ROME IS BURNING
Unmasking the Illusions: Rome's Silent Inferno
Lyrics
We always change in size and shape
We undergo constant changes in our form and size.
So many faces we wear and fake
We wear and display numerous deceptive faces.
What do you see through the smoke and mirrors?
What do you perceive through the deception and illusion?
What can you see when we pull the trigger?
What becomes visible when we take decisive actions?
Now we speak in secret tongues
We communicate in hidden and mysterious languages.
Rogue firewalls and data clouds
Using unconventional barriers and digital storage.
Flagless soldiers with no anthems
Soldiers without flags, lacking national anthems.
Departed shadows amongst the crowd
Shadows that have departed among the masses.
We keep running, non-stop buzzing
We persistently move forward, consistently buzzing with activity.
No one grasps what no one’s planning
No one comprehends what nobody is plotting or scheming.
We share the views, surf on the news
We share perspectives, navigating through information in the media.
We don’t have a blazing clue
We lack a clear understanding or awareness.
We play arty, we crash parties
We engage in sophisticated or artistic activities, crashing social gatherings.
Find it funny, we’re uncanny
Find amusement in situations, displaying an eerie strangeness.
While we mingle, while we’re fighting
While we socialize, simultaneously engaged in conflicts.
While we fiddle, Rome is burning
While we procrastinate, the symbolic Rome is deteriorating.
Mimic your peers to emulate
Imitate others to fit in, showcasing a conventional lifestyle.
A normal life and demonstrate
Live a regular life to illustrate and prove.
How you adapt in this rat race
Adapting to the competitive nature of life.
And deep inside you know it’s fake
Recognizing internally the artificiality of it all.
Here we are in the land of the free
In the supposed land of freedom.
For which we stand, ‘cause we believe
Standing for beliefs in freedom.
It our right to maintain solutions
Considering it our right to maintain solutions or answers.
It is alright to maintain illusions
Accepting the presence of illusions as permissible.
We keep running, non-stop buzzing
We persistently move forward, consistently buzzing with activity (repeated).
No one grasps what no one’s planning
No one comprehends what nobody is plotting or scheming (repeated).
We share the views, surf on the news
We share perspectives, navigating through information in the media (repeated).
We don’t have a blazing clue
We lack a clear understanding or awareness (repeated).
We play arty, we crash parties
We engage in sophisticated or artistic activities, crashing social gatherings (repeated).
Find it funny, we’re uncanny
Find amusement in situations, displaying an eerie strangeness (repeated).
While we mingle, while we’re fighting
While we socialize, simultaneously engaged in conflicts (repeated).
While we fiddle, Rome is burning
While we procrastinate, the symbolic Rome is deteriorating (repeated).
