The track “Obsolete Beings” is all about the takeover of phones and social media, and its impact on society.

[Verse 1]
Scrolling down in paradise
Absorbed by the next device
You live alone, we live alone
Castaway and insecure
A wonder world that isn't yours
The dream is gone, your time is done
[Chorus]
Become useless, recycle yourself
Or be replaced by something else
You must improve, but you can't follow
So, there you are
Straight in the bin, you'll go!
So, there you are
Down the crusher, you'll blow!
So, there you are... No more!
[Verse 2]
Over-obsessed with comments feed
Distracted by some silly scenes
You are someone, like everyone
Hypnotised and plastified
You might forget to live your life
Wasting your days, expiring date
[Chorus]
Out of function, no longer used
And your model discontinued
Signs of the time are starting to show
So, there you are
Stacked on the shelf, you'll go!
There you are
Smashed to pieces, you'll blow!
There you are... No more!
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Being a brand all of your life
You're being used to advertise
A follower goes with the flow
So, there you are
No one will ever know!
So, there you are
No one will ever know!
There you are... No more!
[Bridge]
A new era has arrived
Is there some use for mankind?
The time is still ruled by the sky
