Childhood's End (Lonely Passenger)

Story Behind The Song

It used to be more clear-cut, black and white, cut and dried when I was a kid - there wasn't 24x7 social everything. Identity was usually simple - now, it's all about moving the minds of the masses. This talks to what's real vs virtual.

Song Description

Inspired by Arthur C Clarke's work, this marries the existential crisis of the populous with overbearing fascist social engineering.

Song Length 5:21 Genre Rock - Classic, Rock - Alternative
Lead Vocal Male Vocal Mood Troubled, Incensed
Subject Revolution, Protest Similar Artists Radiohead
Language English Era 1970 - 1979

Lyrics

Childhood's End (Lonely Passenger)

(spoken)
And then you wonder
What's left?
What's ahead?
What's done?
What the fuck have we done?

I'm just a lonely passenger along for the ride
I sit in the back taking pleasure in that no one notices I notice back

My sin of silence sings for you
It's the only thing that's ever show
The voided life I've never know
And then was one from two

I'm just a digit
a random bit, imperfect prime
Turing's own engines never predicted
Simplicity factored for time

And then I sit and dream of you
Well a kernel's connection to random connections
Could never envision you

Divisibility is proof
It encapsulates the way I feel
The way that's real that way that's true
The way that I was with you

Comply, and you're safe and sound
Until retribution's found
Just lay low, your law man's comin' round

And then they try to keep you down
It's revolution town!
Just stay low, let's go
Countdown...
