| Daft Punk – The Brainwasher Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Television rules the nation deals with the media as a whole being brainwashers, reprogramming the people like they're machines (but we are Human After All, of course), while I actually think Daft Punk are acknowleding their part in the media. In other words, they're talking about themselves. If you ask me though, it sounds like the Brainwasher is talking to himself as well, which makes it seem like he's repeating a mantra, a form of self hypnotism. Might as well also throw out that technologic is supposed to represent the "new programming." The album as a whole deals with themes of fear, paranoia, and despair, all focused on what separates us from being machines, and the forces that would like to treat us as machines. |
