Redline
Breaking Chains: Unmasking the Illusion of Control in Maya Over Eyes' 'Redline'
Lyrics
Detaches from ourselves our lives
Detaching from our own lives, distancing ourselves.
Keep us blind and straight in line
Being kept unaware and obedient, following a predetermined path.
Force obedience into our minds
Imposing obedience forcefully on our thoughts.
Take control of all mankind
Attempting to take control over all of humanity.
We have been infected with fear and segregation
Humans are influenced by fear and division.
Do not be fooled into manipulation stay in control
Warning against manipulation, advocating for self-control.
We are standing on the front lines
Being at the forefront of a struggle or conflict.
Paying the consequences for your mistakes
Facing consequences for mistakes, possibly societal or political.
We are standing on the front lines paying for you
Enduring consequences on the front lines for others' actions.
A lot of promises made
Many promises made, but not fulfilled.
But your words never hold their value
Words lacking sincerity or reliability.
You've let us down too many times before
Repeated letdowns from those in power.
How can we trust you now
Raising doubts about trust due to past failures.
Is this coincidence or have we fallen victim
Questioning if current circumstances are coincidental or planned victimization.
To a system designed to oppress us
Suspecting a system designed to oppress and control.
Let's wake up tomorrow's looking grim
Expressing a sense of urgency, a grim outlook for the future.
Soon there won't be hope for the future
Fearing a loss of hope in the future.
We know what lies ahead
Awareness of the challenges lying ahead.
A self destructive destiny
Anticipating a destructive path for humanity.
But we choose to turn the other way
Choosing to ignore the grim reality for the sake of comfort.
Because the truth is too hard to accept
Acknowledging a difficulty in accepting the harsh truth.
These myths will become reality
Expecting that current beliefs or misconceptions will become reality.
But until then we'll keep living
Choosing to live despite the challenges, holding onto hope.
With signs of Hope on our face
Maintaining optimism despite facing difficulties.
