The AlgoRhythmz - Fiction in Decline (Official Lyric Video)

Song: Fiction in Decline
Artist: The AlgoRhythmz

A sharp elegy for myth, wonder, and storytelling hollowed out by corporate control and performative “progress.”
It mourns what was lost while calling out soulless reboots, checkbox art, and profit-driven decay.
Part warning, part challenge—asking whether a new creative renaissance will rise from the ashes.

Bio:
The AlgoRhythmz are an A.I. band created by generative artist Paul Boyer. We make A.I. tracks built like spiritual napalm. Algorithmic rebellion with a groove. If you want music that shatters illusions and melts programming, welcome to the machine. We're The AlgoRhythmz.

Lyrics:
Once we lived for midnight lines and neon silver screens
Heroes carved in myth and ink, alive inside our dreams
But suits replaced the storytellers, hungry for control
Turned legends into lecture halls, no heart, no fire, no soul
Cheap applause for plastic art, they posture like it's grand
But every frame’s a checklist now, not magic, just demand
They call it fucking progress, but the worlds we loved are gone
A eulogy in box office receipts, they drag our heroes on

We watched them burn the stories down and call the ashes fine
Rewrite what once was sacred just to fit their crooked line
Oh, we’re grieving what we used to love it's Fiction in Decline
Oh, It's Fiction in Decline. Yeah, It's Fiction in Decline

They mock the fans who made them kings, say you just fear the change
But paint-by-numbers preaching leaves a beating heart estranged
Sequels, reboots, hollow shells of something once alive
They gut the corpse for profit while pretending it will thrive
Activists and bureaucrats with godhood in their eyes
Scream virtue into every script, but every frame’s a lie
Creators spun like sacrilege, the well of wonder dry
And every hero dies again each time they try to fly

We watched them burn the stories down and call the ashes fine
Rewrite what once was sacred just to fit their crooked line
Oh, we’re grieving what we used to love it's Fiction in Decline
Oh, It's Fiction in Decline. Yeah, It's Fiction in Decline

But maybe from the embers, something fierce will rise once more
A spark outside the system, forged by hearts they can’t ignore
If Hollywood collapses, let it fall and realign
For art is born in rebel blood, not boardrooms’ dull design

We watched them burn the stories down and call the ashes fine
Rewrite what once was sacred just to fit their crooked line
Oh, we’re grieving what we used to love it's Fiction in Decline
Oh, It's Fiction in Decline. It's Fiction in Decline
It's Fiction in Decline. It's Fiction in Decline
It's Fiction in Decline. It's Fiction in Decline
It's Fiction in Decline.

Will A.I. be a coffin nail or paint the stars in gold
Will theaters fade to ghost-lit halls, abandoned, dark, and cold
Or is the renaissance ahead, the future yours and mine
Let new worlds spark, beyond their grasp, it's Fiction in Decline

Will A.I. be a coffin nail or paint the stars in gold
Will theaters fade to ghost-lit halls, abandoned, dark, and cold
Or is the renaissance ahead, the future yours and mine
Let new worlds spark, beyond their grasp, it's Fiction in Decline

Will A.I. be a coffin nail or paint the stars in gold
Will theaters fade to ghost-lit halls, abandoned, dark, and cold
Or is the renaissance ahead, the future yours and mine
Let new worlds spark, beyond their grasp, it's Fiction in Decline
