What have they wrought/From screen to self?/Electronic malfunction/They know our movements/They own our failures
from Boyce or Boice lyrics by Protomartyr
Google’s omniscient eye is likened nearly to Harry Potter’s Dementors here. It knows “our failures,” our weaknesses, our flaws, and our “secret lovers [who] exist as numbers” on the dirtyier parts of the internet. The track, like the lead single, releases plenty of built-up tension with a late-song groove change, as the snare moves from ‘three’ to its rightful home on ‘four’ of the 6/8 beat.
