Lyrics

Stuck in a rat race

Feeling trapped in a competitive and unfulfilling lifestyle

And dying for things you don't even need

Experiencing the consequences of pursuing unnecessary desires


Pop another pill to drain the pain

Using substances to cope with emotional pain

It's just another regression

Seeing the reliance on pills as a backward step


Sink in a bottle of tomorrow

Seeking solace in alcohol, but finding emptiness

There's nothing here to feel my friend

Feeling a lack of genuine emotions or connections


I don't want to know

Choosing ignorance about the harsh reality

What it really means

Avoiding understanding the true meaning of freedom

To be free from this

Expressing a desire to break free from the current situation

Temporary fix

Referring to temporary solutions that don't provide lasting relief


Hey now, I'm anti-social media

Rejecting or disliking the influence of social media

Hey now, just walk away from everything

Choosing to distance oneself from various aspects of life

Hey you, you're working to live and die

Commenting on the cyclical nature of working for survival


Watching life through an iPhone

Criticizing the detached perspective gained through technology

It's such a way to live my friend

Recognizing the superficiality of a technology-centric life


Driven by junk values

Being guided by superficial and valueless principles

A hollow sense of worth that you've become

Experiencing a lack of genuine self-worth and purpose


I don't want to know

Avoiding understanding the true meaning of freedom (repeated)

What it really means

Choosing ignorance about the harsh reality (repeated)

To be free from this

Expressing a desire to break free from the current situation (repeated)

Temporary fix

Referring to temporary solutions that don't provide lasting relief (repeated)


Hey now, I'm anti-social media

Rejecting or disliking the influence of social media (repeated)

Hey now, just walk away from everything

Choosing to distance oneself from various aspects of life (repeated)

Hey you, you're working to live and die

Commenting on the cyclical nature of working for survival (repeated)


Welcome to the new machine

Introducing a metaphorical "new machine" that distracts from moral values

Designed to make you forget what's right

Highlighting the machine's purpose of making people forget what is morally right


I'll tell you what you really need

Asserting that genuine needs are minimal or non-existent

There's nothing really that's meaningful

Emphasizing the lack of meaningful aspects in life
