Propaganda
Defying Conformity: Unmasking the Message of Extinction A.D.'s 'Propaganda'
Lyrics
Why don't you get a life and grow up
Challenging someone to mature and face reality.
Why don't you realize that you're fucked up
Pointing out the person's own flaws or issues.
Why criticize what you don't understand
Criticizing others without understanding them.
Why change my words, you're so afraid
Accusing someone of distorting their words out of fear.
You think you have the right to put me down
Asserting that the person has no right to demean the speaker.
Propaganda hides your scum
Referring to the idea that misleading information conceals the person's flaws.
Face to face, you don't have a word to say
Confrontation where the person is unable to respond.
You got in my way, now you'll have to pay
Suggesting consequences for interfering.
Don't, don't believe what you see
Advising against blindly accepting visual information.
Don't, don't believe what you read
Advising against believing everything one reads.
No!
An emphatic rejection or disagreement.
I know my way, I'm here to stay
Expressing confidence and determination to persist.
I didn't start all this yesterday
Asserting that the speaker has been present and committed for a while.
I'll prove you wrong all the way
Commitment to proving others wrong despite challenges.
Life teaches me you're always alone
Reflecting on the isolating nature of life's lessons.
Don't, don't believe what you see
Reiterating skepticism about visual information.
Don't, don't believe what read
Reiterating skepticism about written information.
No!
A firm and emphatic rejection or disagreement.
I, I, I..............
An unfinished expression, possibly denoting frustration or intensity.
