Micropolis A.D. Lyrics

O Superman.
Annotated cry of 'O Superman' expresses a general sense of chaos and confusion.

O judge.
Annotated cry of 'O judge' expresses a feeling of hopelessness and dependence on authority figures for guidance.

O Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad. O Superman. O judge. O Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad.
Repetition of various characters' names is used to convey a sense of desperation and isolation.

Hi.
A disconnected and impersonal greeting mirroring the lack of connection between the artist and the outside world.

I'm not home right now.
The artist is physically absent from their surroundings and not available for interaction with the outside world.

But if you want to leave a message, just start talking at the sound of the tone.
The singer is only reachable through technology and requires pre-recorded messages, further emphasizing the lack of personal connection to the outside world.

Hello? This is your Mother. Are you there? Are you coming home? Hello? Is anybody home?
An imagined conversation with a desperate and unnamed mother figure worried about the singer's absence, reflecting a sense of abandonment and isolation.

Well, you don't know me, but I know you. And I've got a message to give to you.
The artist has a sense of knowledge and power over the listener, creating a sense of unease and confusion.

Here come the planes. So you better get ready. Ready to go.
An incoming threat is imminent, and the listener needs to prepare for it to come.

You can come as you are, but pay as you go. Pay as you go. And I said: OK.
Entering a new phase of life won’t be easy and will require payment, an acknowledgment of new challenges and hardships.

Who is this really? And the voice said: This is the hand, the hand that takes. This is the hand, the hand that takes. This is the hand, the hand that takes.
The voice on the phone speaks in cryptic and ominous terms, immediately establishing it as an untrustworthy source.

Here come the planes. They're American planes. Made in America. Smoking or non-smoking?
The incoming threat mentioned earlier is American-made, raising questions about responsibility and accountability for the incoming consequences.

And the voice said: Neither snow nor rain nor gloom of night shall stay these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.
The voice on the phone quotes a popular phrase used by the United States Postal Service indicating their reliability, further confusing the listener.

'Cause when love is gone, there's always justice. And when justive is gone, there's always force. And when force is gone, there's always Mom. Hi Mom!
Power is stripped away from the singer's relationships and connections, leading to the only constant figure of support to be a maternal figure.

So hold me, Mom, in your long arms. So hold me, Mom, in your long arms. In your automatic arms. Your electronic arms. In your arms. So hold me, Mom, in your long arms. Your petrochemical arms. Your military arms. In your electronic arms.
The singer desires comfort and support from their mother, highlighting the need for personal connection in times of distress.
