Cattle
Breaking Free: Unveiling the Subtle Messages in Futuro Incierto's 'Cattle'
Lyrics
It crossed my head again
Reflecting on a recurring thought
As I stood in line they would do anything to not let us decide
Perceiving efforts to manipulate decisions while waiting in line
They make us think the choice is in our hands like it is our hands
Noticing a deceptive portrayal that the choice is within individual control
They give us bread and circus, they give us shiny stuff
Receiving distractions and superficial rewards to appease
We don't wanna be free
Expressing a reluctance to embrace freedom
We kinda like this life
Preferring the comfort of the current lifestyle
They make us move like cattle, they give us all we need
Being directed and controlled like cattle, provided with necessities
We don't wanna be free
Reiterating a desire not to pursue freedom
Until we die
Commitment to this perspective until death
Can't help but realize
Realizing an unavoidable truth
I love my TV set
Expressing affection for a television set
I think it is the best thing I will ever get
Believing the TV to be the best possession
It shows me things that keep me entertainet and keep away the pain
Acknowledging the TV's role in providing entertainment and escape from pain
They give us bread and circus, they give us shiny stuff
Receiving distractions and superficial rewards to appease (repeated)
We don't wanna be free
Expressing a reluctance to embrace freedom (repeated)
We kinda like this life
Preferring the comfort of the current lifestyle (repeated)
They make us move like cattle, they give us all we need
Being directed and controlled like cattle, provided with necessities (repeated)
We don't wanna be free
Reiterating a desire not to pursue freedom (repeated)
Until we die
Commitment to this perspective until death (repeated)
They give us bread and circus, they give us shiny stuff
Receiving distractions and superficial rewards to appease (repeated)
We don't wanna be free
Expressing a reluctance to embrace freedom (repeated)
We kinda like this life
Preferring the comfort of the current lifestyle (repeated)
They make us move like cattle, they give us all we need
Being directed and controlled like cattle, provided with necessities (repeated)
We don't wanna be free
Reiterating a desire not to pursue freedom (repeated)
Until we die
Commitment to this perspective until death (repeated)
