Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Pushing all the buttons
Trying to come to something
Flying with his feet on the ground
Full of dreams and visions
In a world of indecision
He ain't around to be pushed around
Been a long time coming on - take a look at him now
And the days of if are gone - `cause he`s showing us how
Knowledge fuels the mind of the few
In a way that no - one`s found
Brave new answers screaming the truth
And the techno wins the crown
[Chorus:]
Micro-kid with mega-thoughts
He is real, he is here, he is fashionable
Micro-kid speaks digitalk
If you hear what he says it`s acceptable
Generating square waves
While computing new games
Finally gets the chips off his back
A smile is on his face
Erasing every trace
Of doubt that plagues the rest of the pack
And his brain stores memories - no alternatives could come in
He`s the living remedy - times are better than they were then
Knowledge fuels the mind of the few
In a way that no-one`s found
Brave new answers screaming the truth
And the techno wins the crown
[Chorus:]
Trying to come to something
Flying with his feet on the ground
Full of dreams and visions
In a world of indecision
He ain't around to be pushed around
Been a long time coming on - take a look at him now
And the days of if are gone - `cause he`s showing us how
Knowledge fuels the mind of the few
In a way that no - one`s found
Brave new answers screaming the truth
And the techno wins the crown
[Chorus:]
Micro-kid with mega-thoughts
He is real, he is here, he is fashionable
Micro-kid speaks digitalk
If you hear what he says it`s acceptable
Generating square waves
While computing new games
Finally gets the chips off his back
A smile is on his face
Erasing every trace
Of doubt that plagues the rest of the pack
And his brain stores memories - no alternatives could come in
He`s the living remedy - times are better than they were then
Knowledge fuels the mind of the few
In a way that no-one`s found
Brave new answers screaming the truth
And the techno wins the crown
[Chorus:]
