lyrics

[God of Berlin]

The world is digital
You are digital
All of the data is on the internet
You can't escape
Your house is on Google Maps.
Your name is in Mark Zuckerberg's hands.
Jeff Bezos owns your soul.
It's all for nothing.
It's all for nothing.
Liking Memes on 9GAG.
Doin Donuts in your parking garage.
You are rich, but are you happy?
You are rich, but are you really happy?
Digitalization
Virtualization
Globalization.
We live in a cyberpunk world.
Do you wanna accept that?
Do you?
The God of Berlin
The God of Russia
The God of Slovenia.
Who are they and what are they doing?
Who are they (fuck...) and what you have done?
Streaming things on Spotify.
Artists are dying.
Where is the money?
Where the fuck is the money?
Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp.
All owned by the same company.
Where is the equality?
Sex workers getting deleted off social media platforms.
Nazis and alt right stay.
Where is the equality?
Women get sexual comments for innocent posts.
Men get a free pass.
Where is the equality?
Everyone dies in Berlin around me.
Everyone dies in Berlin.
Everyone dies.

[English / Kimberly]

I want to die in Berlin.
I want to be buried in Berlin.
I want each and every knife piercing through my skull.
Each and every shard of an LCD.
I want to kill you.
I want to kill what you see of.
I'm nothing in this whirlwind.
Centrifuge.
A black hole.
Everything is in the palm of my hand.
I see you.
I want to be you.
I adore your image.
You're so perfect.
Your profile picture is so perfect.
Each and every skin flake.
You're so close.
Yet so far away.
Celebrity, influencer.
Faceless bastard.
Dead in Berlin.
Everything dies in the capital of the art world.
Everything lives in the capital of the art world.
Everything gets stolen.
Artificial plants, barely watered.
Not requiring water anymore.
Dead in Berlin.
God: Dead in Berlin.
Sim card.
Neural network.
I see it all.
I know it all.
I can look it up all.
Type it in. Google is my friend.
The knowledge is in the palm of my hand.
Obsolete.
Dead in Berlin.

[Joanna, Female]

I am an overlay.
I am hyperreal.
I am only superimposed.
I am a void.
