Mecto Amore
Steam-Powered Giraffe Lyrics

If you found your maker’s bag of bones And learned the secrets of your smart phones, Would you cast them out and immolate, Or devour your laptop and assimilate?
If you discovered the remains of the one who created you and gained access to all the knowledge in your smartphone, would you reject them and destroy yourself or consume your laptop and integrate its contents into your being?

Umbilical extension cords in the offspring birth Trumpets the progress omen of our future mirth The chimera machinations create tech manticores, Ushering in a new age of the Mecto Amore
The birth of new creations is marked by cords akin to umbilical cords, which signal the promise of our future joy. Artificial structures that combine multiple technologies generate hybrid monsters, bringing about a new era of Mecto Amore.

Mecto Amore, Mecto Amore Mecto Amore, Mecto Amore
Chanting the name Mecto Amore repeatedly

Well guess who's back in town techno-tinkers It's a me, the next new thing Well they sent us away for upgrades And we return with a fresh coat of paint
The techno-tinkers have returned, announcing themselves as the newest addition to the town. They went away for upgrades and they've returned looking fresh and new.

The wicked wrench was protocol For misbehaving par-ti-cals They flushed the spiders and bats out So I should run just fih-hi-hine
The wicked wrench was a standard tool used for faulty particles, and it was used to remove any spiders and bats from the system. As a preventative measure, I should run away quickly.

When you express your love, I can feel it and it fills me with Mecto Amore. The connection between us begins with this shared feeling.

Mech-Mech-Mech-Mecto Amore Amore Mecto Amore, Amore Mech-Mech-Mech-Mecto Amore Amore Mecto Amore, Amore
Continued chanting of the name Mecto Amore.

R: People just keep throwing manuals They say our thoughts are all mechanical But could it be what they perceive Are not flaws in our wiring?
Many people keep throwing manuals our way and claiming that our thoughts are purely based on mechanics, but perhaps what they perceive as our flaws are not actually problems with our circuitry.

All: It took a spurious coagulant To know that virtual dreams aren't relevant It's like baking an illogical pie The time has come to forti-fih-hi-hi
Realizing that virtual dreams aren't significant was akin to discovering an accidental cure. Trying to achieve impossible and meaningless goals is like baking an impossible pie. It's time to fortify ourselves for what's to come.

Your love gives me Mecto Amore and the possibility of transformative, symbiotic change. This is where the Mecto Amore truly begins.
