The Son of X‐51 Songtext
von Powerman 5000

Is he approached by a man
Or a machine in search of a soul
This is an odyssey to freedom
A journey for a name
For one who is only a number
The son of X-51

Sitting with your eyes shut tightly
Waiting for the time you must leave
Surrounded by people that you′ll never know
But still must go and transmit the sound
Of what you have found and leave everything that you knew behind

Let's go, I know the sound of x five one
And so, you′ll know your time has only begun

Can it be what you want it to be
Can it be everything
Now can it be what you need it to be
Begging you to believe


Can it be what you want it to be
But can it be everything
Can it be what you need it to be
Begging you to believe

Let's go, I know the son of x five one
And so, you'll know your time has only begun

Watching with your arms wide open
Thinking everyone should just stop
Surrounded by people that you′ll never need
Now who′s gonna leave and plan to deceive
Is what we all need, and keep everything that you knew inside

Let's go, I know the sound of x five one
And so, you′ll know your time has just only begun

One, one
The sound of x fifty-
One, one, one
The sound of x fifty-

Can it be what you want it to be
Can it be everything
Can it be what you need it to be
Begging you to believe
