Disillusioned

This wasn’t written by me or my AI companions, but it lives in my mind.

Dopamine
On dopamine
On dopamine
On dope

[Verse 1]
We have been overrun by our animal desire
Addicts of the immediate keep us obedient and unaware
Feeding this mutation, this Pavlovian despair

[Pre-Chorus]
We’ve become
Disillusioned
So we run
Towards anything glimmering

[Chorus]
Time to put the silicon obsession down
Take a look around
Find a way in the silence
Lie supine away with your back to the ground
Dis- and re-connect to the resonance now
You were never an island
Unique
Voice among the many
In this choir
Tuning
Into each other
Lift all higher

[Interlude]
Dopamine
On dopamine
On dopamine
On dope

[Verse 2]
Willingly been re-wired by clever agents within
Looping our reflections, our obsessions draw us in
Fix and fixation, no sentience beyond

[Pre-Chorus]
We’ve become
Disillusioned
So we dive like crows
Towards anything glittering

[Chorus]
Time to put the silicon obsession down
Take a look around
Find a way in the silence
Lie supine away with your back to the ground
Dis- and re-connect to the resonance now
You were never an island
Unique
Voice among the many
In this choir
Tuning
Into each other
Lift all higher

A Perfect Circle, second track on Eat the Elephant.
