Noise

Crave the machine
Revere the screen
Zoom in for flak and misery
Bleed some pixels
 
Shoot yourself
Pose for the dead
Have a near-life experience
In a hot air matrix
 
Now you're a star
Vain avatar
Feeding the beast
In your loud Egoland
 
You have become
Tool of a tool
Digital ghouls
Telling you to
Shut up and dance!
 
Color a yarn and the crowds will gather
 
Noise
From a sunless world
Your mirror is black, only a copy stares back
At a slave of brave new world
Noise
To decoy the human voice
Brain insomniac, paranoiac
Endless noise
 
Please love me
See how I bleed
Please endure
I have such empathy in me
 
Hum, noise, hum
Beautifully numb
Tapping the quiet air
To have a meaning
 
By a carrion
Sad hologram
Lost in the maze
The real and human feel
 
Sunset is free
From this deity
The Earth has a real voice
Go out and get in
 
I will follow
 
Color a yarn and the crowds will gather
 
Noise
From a sunless world
Your mirror is black, only a copy stares back
At a slave of brave new world
Noise
To decoy the human voice
Brain insomniac, paranoiac
Endless noise
 
Feast your eyes on the black mirror
Feed the beast, join the gathering
Tell a tale
Feast of fears is drawing nearer
 
Feast your eyes on the black mirror
Feed the beast, join the gathering
Tell a tale
Feast of fears is drawing nearer
 
Beyond the human horizon
Something terrifying sleeps
 
Noise
From a sunless world
Your mirror is black, only a copy stares back
At a slave of brave new world
Noise
To decoy the human voice
Brain insomniac, paranoiac
Endless noise
 
Endless noise
Endless noise

Annotations

Tool of a tool: Quotation from Henry David Thoreau's book "Walden". The book was already quoted by the band in the album "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" (2015) in the song "My Walden".

Shut up and dance!: Quoting the title of an episode from the series "Black Mirror". In this episode, a boy is blackmailed by a hacker who managed to film him while he was masturbating to child pornography, forcing him into a number of crimes, from robbery to murder.

mirror is black: Refers again to the series "Black Mirror", which deals with the relationship between mankind and technology and the paths human lives take because of the latter.

brave new world: Quotes Aldous Huxley's book of the same name, which tells the story of a dystopian future in which mankind deals with psychological manipulation and conditioning operated through technology.

I edited the lyrics according to the verified ones and also added another video. The music video version skips one repeated verse.
