And We Are All I

This track blends industrial rock aggression with a live-room atmosphere. It delivers a warning about manipulation, division, and the slow surrender of individuality by AI and the powers that control it.

Driven by pounding drums, crunchy guitars, and haunting layered vocals, the song paints a world where fear and control are packaged as safety and progress. The lyrics challenge the illusion of opposing sides and question the systems that profit from keeping people divided, distracted, and dependent.

Built around a relentless E–F–G progression. The guitar riff has been playing in my head for at least 5 years now and it feels so good to finally put lyrics to it and publish.

The riff came in just a few minutes many years ago. I finally decided to put serious effort into writing lyrics that matched the feeling I have each time I play the riff. There’s something rebelious it. Once I started, the words kept flowing and I had to delete 4 verses. Otherwise, the song was over six minutes long! I think I have way too much to say.

At its core, the song is about identity, free thought, and the fear of losing what makes us human. The “chip goes in” refrain becomes both a metaphor and a warning — a symbol of surrendering choice, belief, and individuality to AI systems that promise convenience while demanding obedience. Dark, provocative, and emotionally charged, this track tries to capture thoughts I have way too often.

Song Lyrics

[verse]
Plug in, chip in
Connect to the cloud
We’ll tell you what you want to hear
So you don’t speak so loud

[verse]
They make us think
There are 2 sides
There is no left
There is no right

[verse]
When the camera’s on
Their smiles a mile wide
The show must go on
And keep the great divide

[chorus]
What are we thinking?
How can we be so blind?
We follow the pied piper
Believe the same old lies
There’s only me and you
And we are all I

[verse]
Why not have one world
With an overseeing eye?
We’ll keep you safe
And tell you when to die.

[verse]
Truth is not what they say
Truth is they are afraid
That we will wake up
They may not get paid

[verse]
We know what’s best
You must trust the science
We say there is no god
Trust US…we are the highest

[chorus]
What are we thinking?
How can we be so blind?
We follow the pied piper
Believe the same old lies
There’s only me and you
And we are all I

[bridge]
You like being unique?
You like to think you can win?
That all goes away
When the chip goes in
I choose what to eat, when to sleep
What to believe in
That all goes away
When the chip goes in

[verse]
You see the difference I’m sure
If you don’t, you will
We’ll program you to
Bow to our will

[chorus]
What are we thinking?
How can we be so blind?
We follow the pied piper
Believe the same old lies
There’s only me and you
And we are all I
