Symphress - Power and Poison (OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO)

Power and Poison is the only single off of our second album, Pseudo. It has a powerful anti-tech and anti-AI message and the accompanying video is meant to enhance the quasi-dystopic theme of the lyrics.

Lyrics:

Man is embodied perfection outside
Feeding off of illusions to hide
Emotions torn into strips so easily
Feelings turned into dust

See that you're fighting unconscious addictions
You live with the idea of being in control
Snobbery reigns from its beautiful kingdom
The poison is in your blood

So, try to find the balance
Live peacefully in chaos

Here hides technology's glory
the pervasive sense of being
Life shown through a story
Flows in rolling rivers
Filling that void that appears
Sometimes
Embrace the mess, the real and the raw

You`ll never find the love, the pure one
By scrolling down the wall of someone
You`ll never find peace
Only facing the lies behind all the filters

Emotions, feelings, all sent through emojis
Knowledge laid hold of by a single search
Human cognition remains untouched
As long as technology wins

You tried to find the balance

Here hides technology's glory
the pervasive sense of being
Life shown through a story
Flows in rolling rivers
Filling that void that appears
Sometimes
Embrace the mess, the real and the raw

Here hides technology's glory…
