Thriving in the Illusion: Unveiling the American Dream Machine
Lyrics
Hey hello I'm thrilled to be here
Expressing excitement and happiness about being present
Yes I know some kill to be here
Aware that some people would go to extremes to be in this position
I don't want that powder, nose is bleeding on her dress
Rejecting drugs; referencing a past experience of reckless behavior
I was young and wild as hell
Recalling a wild and youthful past
And I climbed up the ladder well
Successfully progressed in life
Pulse is thumping louder I know now I must confess
Realizing the need to confess something significant
Pills and potions overflowing
Experiencing an abundance of drugs and luxury
Caviar champagne explosions
Extravagant lifestyle involving expensive items and excess
I know it all seems nice take your soul for cover fee
Despite appearances, there's a hidden cost to this lifestyle
Round and round they burn you out
Repetitive cycles of draining energy
They keep you high to keep you down
Using substances to control and suppress
I took the time I thought twice they were never done with me, oh oh
Reflecting on past experiences and realizing they weren't over
But I'm thrilled to be, your american dream machine
Identifying oneself as part of the American dream concept
Yes I'm thrilled to be, your hot sixteen
Feeling empowered and significant at sixteen, possibly referring to the age or a significant phase
Put that in your pipe and smoke it
Challenging someone to accept a harsh truth
Manufacutred why you choking
Criticizing artificiality and its choking impact
Everybody's looking while the room is spinning fast
Observing a chaotic environment while others watch
Call your representative and tell them that you cannot live
Encouraging action against an undignified situation
Undignified and broken now you're truly upper class
Transitioning from a broken state to a perceived elite status
And if in fact I'm incorrect I'm often wrong when I reflect
Admitting to potential inaccuracies while reflecting on the past
On all the things I wanted back I set it all on fire
Destroyed past desires and started anew
Our wishing wells are pharmacies
Comparing desires to pharmacies, possibly indicating addiction
I wish you well too far to see
Wishing well to someone who can't perceive the depth of the situation
Past the emeralds glowing and the cadillac bonfires oh oh
Passing beyond materialistic and extravagant desires
But I'm thrilled to be, your american dream machine
Reiteration of identification with the American dream
Yes I'm thrilled to be, your hot sixteen
Continued empowerment at sixteen
Yes I'm thrilled to be, your american dream machine
Repetitive reaffirmation of being part of the American dream
Yes I'm thrilled to be, your hot sixteen
Continued significance at sixteen
Yes I'm thrilled to be, your american dream machine
Reaffirming the connection to the American dream
Yes I'm thrilled to be, your hot sixteen
Continued empowerment at sixteen
Yes I'm thrilled to be
Repetitive affirmation of being thrilled to be part of something significant
Yes I'm thrilled to be
-Yes I'm thrilled to be
-Yes I'm thrilled to be
