We Become Real
Philosophy
So death defying
Don’t look at me
I’m just white guying
Prophesy
So mesmerizing
What’s to come
That’s advertising
We are the causes of our own suffering
Video screens data buffering
Early mornings always rushing
Never find no time for loving
Astronomy
So nullifying
The universe
Keeps multiplying
Biology
So terrifying
When we are born
We begin dying
We are real
We belong here
We are young real
We become real

About
This started as a cool little loop on my phone that I just wanted to mess around with. When I moved it over to Pro Tools and started added stuff, I had added an 80s-ish synth. The more I listened, the more it sounded like it was a children’s choir singing the “we become real” words. So I essentially started the lyric-writing process by transcribing what I heard in that part, and wrote the other words based on how I interpreted that otherworldly message.
