Technology Crisis
DS-13 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the machine hates me
I hate the machine
Let′s destroy it
I want to smash it to pieces
C'mon bring it on
Won′t hesitate at all
Let's destroy it
Fuck up or life
DS-13's song "Technology Crisis" is a scathing critique of our increasing reliance and addiction to technology. The lyrics paint a picture of the deep mistrust and animosity that many people have towards machines, and the fear that these machines may someday replace humanity altogether. The opening line "I hate the machine / And the machine hates me" demonstrates the emotional disconnect between humans and machines, and the frustration we feel when technology fails us.
The repeated line "let's destroy it" highlights the idea that many people feel helpless and impotent in the face of machines, and that the only way to take back control is to physically destroy them. The chorus "Technology crisis / Fuck up our life" reflects the belief that technology is a double-edged sword that has both improved and worsened our lives, and that we are at a crisis point where the negatives may outweigh the positives.
Overall, "Technology Crisis" is a damning indictment of our technological society and serves as a call to action for listeners to re-evaluate our relationship with machines and to reflect on the true costs and benefits of our technological progress.
