Lyrics[]
Thoughts swim in black holes
A multiverse of minds I ride
Divide and multiply by none
Shared scraps of one soul
The blindfold tears into the eyes
Scream with the voices of no-one
A yawning empty space
Defective interface
Stare through the mirror of the self
Reflect the face of someone else
Force flex the engines
Courtship of chemical and chrome
Locked into unions of demand
Tissue to tendon
Congeal to seal my catacomb
Secrete the soul from rancid glands
The ocean’s cold embrace
Defective interface
Stare through the mirror of the self
Reflect the face of someone else
Divide the zero down
Sunder and multiply me
Divide the zero down

Inspired by Soma.
Due to the opaque nature of the lyric "divide the zero", Gavin Dunne has linked questioners to the following comment, made on the Youtube video by user portaljumper339:
"So, that main recurring lyric of "Divide The Zero", to me, seems to tie into the main theme of SOMA being the idea of splitting the self and one's consciousness amongst many forms, and the repercussions thereof... we think of the soul and one's consciousness as inherently whole and singular; you shouldn't be able to divide it, much like in math you can't divide by zero. It has also become a bit memetic for someone to "divide by zero" and cause some horrible break in the laws of physics or space-time, and in the process of dividing your characters consciousness amongst many bodies and forms you create a chaotic state of mind for the character and the player."
