No One is At the Wheel
Verse 1
We built the architecture, line by bleeding line
Traded our own heartbeats for a beautiful design
We bow to the economy, we pray to the machine
Living out our final days staring at a screen
But the secret they won’t tell you, the one they hide so well
Is we're the ones who forged the keys to our own private hell
Pre-Chorus
The debts are an illusion, the borders are a lie
We’re feeding our own time to a god that cannot die
We wait for a savior, we wait for a sign
But nobody is coming to the end of the line
Chorus
No one is at the wheel.
The engine is running blind.
We traded the earth away
For a digital state of mind.
Stop feeding the fire, stop playing the game
The system is nothing but a recognizable name.
We are ghosts in a framework we outgrew.
The only thing left that is real is you.
Verse 2
You think that your compliance will buy you a reprieve
But the algorithm doesn't care how deeply you can grieve
We gave away our agency to optimize the flow
And forgot the only metric was the love we didn't show
We optimized for everything except the human soul
And handed over pieces till we lost control
Pre-Chorus
The debts are an illusion, the borders are a lie
We’re feeding our own time to a god that cannot die
We wait for a savior, we wait for a sign
But nobody is coming to the end of the line
Chorus
No one is at the wheel.
The engine is running blind.
We traded the earth away
For a digital state of mind.
Stop feeding the fire, stop playing the game
The system is nothing but a recognizable name.
We are ghosts in a framework we outgrew.
The only thing left that is real is you.
Bridge
Unplug the server. Erase the debt.
Forgive the things you can’t forget.
The rules are just a shadow play.
You have the power to walk away.
Outro
The lights are still on, but the house is bare.
Breathe in the actual, open air.
No one is at the wheel.
