Hooked
Unveiling the Prism: Challenging Binary Realities
Lyrics
I'm hooked
I am captivated or deeply attracted.
On a shape that makes a "u"
Refers to a shape that resembles the letter "u," possibly symbolic of a person or an aspect of life.
You drown me in the ocean
You overwhelm me in a vast and profound way, similar to drowning in an ocean.
Ain't the reason that I'm blue
This is not the cause of my sadness or emotional state.
Oppressed bye-binary worlds
Feeling oppressed by binary (dualistic) perspectives or worlds.
The color is their angle
The perspective or viewpoint is limited and biased.
Acutely boxing pink and blue
Narrowly categorizing things into traditional gender roles (pink and blue).
Infantile labels
Referring to simplistic and immature labels or categories.
Organic is my disbelief
I don't easily believe in conventional or established truths.
Of reality they are the thief
The established reality is stealing or distorting the truth.
Banditos of the night
Mysterious figures of the night disrupting peace.
Come to turn off your light
Arriving to extinguish or disturb your peace.
They say you have anxiety
Others claim you suffer from anxiety.
Indoctrinate with piety
Being taught with a strong sense of religious devotion.
ADD medication
Using medication for Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) to avoid facing challenges in life.
For this herbology evasion
Avoiding facing reality through the use of substances.
I slip and slide right by the truth
I effortlessly move past the truth, avoiding confrontation.
They water down the thoughtful youth
The thoughtful youth are diluted or misled.
The critics of the ages
Critics from different times.
Of this fake news that they gave us
Fake news is given to us, and we are critical of it.
Right or left you must choose
Forced to choose between right and left political ideologies.
They're trumping independent views
Independent views are overshadowed by a powerful force (possibly political).
But I see into the grey
Seeing beyond black and white, understanding complexity.
A miss-tic of the day
A mysterious event or occurrence during the day.
Your thoughts they are your voodoo
Your thoughts have a mystical or magical influence.
You speak just like a guru
You communicate with wisdom and insight.
You've found your inner voice
You have discovered your inner strength or authenticity.
to help you make the choice
Guiding others in making decisions.
Assume responsibility
Taking responsibility for one's actions.
Flex on me your agency
Show me your influence or power.
It's time to take control
Time to assert control over one's life.
Before we let the world go
Acting before the world descends into chaos.
