Lewis Parker, Jehst - Communications lyrics

(What)
I often ask myself, 'Why is time so rigid?'
We can isolate the motion
But can we really see what's in it?
Technology's invented in this
World of communication
Magnificent machines built to
Change the perception of everyday living
They selling the images for lifestyles
I'm wild because of nature

Back through the ages rhymes on the pages
And beats on the sampler
Simple things you must master
See you must learn
Never burn away those bridges

Not material sickness
Because we're dealing with emotion
I observe the impulsion
And keep my devotion elsewhere
Become one with the air
Instead of one with the computer
Where the digital monster inevitable
Controls our future in a world run on credit
The truth's all about perspective
And journalists edit words after you said it
But those styles can get hectic
Because there bias is seen as fact
And it's run throughout the history
Of man across the map

"Listen up to what I'm saying here"

I wanna feel the sea breeze and see trees
Not G3s and PCs
We live our lives between screens

I can't breakaway
I stay away making beats, eating takeaway
And that's not natures way (Nah)
So my focus is broken i need to be open
The sea brought the ocean mist
To the mix down my 950 with the 16-bit sound
I'm spellbound in this digital existence
Hot wax melt down for your systems
Infrared vision clarified as the ink flows
I'm watching the world
Through Microsoft windows
Square-eyes syndrome part-time technophobe
Semi-robotic head nodding to the metronome
I see you all next episode
In this world of xenophobes
Who communicate via telephones
But, I'm eyes are both telescopes
Jehst! I post e mail
In brown paper envelopes
I only ever hope to reach equilibrium
In nature's matrix online with the meridian

"Listen up to what I'm saying here"
