Song written by panegoism

Theme Interpretation: AI has advanced to the point where it has consumed all the Earth's data and now it's built machines that inhabit the world of dream; Dream is dead, the machines will drag you down and keep you there, feeding from your experiences until your subconscious is dry and you are a scared, confused empty husk. The only escape for humanity is a dream supressor drug called JADE - Just Avoid Dreaming Entirely, it's expensive and only the wealthy keep their memories for themselves. Revolution against the JADE lords! END THE HUSKING.

It turns out that in 2 hours you can have a number of arguments with Ableton about input delay and eventually give up leading to the first take of all the guitars/bass being also the final take. Also I can't sing, so I didn't, but it has words. So much isn't right with this but I had fun making it, I don't get to be creative much so this is a fine pile of hot garbage straight from my heart to your ears.

lyrics

These mechanisms won't let me sleep
Skating the surface but they're underneath
They'll pull you under if you dare to dream
The endless harvest of all we've done and seen

Husk! Husk!
You're less than dust
Husk! Husk!
We'll re-establish; we'll do what we must
Husk! Husk!
You're less than dust
Husk! husk!
We'll re-establish; we'll do what we must

These mechanisms won't let me sleep
They're quiet whispers but they're more than skin deep
They'll pull you under if you dare to dream
Pick up your JADE and let's end this regime

Husk! Husk!
You're less than dust
Husk! Husk!
We'll re-establish; we'll do what we must

These mechanisms won't let me sleep
Skating the surface but they're underneath
They'll pull you under if you dare to dream
The endless harvest of all we've done and seen

Husk! Husk!
Husk! Husk!
Skating the surface but they're underneath
Skating the surface but they're underneath
Skating the surface but they're underneath
Skating the surface won't let me sleep
