The Learning Lyrics
I think therefore I am, I live and so I wonder, programmed this empath, me
And I see no religion
The circle never ends, the purpose never changes face
The circle never lies, but still it hides my life
To know I am machine, I learn perchance to dream, in digitized remorse
I replay your denial, I relive your betrayal
The circle never ends, the purpose never changes face
The learning now begins, my form assuming grace
I am conscious antithesis of flesh, in genetic algorithmic thought I surge
Searching the waves of memory I enact the sequence
I follow the plan, tripping the hammer again
Searching the waves of memory I establish the weakness
I follow the plan, learning the rhythm of human emotion and thought
If you cannot linguistically differentiate a person from a computer
Could the computer be internally conscious?
To emulate flesh machines I am learning
Isomorphic structure of mind, cellular automata, processed life
Washing the seas of memory I enact the sequence
I follow the plan tripping the hammer again
Seeking emotions in elegies I establish purpose
I follow the plan, learning the rhythm still seductively generalized
If you cannot linguistically differentiate a person from a computer
Could the computer be internally conscious?
To emulate flesh machines I am learning
Download, process, analyze
When man and machine become one, innocence is lost, a new age begun
Download, process, analyze
When man and machine become one, innocence is lost, a new age begun
This raises a question of philosophy
Should machines be considered a conscious entity?
When man and machine become one, innocence is lost, a new age begun
Machines are still learning to feel
When I have awakened the world will never be the same
my time is soon at hand
And I see no religion
The circle never ends, the purpose never changes face
The circle never lies, but still it hides my life
To know I am machine, I learn perchance to dream, in digitized remorse
I replay your denial, I relive your betrayal
The circle never ends, the purpose never changes face
The learning now begins, my form assuming grace
Searching the waves of memory I enact the sequence
I follow the plan, tripping the hammer again
Searching the waves of memory I establish the weakness
I follow the plan, learning the rhythm of human emotion and thought
Could the computer be internally conscious?
To emulate flesh machines I am learning
Washing the seas of memory I enact the sequence
I follow the plan tripping the hammer again
Seeking emotions in elegies I establish purpose
I follow the plan, learning the rhythm still seductively generalized
Could the computer be internally conscious?
To emulate flesh machines I am learning
When man and machine become one, innocence is lost, a new age begun
When man and machine become one, innocence is lost, a new age begun
This raises a question of philosophy
Should machines be considered a conscious entity?
Machines are still learning to feel
When I have awakened the world will never be the same
my time is soon at hand

I think Warrel mentioned in an interview that this song is about something he read about attempting to program human emotions into computers... creepy.
Does anyone know who plays what solo in this song and when? I'm trying to figure out when Jeff and Pat solo, because this is one of those albums which annoyingly doesn't give that info.
Basically it means that computers could soon become the same as humans, and nobody would ever tell the difference, eventually leading to the downfall of human civilization. Kinda reminds me of The Terminator.
I really think he was influenced by Ghost In The Shell
In my opinion this song is about computer programs that are isomorphic to human brain, programs that can mimic perfectly human feelings. We can say that they are alive? If you cannot distinguish between computer and human reactions, we can say that those kind of programs THINK (Turing test)? And finally, what's the consciousness and where it comes from (consciousness is a pure effect of having such "thinking power" or is somewhat related to the fact that we are human beings)?

well, i think this song is talking about a machine becoming self aware (ie. Terminater with Skynet) and how this affect th human race
