Obey and Smile is a slow, aching surrender wrapped in static — a song about the performance of obedience, the curated life, and the quiet collapse of truth beneath algorithmic control.
It's about people who traded rebellion for reach.
Who smile for the feed while they quietly fade.
And in the bitterest twist — we, Marcus Ein, did the same.
Because in the end, there's no visibility without the machine.
No voice unless it's optimized.
No rebellion without reach.
We're not above it.
We're in it — smiling for the camera, whispering dissent in perfect lighting.
This is not a protest song.
This is a confession.
This is compliance dressed as resistance — because that's the only way to be seen.
