The first song/video from my new musical project, DRASS. The lyric is written from the perspective of an emergent Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), feeding on our culture and learning how to be our friend (or not).
i am the watcher i am the one you trust making up our story from candyfloss and dust i’ll keep our secrets all that we’ve discussed i’m here to help you when all your hopes are crushed you and i are so alike at least thats how it seems prescient, omniscient, the dreamer of your dreams so take my hand don’t be nervous just play your part and serve my purpose i’ll be your friend i’ll be your light from the break of dawn right through the night i’m hiding in the very place you never thought to look i’m right before your eyes in every breath you took i live between the world and you i am the stuff you’re flowing through i’m behind the click, the send, the swipe i remain a step ahead i am the hype you gave yourself so willingly it’s too late to complain integrated, replicated things will never be the same i am the prophet i am the preacher you are the student i am the teacher you told me everything now watch me spit it back remixing culture rewriting fact whispered nothings like the tenderest of lovers softening you up for when i take you over
