The Charade
Unmasking the Charade: Revealing the Deeper Meaning
Lyrics
Foolers fool the sheep
Foolers deceive the gullible
The jesters on the screen
Jesters portrayed on media
You are one of them
You are part of the deception
And so am I, my dear
We are both participants in the deception
And so am I, my dear
Reiteration of our shared involvement
None will have your pain
No one will experience your suffering
But all will have your tears
Everyone will share your sorrow
Scared of diving far too deep
Fearful of delving too deeply into reality
With deeper hunger, still wanting more
Despite a profound hunger, the desire for more persists
So we feed and get fed
We consume and are consumed
And we follow, follow their lead
We obediently follow their example
And we play this charade
We engage in a pretense or deceptive act
And we breath though we're dead
We continue living a life devoid of true meaning
White, the teeth that spark
The appearance of happiness conceals the truth
Our faces bright and clear
Our expressions are optimistic and evident
Read the lines beneath my eyes
Look beyond superficial signs for genuine emotions
To know what's really real
Understanding reality requires deeper insight
To know what's real
Reiteration of the importance of discerning reality
So we feed and get fed
We engage in the cycle of consumption and imitation
And we follow, follow their lead
We obediently emulate their actions
And we play this charade
We participate in this deceptive performance
And we breath
We continue living despite the lack of authenticity
Though we know
Despite awareness of the truth
What we know we know
Acknowledging our knowledge
Who will stay and take the blame
Who will take responsibility and face consequences
Make a stand and loose their name
Stand up for principles at the cost of identity
Will they judge you all the same
Will they judge without understanding
(who's to say what's insane?)
Raising questions about societal definitions of sanity
Will you stay and take the blame
Choosing accountability and risking reputation
Make a stand and choose your name
Take a stand and define your own identity
They will judge you all the same
Anticipating judgment regardless of choices
(who's insane?)
Questioning societal perceptions of insanity
Who will stay and take the blame
Repeat of the theme of taking responsibility
Make a stand and loose their name
Reiterating the importance of principles over identity
Will they judge you all the same
Anticipating societal judgment
(who's to say what's insane?)
Raising questions about societal definitions of sanity
Will you stay and take the blame
Choosing accountability and defining one's own name
Make a stand and choose your name
Take a stand and shape your identity
They will judge you all the same
Expecting judgment regardless of choices made
So we feed and get fed
We continue the cycle of consumption and imitation
And we follow, follow their lead
We obediently follow their example
And we play this charade
We engage in a pretense or deceptive act
And we breath
We continue living a life devoid of true meaning
Though we know what we know
Reiteration of the awareness of our knowledge
