Hyperreality

Digital footprints
Permanently carved in the sand
An endless firehose of spectacles
In the palm of your hand
The future's been cancelled
The past only implied
Authenticity in cyberspace
A plastic world outside

Simulate the unreal
Dissociate what you feel
Generate a new zeal for the past
Reify the facade
Commodify who you are
Truth dies when lies are taken for fact

Shadows projected by candlelight
On the wall of a cave
Illusion and reality
Create the same brainwaves
Observe the procession of simulacra
Life imitates art
What actually matters but is hard to find
Is what comes from the heart

Simulate the unreal
Dissociate what you feel
Generate a new zeal for the past
Reify the facade
Commodify who you are
Truth dies when lies are taken for fact

Simulate the unreal
Dissociate what you feel
Generate a new zeal for the past
Reify the facade
Commodify who you are
Truth dies when lies are taken for fact
