The Veldt
deadmau5 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Look what they made, they made it for me happy, technology
Outside the lions roam, feeding on remains
We'll never leave, look at us now
So in love with the way we are, here
The world that the children made
The world that the children made
Every night they rock us to sleep, digital family
Is it real or is it a dream, can you believe the machines
Outside, the beating sun, can you hear the screams
We'll never leave, look at us now
So in love with the way we are, here
The world that the children made
The world that the children made, here
The world that the children made, here
The world that the children made
Here
The world that the children made
Here
The world that the children made, here
The world that the children made
The opening line of the song "Happy life with the machines scattered around the room" sets the tone for the entire song, which is an exploration of the relationship between humans and technology. The machines provide comfort and happiness to the singer, who seems to be living in a digitally constructed world. The line "Look what they made, they made it for me happy, technology" highlights the idea that the machines are not just a product of human inventiveness, but are designed specifically to make people happy.
The contrast between the digital world and the outside world is also highlighted in the song. While the singer is happy and content in the world that the machines have created, outside there are lions roaming and feeding on remains. This could be a metaphor for the decay and destruction that can occur in the real world, while the digital world remains a source of comfort and safety.
The repeated phrase "The world that the children made" suggests that the digital world is not just for adults, but has been created by children. The line "Every night they rock us to sleep, digital family" reinforces the idea that the digital world is like a family - something that provides comfort and a sense of belonging.
Overall, "The Veldt" is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between humans and technology. It suggests that while technology can provide comfort and happiness, there may be a danger in becoming too reliant on it.

Happy life with the machines,
Scattered around the room
Look what they made, they made it for me
Happy Technology
Outside the lions room, feeding on remains
We'll never leave, look at us now
so in love with the way we are, here
The world of the children made
The world of the children made, here
The world that the children made, here
The world that the children made
Every night they rock us to sleep,
digital family
is it real, or is it a dream,
can you believe in machines
outside the beating sun, can you hear the screams
We'll never leave, look at us now
so in love with the way we are, here
The world that the children made
The world that the children made, here
The world that the children made, here
The world that the children made, here
The world that the children made, here
The world made the children made
Happy life with the machines,
Scattered around the room
Look what they made, they made it for me
Happy Technology
Outside the lions room, feeding on remains
We'll never leave, look at us now
so in love with the way we are, here

I heard 30 seconds of this song when I was 12, and my Ma spent 2 hours finding it for me... rest in peace Ma, we all miss you and your endless kindness ❤️

Even my ma passed last year
They're always a part of us brother
As long as we breathe...
Stay strong
