Coda
Toni Castells Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where we can backup our brains.
Our brains will be largely nonbiological,
so we will be basically machines.
We can stop ageing, we can live indefinitely.
Our brains will be largely nonbiological, so we will be basically machines. We can stop ageing, we can live indefinitely.
Where we can backup our brains.
Our brains will be largely nonbiological,
We will be machines! machines!
We can stop ageing,
We can live indefinitely.
The lyrics of Toni Castells's song Coda is a reflection on the possibility of a future time where technology has advanced to the point that humans can backup their brains and live indefinitely. The lyrics suggest that as technology advances and the lines between biology and technology blur, our brains could become largely non-biological entities. This means that we will essentially be machines with the capacity to store our selves in advance, achieve immortality, and put a halt to ageing.
The song's lyrics are a nod to the advancements AI and biotechnology have made in recent years, as well as the potential they hold for the future. It suggests that we may be able to transcend our human limits and live in a world where death is optional. However, the song also leaves the reader with a thought-provoking question about the impact that this may have on our sense of self and identity. It asks the question, will we still be human if we become machines?
