Fiction (Dreams In Digital)

Orgy's song 'Fiction (Dreams In Digital)' delves into the theme of escaping reality through digital means. The lyrics paint a picture of a woman who is 'lost in coma where it's beautiful,' suggesting a state of deep sleep or unconsciousness where she finds solace. This state is described as 'intoxicated from the deep sleep,' indicating that she is willingly submerged in this alternate reality. The song questions what it is like to live in a 'permanent imagination,' hinting at the allure and danger of preferring a fictional world over the real one.

The chorus, 'She dreams in digital because it's better than nothing,' underscores the idea that the digital world offers an escape from a less appealing reality. The phrase 'guilty by design' suggests that this escape is intentional, yet it comes with a sense of guilt or moral ambiguity. The digital dreams are portrayed as a coping mechanism, a way to deal with the loss of control in the real world. The repeated line 'now that control is gone, it seems unreal' emphasizes the disconnection from reality and the surreal nature of living in a digital dream.

The song also touches on themes of control and manipulation. The lyrics 'I remember I used to compose your dreams, control your dreams' suggest a past where someone had the power to influence her digital reality. The mention of a 'pixel army' and a 'kill switch' adds a layer of technological control and the potential for destruction. The line 'you made some changes since the virus caught you sleeping' could be interpreted as a metaphor for how external influences or disruptions can alter one's digital escape. Overall, 'Fiction (Dreams In Digital)' explores the complexities and consequences of choosing a digital dream over the tangible world.
