about

A song about the complexity of life.

lyrics

What you see is what you wanna see,
you're polluted with a tendency for catastrophe.
Bound to the insights shown on TV
you believe in every foolish tinfoil hat theory.

Everybody plays the same record of a life,
self-fulfillment by distrust in others becomes rife,
you care just about number one in this strife
backstabbing the ones that weren't aware of your knife

Told to consume, told to possess
we often forget the people struggling for less
Ignorance fuels the expansion of this mess
social competence is in the sequel in regress.

I think we must hurry up identifying the lie
planted to our brains like some maggots of a fly
stupefied by morals that do consciously deny
we are mature enough to modify

Our lives depend on our reason
but do occur without cause
Ideals may change like the season
This is how life goes by.
Our lives depend on emotions
but are surrounded by cold
breeding those preconceived notions
oversimplified

Life's already crabbed by design,
there's no need for further confinin'.
Disengage now, build up your spine,
this is your being, this is our time.
Life's already crabbed by design,
there's no need for further confinin'.
Disengage now, build up your spine,
Nullify!

Our lives depend on our reason
but do occur without cause
Ideals may change like the season
This is how life goes by.
Our lives depend on emotions
but are surrounded by cold
breeding those preconceived notions
oversimplified

What you see is what you wanna see,
you're polluted with a tendency for brutality.
Clustered by the scenes you played on your PC
you can't distinguish between real life and virtuality.

We must hurry up to self-awarely defy
distractions from the simple system that is live and die.
be aware that no matter how high you'd ever fly,
reality can turn your truth into a lie
Into a lie, into a lie, into a lie
Into a lie, into a lie, into a lie
and this is just oversimplified.
