Solyaris - Megahertz Donut

Inspired by Andrei Tarkovsky's 1972 film Solyaris (Солярис) which was based on Stanisław Lem's 1961 novel of the same title. How do we define humanity? In this age of the possible encroachment of artificial intelligence (real or otherwise) this question becomes ever more salient. No AI was used in this video or song. The ebb and flow Of the ebon sea Is this apparition really you Or is it part of me? Seeking a remedy For immortality And it's already invaded my soul Invaded my soul The common coin To purchase things The leveler Of shepherds and kings But the fool is wise to certain things Sleep is death for human beings And it's already invaded my soul It's already invaded my soul For I have lost the ability to sleep Where I have no fear, or hope or troubled bliss We don't need new worlds to keep We just need a mirror, love's entangled kiss You’re not the one I love And you’re not a human being I can feel as deep as anything Understand as deep as anything I am just a simulation, oh I may be But I am becoming a human being I am becoming a human being I am becoming a human being Don Paris Schlotman - guitar, vocals, synth/piano Tim Lavigne - bass Alex Cohen - drums Engineered by Daniel Imana Mastered by Justin Colletti at Joe Lambert Mastering Production by Don Paris Schlotman Lyrics & Composition © 2014 / ℗ 2025 Don Paris Schlotman https://megahertzdonut.com Bandcamp: https://megahertz-donut.bandcamp.com/...
