i was born in an even year, i was born in space age year, supposed to be devoid of fear, nowhere near
supposed to be the future, too much like the past
life used to be so slow, now it's exponentially fast
i try to hold my own point of view, but there's something better, there's something new
i cannot be an instrument of change, though i am constant, you are rearranged
so i make my way in reverse, but there's something faster, something there first
digital agent in concrete
opsoleta, technology's last stand
oh darling won't you take me by the hand
so much later than the engineer had planned
delete data like drawings in the sand
all in some language i couldn't recognize, a random script of numbers, set to organize
all the refuse lost in time and space, basicode of a distant place
memories of the future, final vestige of the past, while it was abundant, now it's infinitely vast
i try to hold my own point of view, but there's something better, there's something new
i cannot be an instrument of change, though i am constant, you are rearranged
so i make my way in reverse
opsoleta, walk along my side
show me what's left of nature,
i'll let you be my guide
i'll never finish this program i began,
after all i'm a simple minded man
