Distant Message

from Revolution of the Heart by Fr Mark

/

about

Distant Message is the failed attempt to use technology to bring people together. Our deep need for real communion is exposed, and we are left bereft by our constant self-disatisfaction until we can let social networking consume us. But the promises fail us, and we are left to return in sorrow to receive what never can be attained.

lyrics

You have a new message will you accept
They are all long distance with little effect
You have no more messages will you exit
Sign out close instants before viral infection
 
Avatar self construct personality syndrome
Masked unessential substance online page home
Mass consumption of conformable individual ringtone
Unemotional detached text on a cellphone
Live journal long deceased for lack of meaning
Pre-rendered airbrush personality not succeeding
Autobiographical photo-shop portrait bleeding
Through mass market lies sadly competing
True love waits behind the banner that is deleting
Eternal spiritual profiles a web worm is leaking
Multiple editing and self-censor capabilities
Links of welcome associate friend mimicry
HTML Costumes welcome my space odyssey
The existential outpouring for rage oddity
For a limited time only download sodomy
For your integrity to be banished in a mockery
Flash play new messages and comments
Set to filter out the traditionally humanly honest
Sending pixelating L-U-V for eye sockets
Wanna be on my top eight digitized dockets?

You have a new message will you accept
They are all long distance with little effect
You have no more messages will you exit
Sign out close instants before viral infection

Please drink of my underscore of bar space
With black logic codified to communicate replace
An arrangement of strangers makes us estrangement
Insomnia is the motto of automatic updates
Please link to my diorama of cyberspace
With binary ink magic make drama by booking face
A nation of aliens makes us alienation
Inner unrest on the sixth day of uncreation
 
Reply forward delete compose categorize save
Passing linking this chain idolize rave
It must continue all powerful coded mail
With ultra control and manipulation of fate
Scroll down for the surprise its waiting
After the reside of forwarded names are hanging
See my suspense when the network is lagging
Make a wish now as personal achievement dangling
If you are a true friend you will read the letter
For a waste of time it will make your life better
For our online relationship intimacy to measure
If I get this back by tomorrow prerendered
All your fantasies will be actualized
If you put blind faith in this magical binary prize
But if you fail to sell your soul so mesmerized
The email will avenge itself before midnight
 
You have a new message will you accept
They are all long distance with little effect
You have no more messages will you exit
Sign out close instants before viral infection
 
Don’t you have anything that hasn’t SPAM in it
I asked the server in old fashioned haggling
But the system has no motive to program it
Trying to bypass the clerk to the web manager
Those rules don’t apply so enter your credit card number
For all the latest specials on four star holidays this summer
This is just for you a limited time offer in haste
But please give us all of your fam and friends contact information
This profile is just a resume for peer acceptance
That we invent for our personal unfulfillment
Where we expose our dreams for attention
And hide truth behind a mirror image of camera reflection
My favorites I possess knowledge on all the latest trends
Load videos and glitter graphics to make amends
With our long standing rejection of the communion of heaven
And the courage to be rooted in God’s infinite affection

Please drink of my underscore of bar space
With black logic codified to communicate replace
An arrangement of strangers makes us estrangement
Insomnia is the motto of automatic updates
Please link to my diorama of cyberspace
With binary ink magic make drama by booking face
A nation of aliens makes us alienation
Inner unrest on the sixth day of uncreation
