Lyrics
So what is this so-so-society?
Questioning the nature of society and its mediocrity
Still drinking that Kool-Aid like it's free
Criticizing blind conformity or acceptance of flawed ideologies
Still popping that poison blow blow blow
Referring to the consumption of destructive substances or habits
Political, you know how it goes
Highlighting the political nature of the world and its complexities
Is this dystopia?
Repetition emphasizing a questioning tone about a dystopian reality
Is this dystopia?
-Is this dystopia?
-Is this dystopia?
-Fame is the bait
Exploring the allure of fame, the consequences, and the passage of time
(And the switch is the look in your eye)
-What will you ask?
-(While we wait for the past to arrive)
-Fame is the bait
-(And the switch is your head in the sand)
-Time that we waste
-(While we wait for the future to land)
-Die happy
Connecting happiness and death, possibly reflecting a fleeting joy
In the summertime
-So happy
-I could die
-This city is thick with common thieves
Observing a city plagued by dishonesty and questioning its leadership
Still passing around the same disease
-Who's running this town and why are we?
-Still drinking that Kool-Aid like it's free
-In this dystopia
Repetition reinforcing the theme of living in a dystopian world
In this dystopia
-In this dystopia
-In this dystopia
-Fame is the bait
Continuing the exploration of fame, its pitfalls, and time's passage
(And the switch is the look in your eye)
-What will you ask?
-(While we wait for the past to arrive)
-Fame is the bait
-(And the switch is your head in the sand)
-Time that we waste
-(While we wait for the future to land)
-Fame is the bait
Examining the deceptive nature of fame and the investment in relationships
(And the switch is your desolate smile)
-If I need it
-(Though we shelter the thing for a while)
-Fame is the bait
-(And the switch is the touch of your hand)
-Time that we waste
-(While we wait for the future to land)
-Die happy
Reiteration of the connection between happiness and death
In the summertime
-So happy
-I could die
-Die happy
-In the summertime
-So happy
-I could die
-Duh duh duh duh duh
Repeating the phrase "Die happy" with musical emphasis
Die happy
-Duh duh duh duh duh
-Die happy
-Duh duh duh duh duh
-Die happy
-Duh duh duh duh duh
-Die happy
-Duh duh duh duh duh
Continued repetition, possibly emphasizing the inevitability of death
Die happy
-Duh duh duh duh duh
-Die happy
-Duh duh duh duh duh
-Die happy
-Duh duh duh duh duh
