Application/Apparatus Lyrics
[00:50.54] Application, soothing like a mother's voice
[00:53.71] Speaks instructions, to me in my native tongue
[00:57.02] Bluetooth option, paying for itself in stars
[01:00.22] Conversation, difficult with anyone
[01:04.00]
[01:16.42] Operating mechanism with a name
[01:20.04] Limo license, picture shows a friendly face
[01:22.93] Information, liquid crystal looking glass
[01:26.10] Navigation, effortless as shifting lanes
[01:29.19]
[01:42.26] Crowdsourced data, satellite delivery
[01:45.46] "This is for your people", I was told to say
[01:48.72] Destination entered into a machine
[01:52.01] Unfamiliar neighborhood, but not for her
[01:55.06]
[02:07.90] Soft narration in a soothing female voice
[02:11.34] Body reacts, I'm thinking of something else
[02:14.62] Rearview mirror, foreign conversation eyes
[02:17.79] Silent greeting executed flawlessly
[02:20.76]
[02:50.18] Apparatus subject to an engine's will
[02:53.49] Arrow pointing digital light to a field
[02:56.66] Time and distance factored into everything
[02:59.90] Cop rehearsal, say what you were told to say
[03:03.14] Mass migration, occupying forces stayed
[03:06.27] Satisfaction rating advertised with pride
[03:09.61] Rebel soldiers, freedom fighters, some would say
[03:12.68] Charging cable, offered as a sign of peace
[03:16.06] Waiting for a stranger on a crowded street
[03:19.33] Urban living, standards rising constantly
[03:22.42] Western cities, people driving orderly
[03:25.74] Phone, card, hustle, calculation constantly
[03:28.98] Friendly speaker, tells me "In a thousand feet"
[03:32.22] 5G signal, guides my head to shift the gears
[03:35.46] Grim reminder, war cannot be truly fled
[03:38.07] Worker status on the dash for all to see
[03:41.78]
[04:12.52] Young people enjoying urban habitation
[04:15.76] Headlights beaming with western potential
[04:19.00] Carried through a noisy, crowded city
[04:22.23] Carriage sleeping children into the light of morning
[04:25.30] The operating mechanism returns to its resting human state
[04:31.62]
[00:53.71] Speaks instructions, to me in my native tongue
[00:57.02] Bluetooth option, paying for itself in stars
