Grimes pens new TREACLES anthem: "I wanna be software, upload my mind"

genius.com Genius

When she's not busy fantasizing about libertarian crypto-based UBI schemes or propping up the patriarchy, she's writing wearying odes to transhumanism and longtermism. Truly the voice of a generation.

  • Lifted lyrics from youtube comments, with commentary:

    I wanna be software
    Upload my mind
    Take all my data
    What will you find?

    A disturbing rejection of humanity.
    And a disturbing invitation for data harvesting.

    I wanna be software
    Binary heart
    Infinite options
    State of the art

    A cry for help, for less emotion ?

    I wanna be software
    I wanna be code
    Digital dancing
    Upload my soul

    Nitpicking, but code is also mere text.
    A call for sweet eternal digital un-death.

    I wanna be software
    The best design
    Infinite princess
    Computer mind

    I don't know that I would trust mortal hands to the design of souls.
    Isn't being a princess as you live enough?

    I wanna be software
    Live in the cloud
    Fictional system
    Tell me how

    Perhaps forgetting that the cloud is very real, not so ethereal and/or without impact/reliance on the "real" world.

    [...]
    I wanna be, wanna be, software
    What will you find? (x4)
    You can write me, you can be soft(ware)
    You can make me however you like (x4)
    You can write me, you can design
    You can make me however you like (x2)

    Song disturbingly in a electro "love song" lyric style (I hope i'm wrong).
    Is this a "Please make me into your robot girlfriend" song ?
