Story behind the song
The themes addressed in Synners were generally inspired by the novel of the same name written by Pat Cadigan. Even as we are proponents of technology in the world, we still found ourselves pondering a lot about the possible sociological implications of the man/machine relationship.
The video for this song took this concept one step further by studying the developments of serial killers in America and the question: Are serial killers nurtured into existence or rather pre-disposed to their fate by their genetic makeup?
Lyrics
In the datastream I found my soul
Change for the machines
Everybody wants some
Everybody needs some
Everybody has some
Get out and grab some
grab your modem, shed your skin
strap down, jack in
digital sex is a virtual sin
whoever dies with the most ram wins
never before have i felt as fine
as when i'm f*** ing my telephone line
sometimes it's hard not to get too bored
sometimes it's hard to keep my hands on the keyboard
upgrade your hardware, lose your soul
boot your software, lose control
stroke your joystick, once again
whoever dies with the most ram wins
my body electric is filled with your fire
give in to the darkness, give in to desire
i just flip the switches and then it begins
whoever dies with the most ram wins
change for the machines
all we ever do is
change for the machines
