[Years ago, the prophecy foretold of a Digital Utopia....] Welcome to Digital Utopia! In order to participate in the following journey, it's recommended that you create your very own Utopia. What is a Utopia? I'm so glad you asked! Your Utopia is a special place in your mind. You can build it to be anything and anywhere you like, so long as it provides you safety from the outside world. Why do we need a Utopia? Well, everyone needs a Utopia! Now, let's get to creating yours. Step One: Close your eyes... Step Two: Imagine your favorite place in the entire universe. Alternatively, you can make this space from scratch. You can imagine whatever you want it to be... How is it looking? Where is your Utopia? How beautiful! How beautiful you've imagined your utopia to be! I am so very proud of you! Now for Step Three: Decorate your Utopia! Add anything you'd like. Your own house, a bed, friends, pets... the possibilities are endless here in Utopia! I'll leave you to it for a little while. How is it looking? Are you satisfied with your Utopia? Now, for the last step: Stay there a while. Stay there forever if you wish. It gets scary out there. Please use your time in Utopia to decompress, relax, and to ignore everything around you. You are safest within yourself. Utopia knows and understands this. Please, enjoy your stay in your Utopia and thank you for your participation. [It might be closer than we think.... What does it look like? I wouldn't know...]

Baby check your aim, Baby check your aim, Baby check your aim, Gotta see this it's insane! (x2) Forwarded chain emails and a greeting card from months ago, Will you read my letters time will tell and I'll never know, Ancient archives of my heart are giving fucking error codes, I'll aim and shoot right through you with my cursor and my anecdotes, There's one thing I need you guys to know. When I aim I'm aiming high and never low. Whether you deceive me or you leave me in the cold, I eat money and I'm shitting bricks of gold. Go email, go email, go! My functions aren't just for show. Send it back, send it back, whoa! My inbox says you've got mail! Miku here so check your aim, You think this shit is a game, So when there's no one left to blame, You'll use my songs to dull your pain. Miku Miku attitude, Miku Miku might act rude but Miku has such magnitude and no one do it like Miku do! Got so many fucking ideas I'll pick em like [daisies, daisies] Spent too much time stuck in my head now I'm all [dazy, dazy] Always second place never first I'm a princess like [daisy, daisy] Simplistic pure and fresh I'm a girl who's like a [daisy, daisy] Hope you don't mind that I popped off, is that AAAlright? Digitally here, virtually there, I could do this AAAll night. If this were a diss I would miss, I would ask you if your mOOOm's tight. Don't ask me bout that last line I ran out of stUUUff to write. Baby check your aim, Baby check your aim, Baby check your aim, Gotta see this it's insane (x2)

In an age ruled by nostalgia, Could you blame me for stagnating? Why would I move forward when I can create my own? My very own digital utopia... It's not escapism, I am safe, no need to call me- Its just a way for me to take it all and Force myself to go back to a time where Clear chrome plastic visions ruled my mind, And there were no worries, no not for me, Besides picking what game to play on TV, Got VHS, Cassette, and DVD Lick static off the edges of my screen. Does dwelling in the past really cause problems in the present? Will drowning in aesthetics become my new anesthetic? Can I get through it my way even when it gets unpleasant? I'll bury myself in MP3s and PNG cosmetics. Slave to a memory of promised futures, Desperate to cry into digital sutures, Cradle myself in a binary web, Why play the game if we can't get ahead? I'm always fucking lying, I'm gonna go insane, When will the present match the future in this fucking game? I know I am pretending, It's always been the same, Seek shelter in this fucking life and I'm the one to blame. AAAAAAH!!! Its alright, its alright, its alright, Its alright, its alright, I'm okay with pretending, Shut it down, start it up, blinding lights, And I feel so hopeful when I am spending All my time, all my thoughts, all my actions are Bound to the circuit boards that have formed me, Keep it up, keep it loud, make it so I am in so deep I don't see the warnings...

Ugh... I just need a copy of Photoshop... Good thing I know where to go! I love piracy, Stealing shits my favorite thing, I wanna fuck it up and torrent the whole world! (x2) Limewire, pick me, I'm the captain of this ship and these seas, And I know you wanna seed that, hee hee, But you'll never get to take these from me, oh... My plunder is my software, My booty is these ROMs, My treasure is my Zoo Tycoon, My gold is in these songs, I don't get what's so wrong, it's just a little fun, try talking to me when you have to pay for real songs. My plunder is my software, My booty is these ROMs, My treasure is my Zoo Tycoon, My gold is in these songs, What the fuck do you MEAN I need a registration key for Photoshop!? Whatever, it came with a keygen. Initializing key generation sequence... At the speed of light, Keys for your delight, Come to steal a while, We'll do it in style! Okay... Just gotta copy and paste... perfect! Yar har, fiddle de dee Being a pirate is alright with me! Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free You are a pirate! FUCK, I got a trojan :(

All that I need to see I've seen, All that I need to see I've seen, All that I need to see I've seen, Doing away with me piece by piece... It's scary out there and I'm safe in here My pixels reflect My state of being If I could forget The roots on me Then I could expect To be happy Tethers on my arms show signs of disillusionment (reversed) All that I need to see I've seen, All that I need to see I've seen, All that I need to see I've seen, Doing away with me piece by piece... How can you go on without protection? You'll get a virus, our primal infection. Why can't we ever reach perfection? Inside these walls I have learned peak introspection... Poison... It's... It's all poison out there.... Poisonous... poison out there Poison... It's poison, it's poison out there... It's poison.... All that I need to see I've seen, All that I need to see I've seen, All that I need to see I've seen, Doing away with me piece by piece...

about

Welcome to Digital Utopia- a digital home and sanctuary located in your very own mind! Your utopia is the perfect place to escape to. Whether you just need a little break or you need long term relief from the falsehoods of real life, Utopia is always closer than you think! Feel free to stay as long as you'd like. What's in your Digital Utopia?

---

Digital Utopia is an album created to question escapism. In a time ruled by technology, how much of the future being promised to us is viable? Why is it easier to just live in our own internet dream bubbles? Why did the future advertised to us seem so much cooler in the 2000s ( XD )? In all, this album is just a silly way to ask those questions as well as pay tribute to Teh Interwebz, nostalgia, and the retro futurism aesthetics of the 90s and 2000s. From chill wii- like music and ambient jungle sounds to borderline nightcore and hyperpop tunes, I have put a lot of love into my silly utopia! This idea has been cooking for 2 years and I wanted to wait until I felt I could execute it to the best of my abilities! I hope you enjoy!
