The track ‘Iron Man’ by German band ‘Die Krupps’
talks about using technology to rise beyond the frail physical and
mental confines of the human body into a new cybernetic self
"this body
is invisible, perfection is the principle"
Die Krupps
Die Krupps II: The Final Option (1993)
Iron Man
go shed the old skin -
for the new skin
transgression
let the old flesh-
rotten to trash
resscurection
seize the old laws
riddled by flaws
perfection
open your mind
don't stay behind
progression
weakness - these days are over
old flesh - replaced by shiny armour
new thoughts - the mind expanding
real tasks - that are demanding this
body is invisible
perfection is the principle feel
the clockwork
of the new heart
precision
feed the engine
of your bloodstream
recondition
move your muscles
like a machine
direction
give your life
a new dimension
extension
