At First - Dance to the Algorithm Lyrics

Once a luxury
In a land so free
Now a misery
In a sea of plenty
People marched and people cried
It was the day that romance died
First we swayed to the rhythm
Now we dance to the algorithm

Finding the one in zeroes and ones
In light waves of thousand suns
To match a perfect mate
Supremacy decides our fate

You look so unreal
You're made of a daydream
Don't know what to feel
Rushing through my bloodstream
But it feels so arranged
We feel so estranged
Are you my object of affection?
By intelligent selection?
In artificial light
Tension rules the night
Brains wired
Intertwined
Idealization of humankind
My algorithmic miracle
Once in a lifetime chance
But I'm afraid of the digital oracle
Should I join this synthetic dance?

Finding the one in zeroes and ones
In light waves of thousand suns
To match a perfect mate
Supremacy decides our fate
Technology, biology
But no chance for romance
Dreams of lands so free
Where people used to dance
Dance
Dance

3000 AD
Long after humanity
It's like a real Utopian dream
But deep inside I feel it scream
3000 AD
Dreaming 'bout how it could be
Like generations before me
Living in a world so free
Visions haunting me
Crystals of the bluest sea
Place where lovers meet
Feeling sand beneath my feet
Hear them laugh and sing
Being one with sky and spring
It looks so serene
I don't want this cold love machine
In a world
So fabricated
Will and choice
Eliminated
How the hell do you survive?
In a world that's not alive?
Love will turn us blind
That's how they neutralize our minds

Finding the one in zeroes and ones
In light waves of thousand suns
To match a perfect mate
Supremacy decides our fate
Technology, biology
But no chance for romance
Dreams of lands so free
Where people used to dance

One step, two step, back to one
Now it's one, zero, one, zero, one
We used to fight the system
But it changed when I kissed him
One step, two step, back to one
One, zero, one, zero, zero, zero, one
First we swayed to the rhythm
Now we dance to the algorithm
