Description
Our inability to communicate with others without a computer screen/telephone/text window in between us is at the heart of this song. Some things should just be done face to face, not facebook to facebook...
Lyrics
I think its well past time For a – a shift in this paradigm Where the only way a conversation transpires Is through copper wires The vibrations are tearing us apart Is that a pulse I feel Or your electromagnetism? Our light’s been scattered By this cellular prism. But now books and faces Fill my – fill my digital spaces It’s so easy to be anyone Or anything just by plugging in The plasma hides the way I feel – I feel the space between us Has grown far too wide for cable Maybe it’s time to log off Before we’re unable We’ve lived our whole love Through the screens of these machines And so far as I can tell it’s worked out fine But for once lets just see eye to eye And face to face And do this final fall in real time. Its funny how a little grain of sand – Vitrified – can run our lives And crystalline definition Takes us to the next level Of man and woman. The time is ripe To test our connection While there’s still enough memory To make a correction And daylight is so bright We cover up our skin We cannot let it in Don’t let it in
