about

The Void critizes our obsession with social media and what it does to our behavior regarding communication. The title might be the nerdiest you can find on this album, since it is derived from software development. In some programming languages, a program gets the type prefix "void" in case it is not returning any value.

lyrics

THE VOID

I HAD MY LAST REAL-LIFE CONVERSATION
BACK IN MY INFANCY
AND YOU MIGHT CALL THIS EXAGGERATION
BUT THAT‘S HOW IT FEELS
WE PRAISE IT MODERN COMMUNICATION
FACE WHAT IT REALLY IS
A PROCESS OF ISOLATION
IN ITS INFANCY

AND THIS CHILD WILL GROW
UNTIL IT SPITS ON OUR HEADS
WE WILL DROWN
MAYBE NOT IN SPITTLE
BUT SURE IN REGRETS
‘CAUSE OF EVERYTIME WHEN WE MISSED
NOT TO LOG INTO THE VOID
INTO THE VOID

THERE GROWS AN ALREADY LOST GENERATION
FEEDING ITSELF WITH POSTS AND TWEETS
GROWING FAT FROM DUMB-ASS QUOTATIONS
HUNGER FOR MORE THEY BREED
AND THIS FUCKED UP BLIND ELATION
THEY IMBIBE FROM THEIR INFANCY
I KNOW I‘M PART OF THIS WHOHLE CONSTELLATION
BUT I REFUSE TO BREED

‘CAUSE THIS CHILD WILL GROW
UNTIL IT SPITS ON OUR HEADS
WE WILL DROWN
MAYBE NOT IN SPITTLE
BUT SURE IN REGRETS
‘CAUSE OF EVERYTIME WHEN WE MISSED
NOT TO LOG INTO THE VOID
INTO THE VOID
