about
Siren Call is an intriguing exploration of the contradictions inherent in our digital age. This compelling track illuminates the seductive allure and physical as well as psychological burdens that stem from our (post) modern way of living. The song is investigating the "Siren Call" of our 'always-on' society, smart devices, and AI, both as a temptation and a curse.
Matching the song's theme, the accompanying music video, predominantly created using AI tools, offers a surreal perspective on the celebration and downfall of a digitally enthusiastic, hyper-modernist society that believes in technology as a panacea. This paradoxical approach uses the medium itself as a commentary - serving both as a life source for the message and its critique.
lyrics
As I was walking through the clouds
I came upon a local crowd
And with my back against the wall
Was made to listen to the Siren Call
A hole gets punched, a line is drawn
I kill the lights to keep me on
An update - ready to install
a Trojan horse over a Siren call
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Get lost and blame the Siren call
Get lost and end the Siren Call
As I got on the edge to fall
I dialed into the Siren call
