Simulation Game

from The Pause by Pursesnatchers

about

I wrote and recorded this in one feverish morning, October 28, 2019. I never thought of releasing it. Too wack-job. But as this record came together, I heard the song in a new light. It was meant as a joke, but now I find it comforting.

lyrics

There is nothing to fear
We’re in a simulation

There is no light
Just obfuscation
There is no sea
It’s an imitation
There is no God
And no salvation

Let it be
A small consolation
It’s not a curse
Just an observation
Death is just
Another occasion

Tears in your eyes
Are miscalculations
Birds in the trees
Are annotations
Sunset is
Minor computation

No borders at all
No other nations
You’re a bit of code
Under mutation
Don’t get
Lost in concentration

We all were there
At the creation
The universe is
Just one translation
I’m calling from
A variation

There is nothing to fear
We’re in a simulation

Nothing to fear
We’re in a simulation
