Lyrics
Been sitting in silence safe inside four walls
Reflecting on a period of isolation and safety within familiar confines.
Trying to remember the moment when we changed the rules
Contemplating the pivotal moment when societal norms were altered.
Do you take to your bed or do you take the cure
Pondering whether to succumb to despair or seek a remedy for challenges.
Been getting out of my head lately that's for sure
Acknowledging recent experiences of losing control or clarity of thought.
So tell me when are we gonna wake the world
Expressing a desire to inspire global awareness and action.
Take a look around to see who's still listening
Observing the surroundings to identify those receptive to the message.
Found them swaddled in lies they find so comforting
Finding people comforted by deceitful narratives, possibly propaganda.
The electric eye will always tell you so
Highlighting the influence of media (electric eye) shaping perceptions.
Don't want the truth around me
Expressing a preference to avoid confronting uncomfortable truths.
No I don't want to know
Rejecting the desire for knowledge that may disrupt the current mindset.
You were right when you were young
Acknowledging correctness in youthful insights or perspectives.
Could you ever see it all come undone
Questioning if the foresight of youth foresaw the unraveling of the world.
You were brave when you were young
Recognizing past courage in facing challenges during youth.
Would you ever believe it could all come undone
Contemplating whether one could have predicted the collapse of circumstances.
Don't want to get to a place I don't recognise
Fearing the prospect of reaching an unfamiliar and disorienting place.
Where we've all bought the world
Warning against a scenario where society collectively embraces false values.
But left with second prize
Expressing dissatisfaction with achieving superficial success.
Dragged down by the words of a hollow song
Feeling burdened by the emptiness conveyed through insincere or meaningless music.
Left in a state of selfish babylon
Describing a state of self-centered chaos and confusion.
