Depression Of Cybernetics

The song 'Depression Of Cybernetics' by VOCALOID delves into a dystopian world where the relentless pursuit of progress and evolution has led to a city on the brink of collapse. The lyrics paint a picture of a society that has become a victim of its own desires, repeating the same mistakes over and over again. The city, described as being built like a stack of blocks, is fragile and ready to crumble under the weight of its own advancements. This imagery suggests a precarious balance, where the slightest disturbance could lead to total destruction.

The song also explores the cyclical nature of conflict and creation. The line 'arasoi ga omocha wo umidashite, omocha ga mata arasoi wo unde mugen ruupu' (conflict gives birth to toys, and toys give birth to more conflict, an infinite loop) highlights the endless cycle of strife and the creation of distractions or 'toys' that only serve to perpetuate further conflict. This metaphor can be seen as a critique of how technological advancements and material possessions often lead to more problems rather than solutions, trapping society in a never-ending loop of turmoil.

The repeated plea of 'tasukete kudasai' (please help) from the city itself personifies the urban environment, giving it a voice that cries out for awareness and intervention before it's too late. The song suggests that if society continues on its current path, it will inevitably lead to ruin. The final lines, 'aishitai nante omoenai no nara sore demo ii, semete mayotte kudasai, hayai uchi ni, hai ga furu sono mae ni' (if you can't think of loving, that's fine, at least get lost, before the ashes fall), emphasize the urgency of change and the dire consequences of inaction. The song serves as a powerful commentary on the dangers of unchecked progress and the importance of recognizing and addressing societal issues before they lead to irreversible damage.
