about |

The track “Modern Inventions” by the music group the Submarines. Inspired by human tech that’s escaped our imagination + control.

The lyrics talk about the slippery slope of powerful machines. The music slowly builds into an eerie intensity.

We struggle to cope with the closely intertwined risks + benefits of today’s digital world — and its mesmerizing automation.

From the album Declare a New State by popular indie folk group the Submarines.

music artist: the Submarines
album: Declare a New State
track: Modern Inventions

Darling I had the best intentions.
But I dug myself a hole.
With a modern invention.

Baby did I make you feel.
That you didn’t have the mind.
To reconcile the truth.
In a troubled time.

Skipping messages.
Good machines don’t lie.

From here we roll on.
From here we roll on.
From here we roll on.
From here we roll on.
