Slovian - Cyberpunk

Sometimes I feel like we live in a constant simulation…
everything around us is the result of digital calculation…

Once it was kind of nicer, kind of more real,
times will never be like they used to, because we have irreversibly crossed the line.

Technology keeps moving in a straight line, while we seem to be on bigger curves,
nowadays many things are easier for most, yet something still nips at our heels.
New times bring new problems, while the old reality still has blood on its hands,
what awaits us when we know so much, constant progress is a gift but also a torment.

Once weak phones, but strong friendships, today it’s slowly becoming the opposite,
times have changed drastically for the world, far too late to go back.
Everything suddenly became disturbingly serious when the world started crumbling day by day,
we forgot what truly matters, seeing everything through virtual bars.

The world is in ruins, and we lose our humanity through VRs,
viruses, diseases, tons of gray matter create a ghetto in our minds.
When did we lose beauty? When did hell fall upon us from the sky?
Thanks to this escape, we’re warm... though it’s dark...

They announce they will implant chips in our heads, and that it’s good,
there’s probably more risk in it than good, but...
FUTURE IS NOW OLD MAN.
Every other person has plans bigger than their willingness to look in the mirror,
on Instagram, filters show you how to cover the thought that inside it’s empty.

Infrared in the eyes, blades from the forearms, and tell me these are still people,
titanium skeletons, and scanners in fingers will scan your thoughts when you’re not talking.
In this center of criminals, business, and sin, where implanting something is easier than falling asleep,
because everywhere there are neon lights, billboards, and drones, this city blinds and misleads.

Eyes still filled with sadness, and blood from the forearms, and tell me these are good times,
for every defect, there's a matched remedy, mounted directly and quickly to the face.
Heh, laughter is all that’s left for me because these times are changing faster than, honestly, I don’t even know what,
and by the way, let’s not get lost in this, join others at the party, mate.
