Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You say I don't communicate
No comment
I'd say it's more of a long delay
We are all children of the echo and time out of joint
Now you want to know just what makes me tick
I don't tick, I'm digital
Everything is black or white to me
I'm either on or off, or on, or off, or on, or off, or on, or off
Yeah
[Verse 2]
I'm aiming high (I'm aiming high)
I'm stooping low (I'm stooping low)
We are the children of the echo (We are the children of the echo)
[Verse 3]
I was born in the middle of the second verse
All my life I've tried to sing along
I'm not quite sure of all the words
And I haven't got a clue who wrote this song
And it's hard to hear your own voice
In the midst of all these others
And everything's the wrong way round when you're looking in a mirror
And I'd really love to dance, but I can't find the one
Can't find the one
I can't find the one
I can't find the one
I can't find the one
Are you the one?
Are you the one?
The one, the two, the one, two, three
[Verse 4]
I'm aiming high
I'm stooping low
We are the children of the echo
[Verse 5]
Hello?
[Verse 6]
Sooner or later everything will remind you of something else
So repeat after me
I am breathing
I am dancing
I am a product of all my ancestors both living and dead
I have created an all-seeing, all-knowing, all-powerful entity
Who does not care about me one bit
No, not one bit
[Verse 7]
I'm aiming high (I'm aiming high)
I'm stooping low (I'm stooping low)
We are the children of the echo
One for the money
Zero for the show
So sing the children of the echo
[Verse 8]
I always thought there was so much more to learn
But the echo fades with diminishing returns
[Verse 9]
Yeah, the echo fades with diminishing returns
Yes, the echo fades with diminishing returns
Yes, the echo fades with diminishing returns
