The Arcadian Wild
Dopamine
[Verse 1: Lincoln Mick, repeated under others]
Hit ‘em with a little bit of dopamine to keep em lookin’
Every second, they’ll be second guessing, trying to meet the
Expectation of the age of information, the simulation
Will be so convincing, they’ll forget that they’re alive
[Isaac Horn, repeated under Bailey]
What have I missed since I last checked my phone?
My god, that must have been ten minutes ago!
[Bailey Warren]
Ever seeing, but not perceiving
Ever hearing, but never understanding
[All] They're alive
[Pre-Chorus: Lincoln Mick]
I can feel it slipping away
My grip on reality’s down to a couplе fingers
Living like I’m running a race, though I’vе my doubts
Anyone’s gonna come out the winner
[Chorus: Lincoln, Isaac, & Bailey]
Wake up and break yourself outta here
Don’t be one of the cold souls who disappears
Stop believing and telling the lie
Why don’t you look your life in the eye?
[Verse 2: Lincoln Mick; Isaac & Bailey repeat Verse 1 under]
Show a video of a corgi wearing a knitted sweater
Then an advertisement for a pair of shoes that look much better
Than the fourteen they already have, besides they’re vegan leather
They’ll be so delighted they’ll forget that [All] they’re alive
[Pre-Chorus: Lincoln Mick]
Giving pieces of me away
My death comes by a thousand cuts, and I paid for the knife
Bleeding for a way to escape my ball and chain
The fatal clutches of father screen time
[Chorus: Lincoln, Isaac, & Bailey]
Wake up and break yourself outta here
Don’t be one of the cold souls who disappears
Stop believing and telling the lie
Why don’t you look your life in the eye?
[Chorus: Lincoln, Isaac, Bailey, & Erik Coveney]
Wake up and break yourself outta here (Wake uuup)
Don’t be one of the cold souls who disappears
Stop believing and telling the lie (Wake uuup)
Why don’t you look your life in the eye?
