Plague Song
Plague Chronicles: Society's Descent into Madness
Lyrics
We're starting to slide down slippery slopes
We are beginning to descend down dangerous paths.
Little lemmings, led by a dope
People, like lemmings, are blindly following a foolish leader.
They ate a bat in their soup
Refers to the controversial theory that the COVID-19 virus originated from eating a bat.
Don't you know
Emphasizing the lack of awareness or knowledge.
They're sick in the head
They have disturbed mental states.
But that's how it goes
Despite the grim situation, it's the unfortunate reality.
Sick in the head
Reiteration of the disturbed mental state, expressing a desire to witness their suffering.
Sick in the head
-I wanna watch em all
Expressing a morbid wish for the demise of those responsible.
Cough til their dead
-They made it in a lab
Suggesting a belief that the virus was intentionally created in a laboratory.
Made it in a lab yeah
-It's all part of their master plan
Implies a belief in a sinister plan behind the pandemic.
Is this the end of all we know
Contemplation on whether current events signify the end of the familiar.
All of the cracks and flaws
-Start to show
Noting the emergence of societal problems.
We sing a plague song
Introducing the concept of a "plague song" sung for the deceased.
For the dead
-Watch our society
Observing society's collapse.
Fall on its head
-Society fills its rapid pace
Commentary on the rapid pace of society and the feeling of stagnation.
Running in place
-Running in place
-Nothing feels real any more
Expressing a sense of detachment and numbness.
I can't feel my face
-I can't feel my face
-Disassociation
Describing disassociation as a coping mechanism.
A much needed vacation
-From this rapid pacing
Yearning for relief from the relentless pace and strain.
Too much strain
-Pull release on this drain
-We've all lost the game
Reflecting on collective failure and the descent into insanity.
Now we're going insane
-Going insane
-Is this the end of all we know
Repeating the contemplation on societal collapse and flaws.
All of the cracks and flaws
-Start to show
-We sing a plague song
Reiteration of singing for the dead in the face of societal breakdown.
For the dead
-Watch our society
Reaffirmation of watching society fall into chaos.
Fall on its head
-Sick in the head
Repetition of the desire to witness the suffering and demise of those perceived as responsible.
Sick in the head
-I wanna watch em all
-Cough til they're dead
Reiterating the morbid wish for others to succumb to illness.
