New Religion 06:42
There’s a new religion, maybe you have heard Trying to explain the modern world Data is the deity, website is a church We are just processors in a net Are you a believer? Will you let it sleep right by your bed Will you let it link into your head Data is the deity, website is a church We are just processing cores in the world wide web Are you a believer? We are all important, we have precious lives Just remember one thing - like, share and subscribe The congregation which meets on distant farms in Iceland Will keep you company in every moment you hold dear They’ll offer you their friendship with their thoughts and prayers They will be there to witness every single joy and fear Your new look, your wildest party Your new car, your latest holiday Your first love and your third baby Your new home, your time with childhood friends The greatest wisdom from the valley far in California Has all the answers you’ve been looking for Long before you speak of it or think of it Everything that you ever wanna know What to want and where to buy it What to learn and what to do for work What to like and who to marry What to hate and who you’re voting for

Brother to brother - mortal foes Daughter to mother - enemies sworn Neighbor to neighbor - real despise Partner to partner - cutthroat lies Someone wants it that way Someone plays it like a game Sowing the seeds of discord Sowing the seeds of discord Sowing the seeds of discord Sowing the seeds of discord Rich to the poor - sheer disdain Poor to the rich - greed and hate Old to the young - pure neglect Young to the old - disrespect Someone wants it that way Someone plays it like a game Sowing the seeds of discord Sowing the seeds of discord Sowing the seeds of discord Sowing the seeds of discord

Far is the ultimate goal of my flight Long is the distance from home Sad - being stuck in this box all my life Floating through limitless void Starbound explorers of distant lands Searching for glory but not in their days Maybe their children will have a say Starbound explorers don’t live to tell the tale Hot is the fuel that is melting the core Cold is the space all around One soon I’ll be with the limitless void None is my chance to be found

Weltschmerz 05:33
Days are all the same Nothing ever changes No one ever comes Life is put at rest I feel like I’m lost in a time loop Air is getting dense I am slightly choking Walls are getting high I am still inside I feel like I’m lost in a time loop Maybe today’s the day You will set me free Air is getting dense I am slightly choking Walls are getting high I am still inside I feel like I’m lost in a time loop Maybe today’s the day You will set me free

No move, no sound Both feet on the ground Stay back, it’s clear They’ll never know you’re here Don’t speak, lie low It’s safe, it’s known Tick-tock, time slips Don’t ever take the risk As hours turn into days The road is fading from sight Excitement trembles and breaks The journey ends inside Back then, long ago I cared, I was young Set goals, made plans Accomplished what I said These days it’s changed Got too much on my plate Don’t blame anyone It simply can’t be done As hours turn into days The road is fading from sight Excitement trembles and breaks The journey ends inside

Why do you speak? There is nothing to say Where do you go? There is nowhere to be Why do you leave? There is nothing to look for Will you return if there’s nothing to miss? Time is flying, people trying Day by day Wheels are churning, Earth is turning All the same Fail and they’ll never forget it Quit - they’ll be calling you weak Why do you start? You’re unable to finish Why do you run? There is nothing to win Time is flying, people trying Day by day Wheels are churning, Earth is turning All the same

Are you really gonna replace me with robots? Do they ever move you like I do? Life seems kinda vain in the icy metal brain Do you really think a machine will be better? Does it have the flaws that make you mad? It seems quite a bore in the cold robotic core From the outside I look hollow Only metal, wires and bolts You may see me as an object But inside I have a soul Do you really think they’ll continue to serve us When they are superior in all ways? We should hide and brace for the automatic rage! First I'm just a gimmick - you can tell your friends Ask me anything, you'll see how much I understand Now I'm everywhere, I'm the hottest news Rules do not apply cause I'm so sexy I’m so cool You're no longer needed, I will do your job Million times as fast and maybe only slightly worse Let me run your business, let me write my code You can sit back and enjoy it while I take the world

about

Men. Mind. Machine is the debut album by Cobalt Wave — a modern progressive rock band from Poland. The record explores themes of isolation, pressure, and the fractured self in a digital world. Melodic yet heavy, it blends electric guitars, synths and piano with tight rhythms and emotionally charged vocals.
