about

Imminent Hard Drive Failure is one of our oldest songs, something that we wrote in 2016.

This song is kind of from the perspective of someone who embraces the rapid progression of technology, without thinking about the dangers and implications of what they are doing. It's like a cautionary tale about technology, but with a science-fiction twist to it.

We're kind of going for a "Goosebumps / Round The Twist" vibe with this, kind of a young-adult, pulp-horror aesthetic in the lyrics and a B-movie sci-fi aesthetic musically.

lyrics

Bought myself a brand-new computer
Got myself all the latest gear
Top of the line when they were purchased
Superseded after a year

Software doesn’t work with the hardware.
All the fans are clogged up with dust.
And now I have downloaded a virus!
A prince like that I thought you could trust!

Imminent! Hard Drive! Failure! Failure!
Imminent! Hard Drive! Failure! Failure!
Imminent! Hard Drive! Failure! Failure!
Imminent! Hard Drive! Failure! Failure!

Got myself that brand new game
Addiction hit me like a disease
But how can I ever solo mid lane?
When the motherboard’s 200 degrees!

Computers are the way of the future
Computers are the way of the future
Computers are the way of the future
Computers are the way of the future

Computers are the way of the future
(Hard drive is crashing again)
Computers are the way of the future
(Hard drive is crashing again)
Computers are the way of the future
(Hard drive is crashing again)
Computers are the way of the future
(Hard drive is crashing again)

Imminent! Hard Drive! Failure! Failure!
Imminent! Hard Drive! Failure! Failure!
Imminent! Hard Drive! Failure! Failure!
Imminent! Hard Drive! Failure! Failure!

I want to be put into stasis.
My brain wired into a machine
ERROR CODE – 42D50
Just what hell is that supposed to mean?!

Computers are the way of the future
(Hard drive is crashing again)
Computers are the way of the future
(Hard drive is crashing again)
Computers are the way of the future
(Hard drive is crashing again)
Computers are the way of the future
(Hard drive is crashing again)

Computers are the way of the future!!
(Hard drive is crashing again)
Computers are the way of the future!!
(Hard drive is crashing again)
Computers are the way of the future!!
(Hard drive is crashing again)
Computers are the way of the future!!
(It keeps on crashing!)
