Charade
Charade of Deception in a 21st Century World
Lyrics
It's all fair game
Everything is open to competition or challenge.
There ain't nothing sacred
Nothing is considered sacred or untouchable.
You ride the train
Metaphorical reference to engaging in life's journey.
Don't wanna miss it at the station
Do not want to miss out on opportunities or experiences in life.
Make every sacrifice
Willing to make any necessary sacrifices.
There ain't nothing that's too shameless
There are no limits to what one is willing to do.
Ain't no cost, what's the price
Actions come without a perceived cost, questioning morality.
When everyone goes blameless?
Questioning accountability in a blameless society.
That's the sad reality
Highlighting the unfortunate reality of the situation.
To the victor goes the spoils
The winner takes everything, regardless of morality.
Good and bad as it can be
Life has its ups and downs, both good and bad.
21st century world, 21st century world
Commentary on the complexities of the modern world.
You like the shine
Enjoying the attention and success on social media.
That your Instagram is bringing
The positive aspects that your online presence brings.
Does it turn you blind
Are you blinded to the impact of your messages?
To the messages you're sending?
Reflecting on the consequences of your online actions.
Put it all out on display
Displaying everything publicly for attention.
You're so desperate for attention
Desperation for attention overrides discretion.
But there's so much you give away
Unaware of what is being unintentionally revealed.
To the glorious deception
Falling for the allure of deceptive appearances.
That's the sad reality
Reiteration of the unfortunate reality of the situation.
To the victor goes the spoils
The victorious ones reap the rewards, regardless of ethics.
Good and bad as it can be
Life has its positive and negative aspects.
21st century world, 21st century world
Reflection on the challenges of the contemporary world.
The art of manipulation
Exploring the craft of influencing or controlling others.
The silent transformation
A subtle, unnoticed transformation taking place.
The mystery of permanence and change
Contemplation on the balance between stability and change.
So many contradictions
The existence of conflicting ideas and beliefs.
Seduce our weaker nature
Appealing to our vulnerable side as we continue with the facade.
As we aimlessly go on with the charade, the charade
Acknowledging the deceptive nature of the ongoing performance.
The charade
Emphasizing the ongoing act or pretense.
Make every sacrifice
Reiteration of the willingness to make sacrifices.
There ain't nothing that's too shameless
No limits to what one is willing to do, regardless of shame.
Ain't no cost, what's the price
Actions come without a perceived cost, questioning morality.
When everyone goes blameless?
Questioning accountability in a blameless society.
That's the sad reality
Highlighting the unfortunate reality of the situation.
To the victor goes the spoils
The winner takes everything, regardless of morality.
Good and bad as it can be
Life has its ups and downs, both good and bad.
21st century world, 21st century world
Reflection on the challenges of the contemporary world.
21st century world
Reiteration of the challenges faced in the 21st century.
