Progressive Metal band from France, Spheres, releases their first single "Virtual Prison" which belongs to their upcoming album "Dyson" out on October 16th through Art Gates Records.
Virtual Prison tells the story of someone trapped inside an artificial reality without even realizing it.
At its core, Virtual Prison isn't really a song about artificial intelligence. It's a song about human connection becoming the last thing an artificial world can never truly replicate.
Lyric video created by David Lino
Album recorded at JL Studio, Montreuil, France by Jonathan Lino
Mixed by Chris Edrich
Mastered by Pierrick Noel
Artwork and design by Julien Grelet

LYRICS
Lines of code run deep
Through my mind they seep
Faces start to blur
Those Facts become a slur
Something isn't right
Why it’s so bright
Then I see her face
Filled with human grace
Like a beacon true
Breaking my world view
Something isn't right
Why it’s so bright
Patterns start to show
Things I didn't know
When she holds my hand
I begin to stand
Against the flowing stream
Waking from this dream
As the system fails
Truth slowly unveils
Every touch reveals the cracks in this shell
Every kiss breaks codes that bind me so well
Every glance we share makes falsehoods dispel
Is love my freedom or my prison cell?
Static in the air
Glitches everywhere
No one seems to see
What she shows me
In her eyes I find
Another kind
Pieces don't align
When our souls entwine
Matrix starts to shake
As we awake
In her eyes I find
Another kind
Hold me through this night
While the world rewrites
Kiss me one more time
As the systems chime
Take my hand in yours
As the program soars
Let me feel your heart
Though we're worlds apart
Are you even real
Or just a dream ?
Every touch reveals the cracks in this shell
Every kiss breaks codes that bind me so well
Every glance we share makes falsehoods dispel
Is love my freedom or my prison cell?
Now I see the truth clear,
This isn’t real
I feel the fear,
Caught inside this steel,
Drowning in tear,
But I will heal
Virtual Prison
