Humanoid
Bernhoft & The Fashion Bruises Lyrics

I'm not saying that all was better before
I'm not claiming that everything was superior in the past, although I may believe so.

Well, maybe I do
Actually, I do think that things were better before.

I just like to talk to people I know
I prefer to converse with familiar individuals.

With eyes looking up from their phones
People who are not constantly staring at their phones while talking to me.

I'm tired of talking to drones
I am exhausted of conversing with people who seem robotic and unoriginal.

Here we are; Tailored to perfection
We have become finely crafted to conform to current trends and ideals.

Appearing so smart
While we may look intelligent, we may lack individuality and critical thinking.

Here we are; tied to progress (tied to progress)
We have become attached to the idea of progress and are willing to sacrifice our individuality to achieve it.

We're strange kinda humanoids
We have become like robots, lacking in original thought and creativity.

I can't find no individuals, just
I can't seem to find any unique people, only

strange kind of humans
Individuals who lack creativity and authenticity in their actions and thinking.

Fish-eyed robots strutting their stardom
People who resemble robots and seem to enjoy showing off their perceived success and popularity.

Now assuming we can't turn this shipwreck around
If we cannot change course, as if we are on a doomed ship that is sinking.

Before things get heated up
Before the situation becomes more tense and difficult to handle.

I'm sure this mother can do just fine without
I am confident that life would continue normally without our constant interference and intervention.

Without us, life goes on
Life will continue regardless of whether or not we are an active part of it.

Here we were; Tailored to extinction
We have been crafted in a way that may lead to our own demise.

We thought we'd go far
We believed that our current trajectory would lead to great success and progress.

Here we were; Bathing in profit
We were enjoying monetary gains without considering the long-term consequences.

With time running out
As time continues to pass, we are quickly approaching a critical point.

Here we were; Eager for destruction
We were excited to make changes and progress, even if it meant harming ourselves and the world around us.

Dancing with fire
Taking dangerous risks and living on the edge.

Here we were; Some kind of progress
We were making advancements and changes, albeit potentially damaging ones.

Strange kinda humanoids
People who have sacrificed their humanity for the sake of progress and success.

I'm living it up in the basement,
I am living life without concern for success or profit.

Living it up in the penthouses,
I am living life with all the luxuries and success that comes with it.

I'm living it up in the stratosphere.
I am living life in a higher, more advanced state of being.

U goin up?
Are you planning to also strive for advancement and success?
