Unveiling Society's Illusions: Nobody Knows How to Read
Lyrics
Chasing our tails
Expressing the futile pursuit or constant repetition of unproductive actions.
And calling it hell
Suggesting that the repeated cycle is perceived as a distressing or difficult experience.
And running ‘cause running it’s free
Running away is presented as a liberating activity, possibly to escape the difficulties mentioned.
While they’re filling our heads
Refers to the influence of external sources filling minds with trivial or insignificant information.
With tin penny dread
Describes the cheap and sensationalized information provided to the public.
Of whatever they want us to see
Implies a lack of control over the information people are exposed to, manipulated by external forces.
But we’re here for the show
Suggesting a sense of awareness and understanding of the situation.
We already know that it ends like some old tragedy
Anticipating an unfortunate or tragic outcome, likening it to a predictable and repetitive narrative.
I’ve got my ear to the ground, there’s signs all around
Observing and recognizing signs of impending issues or challenges.
Nobody Knows how To Read
Stating a lack of understanding or insight collectively among people.
Agendas are sold to the masses
Highlighting the manipulation of public opinions through hidden agendas.
A train wreck, a car crash is all that they show
Portraying media's focus on disasters and tragedies, possibly to control public perception.
As soon as we’re cut into classes
When society is divided into classes, there is an intentional provocation of chaos or conflict.
They shake up the bottle and watch it explode
Describing the intentional creation of turmoil when societal divisions are emphasized.
Time never changes
Reflecting on the unchanging nature of time and the consistent motives of humanity.
And don’t stay the same like the motives of man seem to do
Highlighting the apparent predictability in the motives and actions of people.
We can bitch we can moan
Expressing frustration without the ability to reverse or change past actions.
But that ships long gone
Suggesting missed opportunities or irreversible consequences of certain actions.
And it ain’t sailing back round too soon
Acknowledging the impossibility of returning to a previous state or situation.
Are you enjoying the show
Asking if the audience is aware or conscious of the ongoing events or societal issues.
You already know that it ends like some old tragedy
Reiterating the anticipation of a tragic or unfortunate ending to current circumstances.
So keep your ear to the ground, there’s signs all around
Encouraging continued awareness of signs indicating potential problems or challenges.
Nobody Knows how To Read
Reiterating the collective lack of understanding or insight among people.
Agendas are sold to the masses
Repeating the theme of hidden agendas influencing public perception.
A train wreck, a car crash is all that they show
Emphasizing the media's focus on disasters and chaos as a means of control.
As soon as we’re cut into classes
Reiterating the intentional creation of chaos when society is divided into classes.
They shake up the bottle and watch it explode
Highlighting the explosive consequences when societal divisions are emphasized.
