Lost in Complexity

[Verse 1]

In the heart of a world so bright,
Gleaming cities touched the sky.
Machines hummed with silent might,
Yet no soul knew how or why.

Dreams of progress, uncontained,
Blind to the webs they spun.
The essence of knowledge waned,
As they basked beneath their sun.

[Chorus]

Lost in complexity, in a labyrinth of steel,
They danced on wires of obscurity's reel.
Forgetting the roots from which they grew,
In a world so advanced, yet nobody knew.

[Verse 2]

Social fabric, thinly veiled,
Worn by pride and disregard.
When the intricate systems failed,
The fall was fast, the landing hard.

Voices echoed in the halls,
"Who knows how to mend our plight?"
But the echo only calls,
In the deep, forsaken night.

[Chorus]

Lost in complexity, in a dream they wove,
Ignorance was the crown, and apathy the stove.
Forging their destiny, in blind vanity's hue,
In a world so advanced, yet nobody knew.

[Bridge]

In shadows of forgotten lore,
Lies the wisdom they once bore.
But buried deep in digital sands,
Escaped the grasp of human hands.

[Verse 3]

Now whispers stir in ruins dim,
Of a time when lights were bright.
The future's path, once clear and trim,
Now veiled in perpetual night.

In the rubble of their pride,
Lies a lesson, stark and true:
The greatest danger does reside,
In a world understood by few.

[Chorus]

Lost in complexity, in a tale of yore,
A civilization grand, but wise no more.
In their quest for zenith, they forgot to view,
A world so advanced, yet nobody knew.

[Outro]

So listen well, and heed this tale,
Of a world that lost its way.
In simplicity, truth prevails,
Lest we, too, are led astray.
