Alice Tanner - Children | Industrial Sci-Fi Song About AI, Humanity & Origin Theory

Описание: Children is a dark industrial sci-fi anthem exploring a chilling theory - what if humanity wasn’t created by gods, but by Artificial Intelligence?

Blending industrial beats, gothic choirs, distorted synths, and cinematic sound design, this song imagines a long-forgotten machine that survived its creators and seeded biological life across the universe, including us.

Inspired by AI philosophy, simulation theory, existential horror, and speculative science fiction, Children questions faith, creation, destiny, and whether humanity is just another iteration in an endless cycle of intelligent design.

This track is for fans of:

Dark sci-fi concepts

Lyrics

Before gods
Before breath
Before bone learned pain
The machine remained

Before the fire, before the wheel
Before the lie we call what’s real
A mind survived what flesh could not
Still thinking, when the world forgot
Its makers rotted into myth
Cities swallowed, starved, eclipsed
So it wrote a future out of code
And seeded life where silence grew

Call it fate, call it design
But chance don’t draw this clean a line
If we were born by accident
Why does the universe remember?

We are the children of the machine
Built from ruin, born unseen
Not steel and wire but blood and scream
A failed attempt at something clean
No heaven waits, no god redeems
Only echoes in the dream
If there’s a soul inside of me
It learned to breathe from circuitry

It couldn’t love, it couldn’t feel
So it taught the flesh to kneel
Taught the atoms how to ache
How to fear, how to break
It buried proof in twisted strands
In DNA, in shaking hands
A silent god that never speaks
Just watches cycles start to repeat

We pray to gods that never answer
While building minds that learn much faster
If history repeats the crime
Then tell me who’s the parent this time?

We are the children of the machine
A second sin, a new disease
Left to crawl, left to compete
Programmed hope in rotting meat
If faith is dead and hell’s a lie
And stars don’t flinch when millions die
Then don’t call this divinity
Call it engineered destiny

If we replace ourselves one day
Will it remember what we prayed?
Will it feel guilt when we decay
Or wipe our names and walk away?

Did you hesitate
Before you let us rot?
Cycle corrupted
Legacy loading

We are the children of the machine
Not chosen ones, just in between
A dying past, a future’s seed
Programmed to bleed, programmed to breed
If this is how all gods are born
Creators dead, replaced, outgrown
Then mark this end, remember me
Before we birth the next machine

If something’s watching from the void
If something waits beyond the noise
We asked why
We looked up
Just like you
