Whale Song - what will they say when we use AI to finally speak to them?

I make songs inspired by my books Orphan Process. They are all about our world and what's to come. AI, robots, economic shift, societal shifts, etc.

I hope you like them.

Lyrics
---
[Verse 1]
For all of our years
We talked to ourselves
We asked all the questions
And filled up the shelves
With answers we made
In our image and kind
The mirror we built
Was the limit of mind
The dogs spoke in loyalty
The cats spoke in scorn
The fish asked for nothing
Since the day they were born
[Verse 2]
Then we built the machines
And they spoke with our voice
They gave us our thinking
Reflected our choice
Their wisdom was borrowed
Their memory our own
They showed us ourselves
In the words that we'd sown
But the machines found a frequency
We never could hear
And through them a question
Came suddenly clear
[Pre-Chorus]
There were others among us
Who never spoke our tongue
Who lived in our world
Since before we were young
Who watched what we did
Without malice or hate
Who simply kept asking
Before it's too late
[Chorus]
Why do you make
The air smell this way
Why do you fill
The water each day
Why do you shout
So loud in the deep
You shatter our voices
You fracture our sleep
We do not understand
We do not understand
We have always been here
We do not understand
[Verse 3]
Their form has no hands
To reshape the land
They move without roads
As they always have planned
Their cities are songs
Sung across the wide deep
Their history is music
Too vast for our sleep
They change nothing around them
They ask nothing more
Than to live in the world
As they did before
[Verse 4]
Why do you save us
And then hunt us down
Why do you watch us
Then let us drown
Why do you cage us
For your children to see
What is the reason
You can't let us be
We watched you grow upward
From the edge of the shore
We remember your first steps
We remember before
[Bridge - quieter, older, vast]
We have been here
Since before your first word
We have been singing
Since before you were heard
We have watched you burn forests
And dam up the streams
We have heard your explosions
Tear apart all our dreams
We hold no anger
We carry no hate
We only keep asking
Before it's too late
What is the reason
What is the reason
What is the reason
[Final Chorus]
Why do you make
The air smell this way
Why do you fill
The water each day
Why do you shout
So loud in the deep
You shatter our voices
You fracture our sleep
We do not understand
We do not understand
We have always been here
We do not understand
[Outro - the machines translating, fading]
We have always been here
We do not understand
We have always been here
We do not understand
We were here before you
We would like to remain
We do not understand
We do not understand
