about

That technology was an essential part in the creation of Empires Fall... in no way diminishes the truth of the danger we face from the machines and the devices we've made. This warning is as relevant to me as it is to you.

lyrics

No one is who they want to be
The alarms are ringing constantly
I’m flaming people I can’t see
‘cause I don’t care how they feel

I’m writing things I may believe
I’ll be satisfied if it’s funny
If people like, share, and Tweet
You know what that means…

Nothing
Gotta unplug

We seem to prize anonymity
so we can abandon civility
I’ll call you names and post memes
Then ghost you if we disagree

All the world’s connecting
with errant thoughts, words, and deeds
Full of sound and fury
Carrying the same meaning…

Nothing
Gotta unplug
Gotta unplug

We’re slaves to technology
Instead of who we should be
Existing every day virtually
‘cause we’re addicted to our screens

We’re living lives of futility
Tapping and clicking endlessly
Perhaps what we really need
Is to keep it real

Keep it real
Gotta unplug

Gotta unplug
