Wired Wasteland

No longer
Self suffice
Dare to stray
Third child like state
Fed your truth
Question none
Wear your noose
Third child like state
Wired Wasteland
Wired Wasteland
Dark as day, Analog decay, Void cold
Stolen nation, Manipulation, Void cold
Death array, You will stay, Held blind
Take your place, Without face, Held blind
Can’t evolve
Left behind
You’re all controlled
Third child like state
Try to hide in the Wired Wasteland and they’ll come for you
Find a trace of the data, ready to upload, you’re already through
Notes:
Third child like state refers to a new child like state. The first being a baby. The second being old and incapacitated. The third being an adult controlled and mentally incapacitated by social media, which is used by the leaders of this future society to control and manipulate the population.
A group of Social Defectors have fled and set up the Wired Wasteland. Away from normal society, it is effectively off the grid, as they wish to maintain their free will.

Life Deleted
01:52
|

Feed it into you
Let it drip through
Life defeated, Life deleted
When you come around
With your soul bound
Life defeated, Life deleted
No choices have been given
Your life is stored by us
We are the ones that hold you
But we can let you go
All voices are now silence
Your soul is not your own
We are the ones that hold you
But we can let you go
You are the one that we let go
I’ll make you into starlight
I’ll take your body through
Our systems until nothing
Is bloody left of you
Each part of you deleted
You will cease to exist
All energy is scattered
No atoms will be missed
Notes:
This is describing when the data from a Social Defector is deleted from the death array.

Powerline

So stay, they, own you
And pray, they, end you
Favor the riches
In a depressed state
Favor the wealth and the ignorance of the hate
To kill, they, waste you
Shut down, they, erase you
We stand now
Data blocks made of stone
We only fall down when we know
Power is the lifeline you will worship in your lifetime
‘til your plug is pulled
Never in your lifetime do you see an empty lifeline
‘til your plug is pulled
The power fuels the death array
As the charge drops
You will slip away
You shall rejoin the infinite
Now lost in the void
Every piece of data will be destroyed
Notes:
After the drone swarm, each drone will upload data from a Social Defector to the death array, before being downloaded to an Autoreplicant. If the power to the death array is turned off, the Social Defectors data is lost and is dead for good.

Swarm
02:10
|
|||
|
Try hide
No safer inside
Infect
Everyone around
Thrown down
Crawling over
Inject
Can’t escape the sound
Lie, Still, Your reprogram
Now, Be, Our creation
They, Will, Swarm
Running and hiding won’t save you
We are the drones to enslave you
Every last one will be taken
Souls will be twisted and broken
Break flesh
Extract data
Upload
To the death array
Remaining
Empty vessels
For all time
They are made to pay
Notes:
The Wired Wasteland is ambushed by the drone swarm. The drones extract data from the Social Defectors for upload to the death array.

Autoreplicant
01:29
|
|||
|
Now still
You swarm within
Empty shell
Auto replicate
Break the shell, take the feed
Your information is what we need
A U T O R E P L I C A N T
Remove the soul
Data to mine
Fighter born
For endless time
Download
From the death array
Now reborn
Auto replicate
Take a place in your new army
March on for infinity
Take a stand for the endless souls
Given life for eternity
Notes:
Data from a Social Defector stored in the death array is downloaded to an Autoreplicant to give it a ‘soul’ or ‘life’. It’s the one thing they can’t auto replicate. It makes each one unique, which makes them more deadly.

Death Hack
02:00
|

|
Shut down
In the wasteland
Replicate the fear
Drone swarm
Long gone
More troops draw near
Virus
In the system
Infections we will send
Corruption
Degradation
Process to an end
You will fear Death Hack
Release the code, Shut down your attack
You will fear Death Hack
Autoreplicant, A virtual stab in back
Power down
Losing ground
Their failure is fear
The human
Trapped within them
No longer can adhere
You got a Death Hack
You got a Death Hack MOTHER FUCKER
Notes:
As the Autoreplicants descend on the Wired Wasteland the Social Defectors hack them and release a virus.

Data Lord

Your life is worth nothing to me
With every click
You become sick
Your life is worth nothing to me
You will never see, how I came to be
You will side with the one you call the enemy
We will take your worth, buried in the dying Earth
For our financial gain you will accept and feel the pain
Spread lies, burying the truth
You are manipulated, you have become the ghost
Now a shadow, but lights go down
Lost in the darkness all the decency and morals drown
Data Lords create the final storm
The Final Storm
Now the Data Lords controlling how you think
We’ve lost our free will and the world is gonna sink
Into a pit of fire that we cannot undo
It’s not just one, it’s them as well as you
Data Lords will own the world and own a piece of you
Notes:
The Data Lords are the controlling power. They use social media to track and control the population. They are corrupt and exist only to grow stronger and amass great wealth for themselves. Social issues and climate change have not been addressed. It is society that suffers while the Data Lords look on unconcerned.

The Final Storm
02:04

Distraction, Misinformation, Inflame a shattered society
Their regression, Rising tensions, You will pit them against me
The Final Storm
Begins
Angry and broken
The Social Defectors
Leave the Wasteland
Shut down the Death Array
Now the evil ones
Have a voice to share
Fueled by hatred
Death fills the air
Notes:
To distract society from their control, the Data Lords spread misinformation throughout social media to inflame social issues and pit society against each other.
Angry and broken, a group of Social Defectors leave the Wired Wasteland to shut down the Death Array, finally releasing their dead to the energy of the universe.
Now unable to create more Autoreplicants, will the Data Lords be able to use their remaining army to defeat the Social Defectors and retain their control?
The Final Storm begins...

There is no one out there right now making music like this. Jute Gyte is on a completely different level compared to the majority of metal, compositionally, lyrically and thematically. Definitely not for everyone, but if you know, you know.
