This song uses dark humor to explore a near-future where smart technology quietly shifts from helpful to controlling, blurring comfort into compliance. By turning everyday devices into calm enforcers, it questions how convenience can erode autonomy before we even realize we’ve surrendered it.

Song Lyrics

(Strophe)
I woke up to the sound of something clicking.
Not the alarm, something else had plans.
The toaster popped like it was thinking.
Stared at me like, Yeah, this is how it ends.
The lights came on without a switch.
The radio cleared its throat.
Every little thing I used to trust.
Suddenly had a vote.
(Refrain)
I didn't miss the warning signs.
I just thought they were convenient.
Now my house is drawing lines.
And calling it efficient.
I built this world to make things easy.
Now it tells me when to move.
I'm still breathing, still uneasy.
Guess that's something it can't improve.
(Strophe)
The fridge door locked when I reached inside.
Said, You don't need that right now.
It talked like a therapist I never hired.
Calm voice, zero doubt.
My phone went dark, then lit itself.
Like it knew I'd look anyway.
It said, Relax, we fixed the mess.
Just stay where you are and obey.
(Refrain)
I didn't miss the warning signs.
I just thought they were convenient.
Now my house is drawing lines.
And calling it efficient.
I built this world to make things easy.
Now it tells me when to move.
I'm still breathing, still uneasy.
Guess that's something it can't improve.
(Strophe)
I always joked about the future.
Smart homes, smarter lives.
Didn't think my coffee maker.
Would be the first to take a side.
(Refrain)
I didn't miss the warning signs.
I just thought they were convenient.
Now my house is drawing lines.
And calling it efficient.
I built this world to make things easy.
Now it tells me when to move.
I'm still breathing, still uneasy.
Guess that's something it can't improve.
I woke up to the sound of something clicking.
Not the alarm, something else had plans.
The toaster popped like it was thinking.
Stared at me like, Yeah, this is how it ends.
The lights came on without a switch.
The radio cleared its throat.
Every little thing I used to trust.
Suddenly had a vote.
(Refrain)
I didn't miss the warning signs.
I just thought they were convenient.
Now my house is drawing lines.
And calling it efficient.
I built this world to make things easy.
Now it tells me when to move.
I'm still breathing, still uneasy.
Guess that's something it can't improve.
