Doctrine of Atrophy
Societal Atrophy: Embracing Subjugation
Lyrics
A people without values or goals
A society lacking values or clear objectives.
Biomachines, comfort is above all
People treated as biomachines, prioritizing comfort above all else.
With open arms we welcome our doom
Embracing impending destruction willingly.
Rejoicing on the way to our tomb
Celebrating while approaching inevitable demise.
Serfdom kingdom, say goodbye to freedom
A kingdom of servitude, bidding farewell to freedom.
Senseless living, trudge without a reason
Living without purpose, moving forward aimlessly.
Limit, censor, they decide what's proper
Imposing limits and censorship, defining what is acceptable.
Transient era of free speech is over
An era of free speech coming to an end.
We've unlearned to struggle and to win
Forgetting the art of struggle and victory.
Tranquilly watching our defeat
Passively witnessing one's own defeat.
Scream and cry, but then we calm down
Expressing frustration but eventually calming down.
Forgive and forget what they have done
Forgiving and forgetting the wrongs committed.
The brave new world holds a place for you and me
A dystopian future awaits everyone.
Get into your stall, you human livestock
Comparing humans to livestock in a confined space.
Wise men have figured out what is best for everyone
Wise individuals determining what's best for all.
Don't you try to doubt, they will cut your throat
Warning against questioning, with severe consequences.
Serfdom kingdom, say goodbye to freedom
Reiteration of a kingdom of servitude and loss of freedom.
Senseless living, trudge without a reason
Continuation of purposeless existence.
Limit, censor, they decide what's proper
Further emphasis on imposed limits and censorship.
Transient era of free speech is over
Reaffirmation that the era of free speech has ended.
All civilizations fall
Declaring the fall of all civilizations.
Tyrannies have returned
The return of tyrannies.
And freedoms have turned to sand
Freedoms disintegrating into insignificance.
Medieval times come back
A metaphorical return to medieval times.
Serfdom kingdom, say goodbye to freedom
Reiteration of a kingdom of servitude and loss of freedom.
Senseless living, trudge without a reason
Continuation of purposeless existence.
Limit, censor, they decide what's proper
Further emphasis on imposed limits and censorship.
Transient era of free speech is over
Reaffirmation that the era of free speech has ended.
