| Metric – Artificial Nocturne Lyrics | 9 years ago |

Holding true to the name "Synthetica" this is the introduction to the horrifying truth of the machine. Being within the machine is humanity's penance for the horrors we wrought, we can barely survive the lie of a normal life. She found a means to move through the system and always remembers that there is no sun. The system is fair however, and she's able to find solace within the prison of her mind, her dreams extending into "reality" she's beginning to learn how to be free...and we enter the over arching story of "Synthetica". |

| Metric – Breathing Underwater Lyrics | 9 years ago |

As with the general theme of the whole Synthetica album, this is a emotional representation of realization and acceptance of being a part of the "matrix". The opening comparisons between the two is the distinctions between machine, nature, tools, and weapons. Breathing underwater has to do with the containment pods which are filled with hydrostatic fluid. Out of place all the time, being the recognition of one's existence within the machine, and within one's own mind. Too meet our heroes is to accept the false reality, and to slowly erode away the truth and accept the new life of lies. Then we enter the mirrored maze, the machines watching back, hidden behind mirrors, recognizing the truth of consciousness. And just like Neo, we can see the end of our program...as it loops forever. |
