A Perfect Circle have given us a New Years treat by premiering their new song “Disillusioned.” The track was revealed yesterday (1st), and the single is now available to purchase, which you can find here. This particular tune has a different tempo than their previous single, The Doomed, but the meaning behind the track is rather intense. It looks like the group are continuing to share their thoughts on everyone’s social media/phone obsessions as they shared the lyrics via Instagram, telling us that it’s “Time to put the silicon obsession down.”
While we expect to see the new album to arrive sometime this year, the group will have a limited edition 10” available on March 9th that includes this tune as well as “The Doomed.” Pre-orders are available here.
In the meantime, check out “Disillusioned” below:
Lyrics:
We have been overrun by our animal desire
Addicts of the immediate keep us obedient and unaware
Feeding this mutation, this Pavlovian despair
We’ve become disillusioned
So we run towards anything glimmering
Time to put the silicon obsession down
Take a look around, find a way in the silence
Lie supine away with your back to the ground
Dis- and re-connect to the resonance now
You were never an island
Unique voice among the many in this choir
Tuning into each other, lift all higher
Willingly been re-wired by clever agents within
Looping our reflections, our obsessions draw us in
Fix and fixation, no sentience beyond
We’ve become disillusioned
So we dive like crows towards anything glittering
Time to put the silicon obsession down
Take a look around, find a way in the silence
Lie supine away with your back to the ground
Dis- and re-connect to the resonance now
You were never an island
Unique voice among the many in this choir
Tuning into each other, lift all higher
