Resisting Puppetry: Broken Promises Unveil a World of Struggle
Lyrics
We were once so safe, but now we're not
We were once in a secure situation, but that is no longer the case.
Now the world is ready to drop
The world is on the brink of collapse or crisis.
Lost in thought and lost in trouble
Feeling confused and troubled, lost in contemplation.
Out in the open, they popped our bubble
We were exposed to difficulties and challenges that burst our protective bubble.
The light is fading, we're controlled
The brightness is diminishing, and external forces control us.
The warmth is fading, we're smothered in cold
The warmth is disappearing, and we are enveloped in coldness.
What we knew has been altered and changed
Our understanding of reality has been changed and distorted.
What was normal is turning insane
Normalcy is transforming into madness.
The strings that pull her, controlled by puppeteers
A metaphor for being manipulated by external forces, like puppeteers controlling strings.
Bombed by the gas and lost in fear
Victimized by harmful influences and overwhelmed by fear.
Locked in, kept quiet, don't make a sound
Being silenced and trapped, urged not to speak out.
Drowned in debt, losing too many pounds
Burdened by debt, experiencing significant weight loss.
Sold for money at their greasy hands
Exploited for money, subjected to manipulation by unscrupulous individuals.
Caught in a trap, as if it's all planned
Trapped in a premeditated situation, as if it was planned.
Suffocated by the growing plastic
Suffocated by the environmental impact of increasing plastic usage.
Big boys at the top tell us 'stop being drastic!'
Powerful individuals at the top discourage extreme actions to address issues.
Sold for money, cutting her into pieces
Being exploited for money to the extent of being dismembered metaphorically.
Pennies are falling, the economy decreases
Economic decline represented by falling pennies.
Filled with pills, with smoke that kills
Surrounded by harmful substances and destructive habits.
Lost between payments for food bills, now
Caught in the struggle to afford basic necessities like food bills.
Fuck the government and fuck the money
Expressing frustration and anger towards the government and monetary systems.
They sit there laughing, yeah, it's so funny
Those in power find humor in the struggles faced by the population.
Locked in, keep quiet, or they might get rid
Advising to remain silent or face potential consequences.
Cos they'll always come knocking for a few extra quid
Expecting persistent financial demands from authorities.
The strings that pull her, controlled by puppeteers
Reiteration of being controlled like a puppet by external forces.
Bombed by the gas and you're lost in fear
Victimized by harmful influences, particularly referencing gas-related threats.
Locked in, kept quiet, don't make a sound
Encouraging silence and non-resistance to avoid repercussions.
Drowned in debt, losing too many pounds
Continued struggle with debt, leading to significant weight loss.
So fuck the government and fuck the money
Reiteration of frustration and anger towards the government and monetary systems.
They sit there laughing, yeah, it's so funny
Highlighting the irony of those in power finding humor in the struggles of the people.
Locked in, keep quiet, or they might get rid
Reinforcement of the advice to remain silent to avoid negative consequences.
Cos they'll always come knocking for a few extra quid, now
Warning of the perpetual financial demands that authorities impose.
