State Of The Art Lyrics

Cover art for State Of The Art lyrics by Gotye

As calculusdork has mentioned, we are missing a huge bit of irony here. The lyrics talk about how State of the Art has become music itself -- almost eclipsing the musician.

And then to showcase this, Gotye goes ahead to create a song that might have been entirely synthesized.

Closing line: Incidentally, on the track you just heard, there were no keyboard performances. Just the occasional pressing of buttons.
