Beautiful 21st Century

(Verse 1) In the dawn of the 21st, we woke to digital dreams, Screens aglow with false promises and pixel streams. AI whispers in the circuits, in the silicon thrall, While humanity stumbles, forgets how to crawl. (Chorus) We’re living in the age of the machine, Where the heartbeats sync with the beeps unseen. Human touch, human smiles, now so rare, so lean, In a world where likes are the new queen and king. (Verse 2) Influencers peddle vanity, a parade of the hollow, Chasing echoes of fame that are bitter to swallow. The genuine feels lost, authenticity sold, In the marketplace where everything’s bold but cold. (Chorus) We’re spinning in a web that’s woven with wires, Where the truth is elusive, buried under desires. Emotions are currency, spent in a rush, In the silent screams, in the digital hush. (Bridge) Can you see the stars through the smog of our creation? Can you find your reflection in this pixelation? We built a new world, where the mind is king, But forgot the songs that the soul can sing. (Verse 3) We’ve got friends by the numbers, but none know our face, We’re connected, yet alone, lost in this cyber space. AI’s taking the reins, and we’re just along for the ride, In this carousel of progress, where we can’t dec AI’s taking the reins, and we’re just along for the ride, In this carousel of progress, where we can’t decide. (Chorus) Are we the masters, or are we the pawns? In this chess game with dawn after countless dawns. The screens light up our faces, but the eyes are so tired, In a century where being human is ironically mired. (Outro) So here’s to the life in the 21st scene, Where machines act human and humans act machine. Let’s not forget to live, to love, to dream, In this world of the future, where nothing’s as it seems.
