Virtual Insanity
Melodicka Bros Lyrics

Yeah, it's a wonder man can eat at all
It's amazing that we're able to sustain ourselves given the overwhelming nature of the world around us.

When things are big that should be small
In an age of grandiosity, what really matters has become lost in the shuffle.

Who can tell what magic spells we'll be doing for us
We have so much power at our fingertips that we can't begin to fathom what we might accomplish.

And I'm giving all my love to this world, only to be told, I can't see, I can't breathe
The artist has dedicated their life to the world around them, but they feel stifled and oppressed by the very society they've sought to help.

No more will we be
The future is uncertain and what once was may never be again.

And nothing's gonna change the way we live
The routines and habits we've developed are so deeply ingrained that that they're beyond change or rethinking.

'Cause we can always take, but never give
Humanity has become so selfish that we only consume resources without bothering to replenish them.

And now that things are changing for the worse, see
The artist sees darkness on the horizon, and fears that the world is only going to get worse.

Whoa, it's a crazy world we're living in
The world has become so chaotic and unpredictable that it's hard to find any sense of stability or comfort.

And I just can't see that half of us immersed in sin
There's so much wrongness in the world that the artist can't imagine how anyone is able to thrive or find happiness.

Is all we have to give these futures made of virtual insanity, now
Our obsession with new technologies and social media is leading us down a dangerous path full of unreal, superficial relationships and experiences.

Always seem to be governed by this love we have for useless, twisting, of our new technology
Our relationship with technology has become an end to itself, rather than a means of connecting with others and improving our lives.

Oh, now there is no sound, for we all live underground
Our obsession with technology has driven us underground, isolated from each other and the natural world.

And I'm thinking what a mess we're in, hard to know where to begin
The singer is overwhelmed by the problems of the modern world, and doesn't know how to start making things better.

If I could slip the sickly ties that earthly man has made
The singer longs to break free from the destructive patterns of human society, and live more in tune with the natural world.

And now every mother can choose the color of her child, that's not nature's way
Humanity has arrogantly assumed control over nature itself, playing god with things like genetics and reproduction.

Well, that's what they said yesterday, there's nothing left to do but pray
Despite all the progress and advances of human civilization, there's still a sense of hopelessness and fatalism pervading society.

I think it's time to find a new religion
The singer has lost faith in the old institutions and values of society, and believes that we need new ways of thinking and being in the world.

Whoa, it's so insane to synthesize another strain
Our blind worship of technology has led us to the point of hubris, where we think we can control and manipulate everything around us, even life itself.

There's something in these futures that we have to be told
There are hidden dangers lurking in our obsession with technology that we're not seeing or acknowledging.

Futures made of virtual insanity, now
Our future is being built on a foundation of absurdity and superficiality, rather than genuine connections and relationships.

Always seem to be governed by this love we have for useless, twisting, of our new technology
Our love affair with technology has become an addiction that we're unable to shake, no matter how much damage it's causing.

Oh, now there is no sound, for we all live underground
We're so obsessed with technology that we've lost touch with simple sensory pleasures like sound and touch, and exist in a virtual reality disconnected from the physical world.

Living in (virtual insanity)
The artist is pointing out the absurdity of our obsession with technology and the ways it's distorting our reality.

Living in (virtual insanity)
The repetition of this line emphasizes the bleakness of our situation and our inability to escape it.
