Lyrics
Intro – 0:00–0:35
I don't even wanna know what they're gonna do with all of the evidence
lush pad layer + warm analog bass
LFO stuttered vocal chops: “Little black boxes… listening…”
subtle riser FX + harmonic overlay
Verse 1 – 0:35–1:20
They told me they could read my mind with the microchip in my medicine
airy + cinematic reverb
I hear little black boxes talking, hiding in my favorite places
warm analog + subtle saturation
And I have tried to erase them, but they still know
emotional arp layers + sidechain pitch
Chorus 1 – 1:20–2:00
What they do in the night is out of my hands
pad layer + riser FX + wide stereo
And what they know isn't right, but they'll never understand
harmonic overlay + emotional arp layers
And all my little black boxes said that I should let 'em in
mini ad-libs: “I feel it… I feel it…”
And they promised they'd stay quiet, but they know
wide stereo + LFO stuttered vocals on key lines
Verse 2 – 2:00–2:45
Sometimes I think about what I would do with all of my wasted time
airy + cinematic reverb
I'd probably just watch TV or read a book, at least I'd feel alive
warm analog + sidechain pitch
I hear little black boxes talking, hiding in my favorite places
emotional arp layers + subtle micro delay
And I have tried to erase them, but they still know
harmonic overlay + riser FX
Chorus 2 – 2:45–3:30
What they do in the night is out of my hands
pad layer + riser FX + harmonic overlay
And what they know isn't right, but they'll never understand
wide stereo + emotional arp layers
And all my little black boxes said that I should let 'em in
mini ad-libs: “I feel it… I feel it…”
And they promised they'd stay quiet, but they know
subtle LFO stuttered vocals + cinematic textures
Outro – 3:30–4:00
And what they do in the night, and what they know isn't right
pad layer fades out + cinematic textures
And they'll never understand, all my little black boxes said that I should let 'em in
emotional arp tail + whispering airy vocal: “Little black boxes… they know…”
