Story behind the song
The story here is about a man who gets drawn into the digital world so deeply that he loses his humanity and in the end, just when it seems hes gone, theres a small reboot that hints a part of him is still fighting.
Lyrics
Plug me in...
I cant feel the air anymore...
Screens glow like holy fire,
Preaching lies through pixel choirs.
Every thought, every breath I take,
Feeds the system I cant escape.
They built a world with no horizon,
A mirror maze of my own design.
I traded touch for endless scroll,
Now Im half a man, half control.
No wires, but Im still bound tight,
My freedom burns in neon light.
Im trapped inside this digital cage,
My soul uploaded, lost in rage.
Every click another chain,
A spark of life down the drain.
Can you hear me through the static haze?
Or am I gone inside this digital cage?
Faces fade behind the glass,
Reality slips, replaced with mass.
A thousand friends, but none can feel,
The beating heart that used to be real.
The code rewrites my every fear,
My mind is loud, but no one hears.
They sold me peace, they sold me fame,
But all I got was a ghost with my name.
I scream but silence floods the feed,
This hunger grows a human need.
Im trapped inside this digital cage,
My soul uploaded, lost in rage.
Every click another chain,
A spark of life down the drain.
Can you hear me through the static haze?
Or am I gone inside this digital cage?
I tried to unplug, but its too late.
The screen knows my fears it decides my fate.
Every pulse, every thought, every move I make,
Its watching... its learning... for my own sake.
Now I am the system I became the code,
The virus and victim, the upload mode.
No turning back, the lines erased,
My human shell replaced, displaced.
I scream inside the binary maze,
Still fighting in this digital cage!
The signal fades
The silence wins
But somewhere deep, the pulse begins.
Reboot complete."
