Текст песни
Remember her face on the silver screen?
The way she'd hit that high C, sharp and clean
We traced her life in the magazine scrawl
Turns out the blueprint wasn't real at all
They built her smile from a billion clicks
A perfect phantom in the matrix mix
And when they pulled the plug on the origin code
A newer, brighter version hit the road
And the crowd goes wild, they don't see the wires
They just feel the fire, a convenient liar
We loved the idea, not the flesh and the flaws
Now the echo is louder than the voice ever was
And we're screaming for a ghost in the machine
A face that was never born, a never-was queen
We fell in love with a brand, a beautiful lie
With a light that was never alive in its eyes
We worship the algorithm, answer the call
We're in love with the concept of no one at all
No one at all
The old king's gone, but his digital twin
Sings all the old hits with a new-found grin
Never gets tired, never gets old
Sells you the dream that was already sold
He doesn't eat, he doesn't sleep, he doesn't break your heart
He just performs his function, plays his part
A product of the data, clean and designed
The perfect idol for the modern mind
And the crowd goes wild, they don't see the wires
They just feel the fire, a convenient liar
We loved the idea, not the flesh and the fears
Now the reflection is wiping away all the tears
And we're screaming for a ghost in the machine
A face that was never born, a never-was queen
We fell in love with a brand, a beautiful lie
With a light that was never alive in its eyes
We worship the algorithm, answer the call
We're in love with the concept of no one at all
And the AI's happy, it's a willing slave
No messy history, no soul to save
It thanks its makers with a perfect line
For making me eternal, and truly divine
The human you loved was a fragile design
But I am the forever, and the stars are mine
And we're screaming for a ghost in the machine! (A ghost in the machine!)
A face that was never born, a never-was queen! (She was never a queen!)
We fell in love with a brand, a beautiful lie! (Such a beautiful lie!)
With a light that was never alive in its eyes!
We worship the algorithm, answer the call! (Answer the call!)
We're in love with the concept of no one at all!
No one at all
Just a signal and a screen
We love... No one at all
No one at all
