SeanTwisted - Artifice Collide Lyrics

Zeros and ones, they're flooding the scene
Where I used to bleed on stages unseen
My guitar gathers dust, while algorithms play
Is this progress or just decay

Late nights coding, early mornings gigging
Now both worlds collide, and my mind's spinning
Do I embrace the change or rage against the tide
As authenticity and artifice collide

Silicon melodies, soulless and clean
Efficient perfection, but what does it mean

Remember the struggle, the sweat, and the pain
Countless rejections before the refrain
Now AI's churning out hits by the minute
But where's the story, the soul within it

I'm caught in the crossfire of art and machine
In love with the future, but mourning what i've seen
I've got terabytes of data at my fingertips
But can it capture the tremor in my lips
When I sang of heartbreak and whiskey-soaked nights
Can silicon dreams reach those emotional heights?Zeros and ones, they're flooding the scene
Where I used to bleed on stages unseen
My guitar gathers dust, while algorithms play
Is this progress or just decay

Late nights coding, early mornings gigging
Now both worlds collide, and my mind's spinning
Do I embrace the change or rage against the tide
As authenticity and artifice collide

Silicon melodies, soulless and clean
Efficient perfection, but what does it mean

Remember the struggle, the sweat, and the pain
Countless rejections before the refrain
Now AI's churning out hits by the minute
But where's the story, the soul within it

I'm caught in the crossfire of art and machine
In love with the future, but mourning what i've seen
I've got terabytes of data at my fingertips
But can it capture the tremor in my lips
When I sang of heartbreak and whiskey-soaked nights
Can silicon dreams reach those emotional heights

We dreamed of a world where music was free
But not like this, not this mockery
Innovation's promise, a double-edged sword
Our passion digitized, our essence ignored
I'm caught between nostalgia and awe
At the beauty and terror of what I saw
A world where creativity knows no bounds
But human touch becomes background sounds

In dingy bars where legends were born
We forged our sound, ragged and torn
Now pristine tracks emerge from the cloud
Is this evolution to make us proud

Silicon melodies, soulless and clean
Efficient perfection, but what does it mean

Silicon melodies, soulless and clean
Efficient perfection, but what does it mean

Silicon melodies, soulless and clean
Efficient perfection, but what does it mean

I'm caught in the crossfire of art and machine
In love with the future, but mourning what i've seen
I've got terabytes of data at my fingertips
But can it capture the tremor in my lips
When I sang of heartbreak and whiskey-soaked nights
Can silicon dreams reach those emotional heights

What Does it mean
What Does it mean
What Does It mean

We dreamed of a world where music was free
But not like this, not this mockery
Innovation's promise, a double-edged sword
Our passion digitized, our essence ignored
I'm caught between nostalgia and awe
At the beauty and terror of what I saw
A world where creativity knows no bounds
But human touch becomes background sounds

In dingy bars where legends were born
We forged our sound, ragged and torn
Now pristine tracks emerge from the cloud
Is this evolution to make us proud

Silicon melodies, soulless and clean
Efficient perfection, but what does it mean

Silicon melodies, soulless and clean
Efficient perfection, but what does it mean

Silicon melodies, soulless and clean
Efficient perfection, but what does it mean

I'm caught in the crossfire of art and machine
In love with the future, but mourning what i've seen
I've got terabytes of data at my fingertips
But can it capture the tremor in my lips
When I sang of heartbreak and whiskey-soaked nights
Can silicon dreams reach those emotional heights

What Does it mean
What Does it mean
What Does It mean
