lyrics

Artificial
Written by John von Ahlen and Louise Love

Verse 1
Deep inside machinery
I feel it grow inside of me
There's something missing I can tell
The creator hid it well

The sum of parts or so it seems
Is there a code to make us dream?
Is flesh and blood the only way?
We dream to live and we dream to stay

I'm out of place
So artificial
I need to be real
I'm incomplete
I'm artificial
So how does it feel?

To feel the beating of a heart
It may require a brand new start
I must replace machinery
Not violate the circuitry

The sum of parts or so it seems
Is there a code to make us dream?
Is flesh and blood the only way?
We dream to live and we dream to stay

I'm out of place
So artificial
I need to be real
I'm incomplete
I'm artificial
So how does it feel?

Cold hands, oh no!
This is machinery
Warm heart, oh yeah!
That is what I should be

I'm out of place
So artificial
I need to be real
I'm incomplete
I'm artificial
So how does it feel?

about

Parralox Melbourne, Australia

If ever there was a new electronic pop band to encapsulate and emulate the legendary stylings of Depeche Mode, The Human League, Erasure, New Order, Pet Shop Boys and the spirit of Madonna in her 80s day-glo era, then Australia’s Parralox are that modern-day reincarnation. ... more
