Impulse is the eighth song from Northlane’s third full-length album Node, and the third single from the album. Three days after the official album release, Rise Records uploaded the music video to their YouTube channel.
The song lyrically talks about the relationship between people and the digital...
So alone in our digital world
So alone in our digital world
So alone in our digital world
So alone in our digital world
The walls are closing in
Shrinking down to the box in the palm of my hand
The shock has settled in
Fibers and wires
Feed me the link that we desire
Every circuit getting smarter
Every signal getting stronger
But our ties are getting weaker
And I see us sinking deeper
I see it sinking deeper
I see it sinking deeper
Flawed relations of ones and zeroes
Connecting us to our digital heroes
An anti-social network
Where everyone’s a fucking expert
I see it sinking deeper
I see it sinking deeper
Hollow as a hologram
Electricity without the spark
Hearts left to flicker and fade
Out in the dark
So alone in our digital world
So alone in our digital world
So alone in our digital world
So alone in our digital world
Impulses flowing through my veins
Impulses flowing through copper
Flowing in waves
It feels so close, yet so far away
Every circuit getting smarter
Every signal getting stronger
But our ties are getting weaker
And I see us sinking deeper
I see it sinking deeper
(The walls are closing in
The walls are closing in)
