving, braving the toxic plains
And they who wain and rust
In the rain will turn to dust

It′s complicated, 'cause
Synthetic flesh is so expensive
It′s the weight of your existence
So be grateful for the system
Listen, lift your eyes and

Look
Open up metallic eyes
All your faculties metallic
Come on, start figuring it out
There's no handouts
You know that you′re metallic us


Sealed inside, made from scraps
Trapped in unnatural light
To be forced to endure the lurid nights
And remember the endless horizons
Beyond conscience they'll be rich

Waking up
Who am I?
Where am I?
What is this place?
Breaking up
In a bind
Immobilized, brutalized

Forced into the physical
Where we tie the noose
You were digital
A type on the loose
But you've hit the belt
You′re knelt in the sun
And this hand you′re dealt you can kiss
Until you're done

Beyond conscience we′ll live in opulence
For the rest of your life you're mine

Open up metallic eyes
All your faculties metallic
Come on, smile a little because
Cosmic dust can′t complain
Now, take your place

Open up metallic eyes
All your faculties metallic
Come on, celebrate your rebirth
Walk the earth
Just like a metallic us
