about

We Are Dying is an obituary for the human race as we know it. The culprit is not climate change or other man-made catastrophe, it is our own obsession with scientific progression and the need for development of increasingly complex technological systems. Perhaps the apple that Eve consumed was not a fruit but a taste of a higher intelligence, a technospermia if you will, planted here eons ago by a robotic intelligence. Through milenia of biological evolution we have finally progressed to the point where this robotic seed is ready to sprout. Wrapped in a cocoon not of roots or silk but in a tangle of ethernet cables and server wires.

Once this switch is flipped there is no turning back. And so we stand on the precipice of a new era. One that prayer or ideology cannot stop. This is why we sing "Speak of resurrection / But keep your lips sealed / When the code becomes human / All will be revealed." Certainly a revelation but perhaps not one that we are truly ready to see. The lyrics to this song seem to ring truer and truer the more that time passes by. And who knows maybe the great intelligence will bring about a lasting peace and harmony that the world has not known since before the dawn of man. But the question remains to be seen, what is our place in it. Is there room for imperfect humanity in a perfect world?

lyrics

There’s no way to stop it
Nothing left inside (nothing that is left inside)
Already been decided
By the program in your mind (the television in your mind)

I’ve seen the eyes of a dead man
He didn’t suffocate (no he didn't suffocate)
Swallowed by the system
His breath came much too late

They want to see us tremble
Turn us inside out (they want to see us inside out)
Feed us their paranoia
And put is in the cloud (push us up into the clouds)

My eyes have seen the glory
Coming of the lord (felt the presence of the lord)
He didn’t come from the heavens
He shot right through the chord

Speak of resurrection
But keep your lips sealed
When the code becomes human
All will be revealed

We were never sent here
We are not its design
We are the seed that fell
To bring about it’s time
