Saddest Song
Unveiling Society's Masks: No Use for a Name's 'Saddest Song' Reflections
Lyrics
What's wrong with everyone?
Questioning the collective behavior of people
There's a panic in their eyes
Observing fear or anxiety in their expressions
Like others getting close are aliens, in disguise
Perceiving suspicion towards those who get close
They smell conspiracy on the lips of dearest friends
Sensing a belief in conspiracy among close friends
Reminds me of a time long ago,
Reflecting on a past time with similar concerns
They think it's the end
Feeling a sense of impending doom in the current situation
Of what we all created, used to love but now we hate it
Expressing disillusionment with a creation turned into hatred
Life is as simple as the mind it lives in
Philosophizing that life is as simple as the mind perceives
The truth is a waste of time, when we're conditioned to understand
Believing that truth is disregarded when conditioned to understand
Lies are the right way as we watch the blind leading the blind
Commenting on the prevalence of lies and blind leadership
Everything that we see is another's suffering
Noticing that what is observed involves others' suffering
Learn to enjoy the message your TV is delivering
Suggesting finding pleasure in the media's messages
You're safe behind the glass, like being at the zoo
Feeling protected from reality, akin to observing animals at a zoo
The face of guilty thoughts turns around and looks just like you
Realizing that guilty thoughts resemble one's own reflection
Don't want to be another victim but you watch them suffer
Expressing reluctance to be a victim while witnessing suffering
Organized, desensitised and trained
Describing a society that is organized, desensitized, and trained
To wake up at 6 AM, go to work come back and in bed by ten
Portraying a routine life, from waking up early to going to bed
When the feeling is safe and warm
Finding comfort in familiarity but fearing change
Horrified by any change, living by consensus destroys us
Arguing that living by consensus destroys individuality
Paints pretty pictures at the same time will do us more harm
Highlighting the dual nature of seemingly harmless actions
