Another Boredom Movement
Rising from Celebrity's Cradle: Unveiling the Meaning
Lyrics
You were conceived on a storyboard
You originated from a planned narrative, like a character in a story.
In an uptown high-rise
In a luxurious urban building, your existence began.
Where your celebrity was born
This is where your fame was initiated.
From umbilical obscurity
Your celebrity status emerged from relative obscurity.
And the list keeps growing
The number of things associated with you continues to increase.
And our ears keep bleeding
We are continually exposed to unpleasant sounds.
And the masses keep begging for more
The masses keep demanding more from you.
And your screams keep coming
Your cries or expressions persist.
And the units keep moving
The sales or popularity of your work continue to rise.
And the masses keep begging for more
The masses still crave more from you.
The grins of your puppeteers are beaming
The creators behind you are delighted because set targets will be achieved.
Because the quotas will be made
If production quotas are met, your time in the limelight will continue.
Or your time in the spotlight will fade
Otherwise, your fame will diminish, controlled by the same manipulative forces that brought you to fame.
At the hands of the same pigs that made you
You are at the mercy of those who initially created you, likely with negative intentions.
So speak of movements
Talk about social or cultural movements, but the real goal is to sell more.
To move more units
The purpose of these movements is to increase sales or popularity.
And invent brand name for your “believers”
Create a recognizable identity for your followers, like branding slaves.
Like brands on slaves
Comparing the branding of followers to the way slaves were branded.
We'll still be waiting for something stimulating
We are still waiting for something intellectually or emotionally stimulating.
Because in the end all you sold us was boredom
Ultimately, all you provided us was a sense of boredom.
