Lyrics

[Intro]
Dopamine
On dopamine
On dopamine
On dope
[Verse 1]
We have been overrun by our animal desire
Addicts of the immediate keep us obedient and unaware
Feeding this mutation, this Pavlovian despair
[PreChorus]
We've become
Disillusioned
So we run
Towards anything glimmering
[Chorus]
Time to put the silicon obsession down
Take a look around
Find a way in the silence
Lie supine away with your back to the ground
Dis- and re-connect to the resonance now
You were never an island
Unique voice among the many
In this choir
Tuning into each other
Lift all higher
[Refrain]
Dopamine
On dopamine
On dopamine
On dope
[Verse 2]
Willingly been re-wired by clever agents within
Looping our reflections, our obsessions draw us in
Fix and fixation, no sentience beyond
[PreChorus]
We've become
Disillusioned
So we dive like crows
Towards anything glittering
[Chorus]
Time to put the silicon obsession down
Take a look around
Find a way in the silence
Lie supine away with your back to the ground
Dis- and re-connect to the resonance now
You were never an island
Unique voice among the many
In this choir
Tuning into each other
Lift all higher
