The Loop

[ Our unearthed footage of a wandering cyborg captures its strange behaviour / expressive gyrations on a decommissioned airstrip near coordinates (37.0151891, -76.3022704). Embedded metadata includes a message decoded as  < OPPORTUNITY'S LAST TRANSMISSION > — yet to be deciphered... ] 

Audio transcription as follows:

< getting pretty cold out here

skin is looking dull

¿ do you think they notice ⅋ ignore ?

pointing out my index to you

hoping for a touch

¿ is it that my arms aren't long enough ?

robot hand

oo-ooh

robot hand

oo-ooh >

ROBOT_HAND

i don't wanna race to the bottom
i wanna save what we started

can we let it float?

i erased your number
but committed it to heart
just in case i felt it
and got the nerve enough to call, aw

you said my remedy was stark
but i was shooting in the dark
if i expose my weakness will this tension fall apart?

i don't wanna race to the bottom
i wanna save what we started

can we let it float?

race 2 the bottom

slow to open
don’t take it hard
the curse was broken
but it’s still wearing off

(what if i don’t have time?)

there are things i didn’t think we’d be reliving
glad you kept it all in tact
gonna feel my way back
gonna feel my way back

outru

in my exurb home all alone when the phone rings 
it’s an unknown voice and i’m told that it’s safe to leave 

will it take a miracle? 
can i wait that long? 
i wake up reliving this episode 
the season dragging me on and on 

got to stay calm in alarming times 
don’t drop the bomb it’s a losing fight 
can’t cut me off without blood on the knife 

profiteers prophesy promising solutions 
when it all dissolves we’re sipping on confusion 

these endless nights are hardly quiet 
my mind turning on itself 
i put my faith in the machines 
they don’t believe i’m worth the help 
(am i worth the help?) 

will it take a miracle? 
can i wait that long? 
i wake up reliving this episode 
the season dragging me on and on 

got to stay calm in alarming times 
don’t drop the bomb it’s a losing fight 
can’t cut me off without blood on the knife 

no touch no trust 
no blood no love 
no fire no smoke 
no dirt no dust 
no growth no cuts 
no downs no ups 
no water no rust 
no boom no bust
