Model Society
Breaking Chains: Unveiling the Dystopian Tapestry in Deaf Radio's 'Model Society'
Lyrics
Lost my soul in the glasshouse
Feeling spiritually lost within a confined environment or situation.
There's no logic in this trial
An absence of rationality in the ongoing judgment or situation.
I can feel it underground
Sensing a deeper issue or problem below the surface.
There's a virtual reality I can't escape
Feeling trapped within an inescapable virtual world or construct.
Massive sounds and war tapes
Powerful, impactful sounds akin to war-related recordings.
Bought some feelings to erase
Purchased emotions to obliterate or erase existing feelings.
But I can see it on their face
Recognition of emotions on others' faces despite attempts to conceal.
They've got the combination that I can't let go
Others possess the solution or key to a problem the speaker cannot relinquish.
Angry cities melting down
Urban centers in a state of chaos and breakdown.
Fought our tension with a smile
Confronted tension or conflict with a facade of happiness.
Lost my grip but I don't know why
A loss of control or grasp on a situation without understanding why.
I kept my attention on a big flat screen
Directed attention fixedly on a large screen.
Heavy clothes and empty eyes
People weighed down by burdensome clothing and devoid of emotions.
Marching soldiers passing by
Military or controlled forces passing by in a procession.
All the AI systems got out of hand
Artificial intelligence systems have spiraled out of control.
There's a model society I can't escape
Trapped within a societal structure that cannot be evaded.
We are coming out of cage, we are taking down the walls
Breaking free from confinement and dismantling barriers.
There's a prison for our hopes, they'll be covering our voice
There exists a containment suppressing aspirations and voices.
We got a 21st century phobia
A fear of modern-day technology or advancements.
And all the well-trained stars
Celebrities or role models attempt to hinder progress.
They try to hold us back
Efforts made to restrain or prevent forward movement.
We got 21 problems behind our backs
A multitude of problems obstructing progress.
To move on
A need to move forward despite existing obstacles.
Crossed the city like a mental slave
Moving through a city while feeling mentally enslaved or oppressed.
A million problems but we turn our heads
Awareness of numerous problems yet choosing to ignore them.
I'm on the last train leaving from the fears in my head
Leaving behind fears and anxieties, potentially for a new beginning.
But there's a model a society I can't escape
Feeling entrapped within an unchangeable societal framework.
