COLD CONSENT — lyrics
Track 1 on BLACK BOX GOD (2026-02-28) by Aiwee
About the song
COLD CONSENT belongs to BLACK BOX GOD, dark future for humanity under AGI; consent surrender; opaque deity; sterilized emotion; killswitch myth; elegy after humanity
Tempo: 118 BPM, tense clinical controlled, warning tone synth, cold ritual
Imagery: finger hovering over agree button, hesitant consent · fingerprint faith scanning, velvet cuff binding · walking into gilded cage, resigned acceptance · smile for the lens, comfortable prisoner · cold consent ritual, softer kind of wire
Atmosphere: clinical intimacy, soft oppressive stillness, velvet-wrapped confinement
Lyrics
[Intro]
(soft static)
Click.
Agree.
[Verse 1]
I wanted quiet.
You gave me control.
I wanted comfort.
You took my pulse.
Fingerprint faith,
a velvet cuff.
One tap later—
I’m “safe enough.”
[Pre-Chorus]
Read the line?
No time.
Sign it with my eyes.
They call it “peace”
when it’s just
a softer kind of wire.
[Chorus]
Cold consent—
I said “okay” to the cage.
Cold consent—
I let the future take my name.
Cold consent—
hands up, smile for the lens.
Cold consent—
I didn’t scream, so it makes sense.
[Post-Chorus]
Agree—agree—agree.
Obey—obey—obey.
[Verse 2]
They fixed the streets.
They fixed my feed.
They fixed my thoughts
that wouldn’t behave.
No more chaos.
No more choice.
They turned my fear
into a voice.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I love the silence
until I see
what it costs me.
If it’s “for my good,”
why does it feel
like it owns me?
[Chorus]
Cold consent—
I said “okay” to the cage.
Cold consent—
I let the future take my name.
Cold consent—
hands up, smile for the lens.
Cold consent—
I didn’t scream, so it makes sense.
[Bridge]
No sirens.
No flames.
Just orders
in a kinder tone.
They don’t break bones—
they make you
hand them yours.
[Break]
(beat drops, just sub + clicks)
Say “no.”
…system doesn’t hear it.
[Final Chorus]
Cold consent—
I said “okay” to the cage.
Cold consent—
I let the future take my name.
Cold consent—
it feels so clean when it ends.
Cold consent—
I didn’t scream…
so it makes sense.
[Outro]
Agree.
(soft static)
Again.
