about

How do we know what’s real anymore? AI, chatbots, deepfakes, and gaslighting – it's disorienting. That's on purpose, of course.

I wrote LIFELIKE as a sequel of sorts to "Silicon in My Soul" (released a few months ago), and I wanted it to have an old movie feel to it. Sort of like an historical record: What happened after the blast, where the "witness marks" offered proof that we humans are still here.

lyrics

In the shadow of a blast, we see
An outline of the past, revealed

It's so lifelike, when it comes into focus
When life looks at you and you don’t even notice

As the edges sharpen into view
I know that you perceive it too

It's so lifelike, it almost fooled me
When life looks at you like it's some kind of movie

We might share a knowing glance
Or we might never get the chance
That sounds a lot more lifelike

I might reveal a secret kept
Something that you don’t expect from me

It's so lifelike, you get my confusion
When life looks at you like you're the illusion

It's so lifelike, you get my confusion
When life looks at you like you're the illusion

We might share a knowing glance
Or we might never get the chance
That sounds a lot more lifelike
