So Paranoid
Paranoia Unveiled: Society's Echo in 'So Paranoid' by A Global Threat
Lyrics
hearing sounds at your front door
Hearing suspicious noises outside the house.
Do they think you don't watch out anymore?
Questioning whether vigilance is disregarded by potential intruders.
Will they come and take what's yours?
Concern about the possibility of theft or invasion.
All the houses look the same
Observation of homogeneity among residences.
And do they even know your name?
Doubt regarding familiarity with neighbors.
Or these sounds just an a.m. train
Speculating whether the sounds are simply from a passing morning train.
You get so paranoid, I get so paranoid
Expressing heightened anxiety and fear.
We get so paranoid, 'cause we're stuck
Shared experience of feeling trapped in fear.
Inside this fucking void
Feeling stuck in an emptiness or lack of meaning.
It's society and we can't avoid it
Recognizing societal pressures and constraints.
Don't tell me you can
Asserting the impossibility of avoiding societal influences.
So go ahead and say you don't trust me
Challenging someone's lack of trust.
'cause I'm not apart of your polity
Rejecting belonging to a specific political or social group.
And I don't care what you think of me
Emphasizing indifference to others' opinions.
Still in this city we all seem insane
Observation of widespread mental distress in the city.
And I don't think I wanna know your name
Disinterest in getting to know others due to a shared sense of impending doom.
'cause when they come for us
Anticipating a collective fate or identity under threat.
We'll all be the SAME
Highlighting the loss of individuality in a crisis.
