Destructo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We have the technology.
At its simplest level, the repeating phrase "We have the technology" in Destructo's song "Technology" seems to be a celebration of the cutting-edge advancements and capabilities of modern technology. However, the repetition of the phrase also lends it a slightly ominous tone, hinting at the potential dangers and consequences of fully embracing and relying on technology in our daily lives.
Throughout the rest of the song, Destructo weaves in lyrics that describe the all-encompassing presence of technology in our lives ("everywhere I go, I see the lightning strike"), the way it can be both empowering and restrictive ("it's like a blessing and a curse"), and the potential for it to ultimately override our humanity ("we're gonna merge with machines").
Overall, "Technology" feels like a cautionary tale about the dark side of progress and the need to be mindful of the ways in which technology can impact our relationships, our sense of self, and the world around us.
