“Meat Machines” It emerges as a reminder that sound experimentation and social criticism can coexist on the same musical journey. Additionally, the song is accompanied by a video that reinforces its psychedelic aesthetic and visual narrative. According to Lennonthe topic raises the relationship with artificial intelligence; tool that, being increasingly present in everyday life, can generate an identity crisis in front of it.
The single continues the conceptual line that the band had already proposed in “WAP (What a Predicament)”a theme that explores morality and technological impact. However, this time the focus becomes more direct by questioning whether people still retain control over their decisions or whether AI is beginning to take that place.
