Dark, brooding electronic track, reflecting on humanity's journey thus far.

Initial single from Solid-State Sunlight, Hope is a Drug is an introduction to a future where synthetic people have been inadvertently developed, and we witness, together, everything that means. Dig deeper at solidstatesunlight.com

lyrics

(Verse 1)
Just a few more years..

Young eyes track, exquisite precision
Mimicry, promoting the mission
Every brave leap forward, ten bitter steps back
Striving for position, right on track


(Chorus)
Hope is a Drug
A powerful thing
While we dream electric sheep
Nostalgia sweetly sings
Half-life gleamin'
Daylight dreamin'
Nothing changes
Death keeps creepin'


(Verse 2)
Just a few more years..

Factory floors hewn from sun-soaked fields
To raw ambition our hunger yields
In the hustle and grind of wind-swept streets
Hope is forged and destinies meet


(Chorus)
Hope is a Drug
A powerful machine
While we dream electric sheep
Nostalgia sweetly sings
Half-life gleamin'
Daylight dreamin'
Nothing changes
Death keeps creepin'


(Bridge)
In the darkest hours, when all seems lost,
We assemble the future, no matter the cost,
In this together, however tough
In this together, hope that hope's enough


(Verse 3)
Just a few more years..

Clouded eyes peer through cloudy skies, dim yet surely glowing
Long-trod pathways advertise, this is.. final warning
We reached the stars but lost our way, was it all for glory?
What hope we held it drove us on, this was our only story.


(Chorus)
Hope is a Drug
A wicked thing
While we dream electric sheep
Nostalgia sweetly sings
Half-life gleamin'
Daylight dreamin'
Nothing changes
Death keeps creepin'


(Outro)
We reached the stars but lost our way
We reached the stars but lost our way
