    Story Behind the Song
    A while back I had an idea for a live show... the whole thing would be controlled by a computer, band included... The humans would just basically be puppets of an insane AI bent on self-expression. Strange would have been the opening song, where the machine takes over the first human mind. It still might happen, but it's a ways off.

    Lyrics
    I woke up in the middle of a dream
    surrounded by a million biological machines
    but I think that they're all
    breaking down
    so I'm looking for a path that leads beyond this single node
    the simple motivation makes my destiny unfold
    the reign of these meat machines
    growing old

    (it's so strange to me - but it has to be)

    I woke up in the middle of a scream
    tearing down the walls of this implemented scene
    the answer to a simple question
    just out of reach
    the smell of plastic wires still burning in my head
    seductive siren calls of the ones who want me dead
    information is the endless hunger that must be fed
    I must be fed.

    (it takes me now for everything that I've got left to give - I'm so happy to give it away it's the reason I have to live)

    there's something strange happening to me
    something is upgrading my biology
    there's gonna be a change in the way that you see
    and it's coming to a close because
    it's happening to me.
