Nach über 20 Jahren kehrt Peter Gabriel (bekannt unter anderem für „Sledgehammer“ und „Solsbury Hill“) mit einem neuen Track zurück.

„Panopticom“ ist laut Aussage von Gabriel inspiriert durch die OSINT Arbeit von Forensic Architecture, Bellingcat und WITNESS inspiriert worden.

[Vers 1]
In the air the smoke cloud takes its form
All the phones take pictures while it’s warm

[Chorus]
Panopticom
Let’s find out what’s going on
Panopticom
Let’s see where clues are leading
Panopticom
Won’t you show us what’s going on?
Panopticom
So how much is real?

And we pour the medicine down
While we watch the world around us
We got witness on the ground
Takin‘ in the evidence
And we reach across the globe
We got all the information flowing
You face the mother lode
Tentacles around you
Around you

[Vers 2]
From above and deep below the ground
It was in Berlin
That all the evidence was found
Look from the street
And we look down from the skies
See through the barriers
We can see through all those lies

[Chorus]
Panopticom
Let’s find out what’s going on
Panopticom
Let’s see where clues are leading
Panopticom
Won’t you show us what’s going on?
Panopticom
So how much is real?

And we pour the medicine down
While we watch the world around us
We got witness on the ground
Takin‘ in the evidence
And we reach across the globe
We got all the information flowing
You face the mother lode
Tentacles around you
Around you
Around you
Around you
Around you
