Lyrics
A nation sleeps
A nation is in a state of dormancy or indifference.
Another stays hungry and doesn't
While some suffer from hunger, others remain oblivious.
Dare to dream the success we seek
People are afraid to aspire to the success they desire.
Trickles down to the gutter where
Success barely reaches the lower socio-economic levels.
The prison bars meet foundations weak
Prison bars intersect with weak foundations, symbolizing systemic issues.
Add more stress to the cracks
Additional stress exacerbates existing societal cracks.
In the balance sheet but please don't speak
People are discouraged from speaking about economic imbalances.
The earth is a product, save the receipt
The Earth is treated as a commodity, with a sarcastic reference to saving a receipt.
We are cultured commute, work
A repetitive cycle of life: commuting, working, and sleeping.
Commute, sleep we are cultured
-Commute, work commute, sleep
-In a society (In a society)
Society eliminates everything, and to eliminate society seems the only solution.
That abolishes all things
-(That abolishes all things)
-To abolish society (To abolish society)
-Is the only thing
-We are cultured commute, work
Reiteration of the monotonous cycle of life.
Commute, sleep we are cultured
-Commute, work commute, sleep, yeah
-Those who make freedom halfway
Those compromising on freedom are jeopardizing their own future.
Are those who dig their own graves
-Those who make freedom halfway
-Are those who dig their own graves
-We are cultured commute, work
Repetition of the cyclic nature of life, emphasizing cultural conformity.
Commute, sleep we are cultured
-Commute, work commute, sleep
-
