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

The story behind the song

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 rebellious 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.
