Unveiling the Veil: 26 Inches of Deception and Control
Lyrics
Everybody wants total control
Desire for absolute control is a common human trait.
Hide all the things they don't want you to know
Hiding information that goes against their interests is a common practice.
Don't ask, just do as your told, yeah
Emphasizes blind obedience without questioning.
They'll tell you lies like it's truth that they spoke
Deceptive messages presented as truth.
Heard it before, yeah we reap what we sow
Reaping consequences of actions is a recurring theme.
Hang you to dry, leave you out in the cold
Abandoning or betraying others when things get tough.
Got you held by the strings that they pull
Manipulation and control through unseen forces.
And just like the devil, yeah they're buying your souls
Comparing manipulators to the devil, exploiting others for personal gain.
Nobody will admit they can't open their eyes
People refuse to acknowledge their lack of awareness.
Never see the faces of the one's controlling their lives
Being oblivious to those who control and influence one's life.
We always let them in its just a matter of time
Allowing manipulative individuals into our lives over time.
Snakes in a field of grass that's 26" high
Metaphor of deceitful individuals (snakes) in a seemingly innocent environment (field of grass).
Seems all we do is grow further from peace
Continued distancing from peace as a collective human experience.
Casting our stones at who disagree
Criticism and hostility towards those with differing opinions.
Some call for help but the hate the police
Distrust and dislike towards authority figures like the police.
Think you can stand but you're down on your knees
Feeling strong but actually vulnerable and submissive.
And in the end we all know where we'll be
Reflecting on mortality and the inevitability of death.
Buried in dirt no less than six feet
Visualizing death and burial as a common destiny.
Convince ourselves of a deeper meaning
Self-delusion regarding life's deeper meaning.
But we're all just flesh out walking the streets
Human existence reduced to mere flesh wandering the streets.
Nobody will admit they can't open their eyes
Reiteration of people's unwillingness to see the truth.
Never see the faces of the one's controlling their lives
Blindness to the true controllers of one's life.
We always let them in its just a matter of time
Repeated pattern of allowing manipulators into our lives.
Snakes in a field of grass that's 26" high
Reinforcing the metaphor of deceitful individuals in a seemingly innocent environment.
Nobody will admit they can't open their eyes
Reiteration of people's unwillingness to see the truth.
Never see the faces of the one's controlling their lives
Blindness to the true controllers of one's life.
We always let them in its just a matter of time
Repeated pattern of allowing manipulators into our lives.
Snakes in a field of grass that's 26" high
Reinforcing the metaphor of deceitful individuals in a seemingly innocent environment.
