Nanovirus
Exotype Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you hear me?
Can you feel it?
Can you hear me?
Can you feel it? Can you hear me?
The carcinogen encapsulates my traits
And shakes my fate into a stasis
The assessment has been made
I wouldn't give my life to leave the whole world faceless
I am genetically predisposed to feel this is
More real than it's ever been
You can touch it taste it until the end
Jump!
More real than it's ever been
You can touch it, taste it, until the end
You've got your dreams you’re not ready to go
You've got your life and you can take it slow
You've got to live with the choices you've made
So let the poison course through your veins
It's eating away at you from the inside out
The guilt is sickness, corrupting your conscience, spread by word of mouth
Can you feel it? Can you hear me?
Upload the blame to your mainframe, I rise up as you fall
You've got your dreams you're not ready to go
You've got your life and you can take it slow
You've got to live with the choices you've made
So let the poison course through your veins
Can you feel it?
The assessment has been made. The machines will decide your fate
You've got your dreams you're not ready to go
You've got your life and you can take it slow
You've got to live with the choices you've made
So let the poison course through your veins
The machines will decide your fate
Fate
Can you feel it? Can you hear me?
The song "Nanovirus" by Exotype explores themes of technology, genetic predisposition, and the consequences of our choices. The repeated lines "Can you feel it? Can you hear me?" suggest a sense of urgency and a desire for connection with the listener. The lyrics "The carcinogen encapsulates my traits and shakes my fate into a stasis" convey a sense of being trapped or stuck in one's circumstances, possibly due to a genetic predisposition to a certain illness or behavior. The singer acknowledges that they would not give their life to leave the world faceless, suggesting a desire for purpose or impact.
The chorus urges the listener to embrace their dreams, take life at their own pace, and accept the consequences of their choices. The line "let the poison course through your veins" could be interpreted metaphorically as accepting the negative consequences of our actions or our circumstances. The line "upload the blame to your mainframe, I rise up as you fall" suggests a shifting of responsibility or blame, and perhaps a fear of the power of technology to control our lives and decisions.
Overall, "Nanovirus" is a thought-provoking exploration of the effects of genetics and technology on our lives, and the importance of personal responsibility and agency in navigating these factors.
