Lyrics
(spoken) The longer the meme stayed with the girl, the more she noticed the girl, Rebecca, was unplugging less and less. In fact, she was slowly wasting away and would eventually die. The little meme entered the net to follow Rebecca and try to lure her out Online, Rebecca spent most of her time in an elaborate, expansive, online gameworld set in an Arabian Nights scenario Rebecca had an avatar name, Tess, so the little meme created an avatar named Vadvi and slowly befriended the girl. The two of them became very close, traversing the mythical gameworld together One day the two girls professed romantic love for each other. The little meme was unspeakably happy, but she also knew that if Rebecca were to ever see her in real life, her ugliness would destroy their love The sweet swirling spells in the desert The glamours and genies we meet The carpet that flies in the twilight Her smiling and here beside me The curses we work to unravel The lands of enchantment we seek Immersion in storybook forests Her smiling and here beside me Late into the night we lay talking We comfort and laugh and we weave A quilt of connection, desire Her smiling and here beside me And if we are lost in illusion And all is enchantment we see A wonderful world of delusion So sweet is the lie to believe I’m often surrounded by strangeness Realities hard to believe Longings I haven’t the words for Sadnesses most will not see All this might pass in a moment All might be gone next we speak But for a brief time there was magic And her smiling here beside me And if we are lost in illusion And all is enchantment we see A wonderful world of delusion So sweet is the lie to believe (spoken) Despite the little meme’s bliss, she couldn’t help but become aware of the game’s sinister undercurrent. The gameworld functioned as a subtle psychic vacuum, drawing some in further and further until there was no return. Rebecca was almost at this point. The little meme begged the girl to stop the journey before it was too late, but Rebecca just laughed. She passed a gate too far and as the meme watched, her love slid away from her. She called out, but her voice was fragile and small. So she too leapt past the gateway, to follow her love to their doom
