Lyrics Medusae - Sirens

Medusae

Submerged, static figure
Sleep / motionless
Infinite sleep
rupturing tank,
trembling shards
my scorching eyes
waking up
neural overload
how many centuries have past?
eons and eons you’ve slept in that tank
locked away inside this memory bank
frozen in stasis, suspended in time
Centuries of advancement for humankind
I cannot except these words falsified
I demand proof what can you provide?
The answer surrounds us both it replied
From today’s date to the buildings outside
Bewildered sleeper, gazing over a brand new earth.
Artificial stars, civilizations overhead
Cities dot the skies, shimmering lights beaming with life
Structures overgrown, empty homes forgotten cultures
eons and eons
frozen in stasis
locked away inside this memory bank
yesterday is now far behind
yesterday is now lost in time
towering spires, beacons of tech
scaling advance
vertically traveling upwards, bursting
arrival on foot driven by questions
crafted by my type
ascending molecularly
bustling port
foreign faces
minimalist
architecture
neural overload
how many centuries have past?
«eons and eons I’ve slept in a tank
locked away inside my memory bank
frozen in stasis, suspended in time
I hoped to wake up to a future sublime»
The future surrounds us all, they replied
The limitless bounds progressively wide
Magnitudes of journeying deep outside
Exploring what the universe can provide
Lucid wanderers, gazing over a brand new earth.
Artificial stars, civilizations neighboring
Cities dot the skies, shimmering lights beaming with life
Structures magnified, alien influenced design
But still even though I cheated time
awoke to find I still have my life
Decades separating me and my hyper sleeping family
And even though I could rebound
My life is now
My life is now and not rooted back on the ground
