Lyrics for Countermovement

[offset:0] ♫ It's a feeling so strong, it can't be wrong From it I take my cues, it could be jazz or the blues Not any time soon will my feet hit the ground But elsewhere they'll be time to share Since I made up my mind Not to keep up with these maddening times We're just travelers in a misunderstood land Across misunderstood lines Obeying misunderstood signs Step to forgive Dream a dream Replenish the seemingly endless light of life Since I made up my mind Not to keep up with these maddening times Anytime soon Could the tide be turning? Fulfilling what you're yearning Ungoverned by the moments at one with everything It's a feeling so strong, it can't be wrong From it I take my cues, it could be jazz or the blues Since I made up my mind Not to keep up with these maddening times Any time soon Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da Doo-doo-doo, jazz or the blues Artificial lives, made to socialize Moments crystallize Tactile compromise Lost and hypnotized New world synthesized In the age of AI, there goes you and I Wandering through a new dimension Ever changing in the blink of an eye Where only truth is what we're leaving behind I don't want to be a false identity Stimulation imitation me I don't want to be hung up on imagery A self-inflated, overrated identity Wandering through a new dimension Ever changing in the blink of an eye Where only truth is what we leave in a blink of an eye Subject personified Lost and hypnotized Real world compromised Wasted days race by in a blink of AI I don't want to be a false identity Stimulation imitation me I don't need a part of me imaginary ♫ I don't want to be a false identity Stimulation imitation me I don't need a part of me imaginary I don't want to be a false identity Stimulation imitation me I don't need a part of me imaginary
