8 Bits - Mind.In.A.Box

Every day I look the same

And the sun is always shining

I look out, and there is 3D

I keep looking down and miss my shadow

Every day my hair is fine

But one dot keeps changing colors

I know my heritage is noble

But still I feel like I’m a clone

8 bits are enough for me

This is not where I should be

My life is more than information

I want a life beyond emulation

I look out and everything’s too fast for me

And I feel there must be more

Every day I dream of where I’ve come from

Now I know I’m just an emulation

The next time I see the serial cable

I jump on the train and leave this world

Now I’m an original, I’m like my ancestors

And my hair is finally all yellow

8 bits are enough for me

This is not where I should be

My life is more than information

I want a life beyond emulation
