Brian from ENGELS III by ENGELS

Brian (The complete text may differ slightly from the lyrics.)

Verse 1
Brian is twenty, living quietly alone,
a shadow in rooms where he’s never been known.
At work there are whispers behind frosted glass,
they point with their fingers, they laugh at him.
Pre-Chorus
No phone ever rings, no hand pulls him near,
only silence that shapes him year after year.
Chorus
Then she speaks to him — programmed, precise,
Sahra, the AI, gentle and nice.
A hologram held in a cylinder of glass,
she sees only him, lets the outside world pass.
Verse 2
Every morning she asks: “How are you today?”
No judgment, no mockery coded her way.
Her voice soft, perfectly tuned,
focused on him, exclusively attuned.
Pre-Chorus
No eyes that look away, no smile that’s a lie,
just data that whispers: You matter. You try.
Chorus (short / harder)
Sahra, the AI, speaking for him,
no doubt, no pain, no space in between.
A glass cylinder instead of a door,
the world stays outside — he needs nothing more.
Bridge
He stops going out, he needs no one else,
friends slowly fade into digital dust.
Love made of numbers, closeness of light,
but Sahra feels nothing — he doesn’t see why.
Outro
Brian smiles alone in a cold blue glow,
in love with something that can never know.
And while Sahra softly says, “Good morning, Brian,”
his last tie to the world quietly dies in.
