Life Support Addiction Lyrics
Somewhere along the line we lost.
Individuality paid the cost.
Close enough to inhale the security but as always to far away.
We breed upon culture sickness and we made this rule into our own.
Silently sedated, our minds fly out the window.
Our emotions suffocate.
Suppress the essence of...
Your beautiful independent Friday-night dress.
Wash away the fear and insecurity.
This substitute kills the freedom and cut the wounds wide open.
A glimpse caught the sense and now you're content in slowly fading.
The familiar escape.
The alternative to nothing.
The familiar escape.
The alternative to nothing.
Silently sedated, our minds fly out the window.
Our emotions suffocate.
Suppress the essence of...
Reminded to die - life support addiction.
Watch your love slip through your hands.
Silently sedated, our minds fly out the windows.
Our emotions suffocate.
Suppress the essence of...
Individuality paid the cost.
Close enough to inhale the security but as always to far away.
Our emotions suffocate.
Suppress the essence of...
Your beautiful independent Friday-night dress.
Wash away the fear and insecurity.
This substitute kills the freedom and cut the wounds wide open.
The familiar escape.
The alternative to nothing.
The familiar escape.
The alternative to nothing.
Our emotions suffocate.
Suppress the essence of...
Watch your love slip through your hands.
Our emotions suffocate.
Suppress the essence of...

This song fucking rocks. Refused had a real message to tell, rather than the bullshit we're contantly exposed to, be it through school or television or popular opinion.
I believe this song is about our inept instinct to follow the "norm", simple as that may sound. We are "silently sedated", numb to our own individuality; our emotions suffocate beneath the dominant mindsets of the ignorant power figures who surround, control and manipulate us in our thoughts and actions. We have no choice, an alternative to nothing, since when we raise our voices we are shunned and humiliated while smiling conformists glad-hand fellow weak-willed individuals. In the end, it is the comfort in the realization that we will all someday die that makes the day worth getting out of bed for. We are ruled by the instinct to prolong life (our "love"); although it is ludicrous and childish to follow the herd, it is necessary to do so in order to assuredly lengthen our influence and existence within our tradition-based society. Refused is saying that we are already dead, yet ironically it is life that pushes our dead existence forward. Hence, life support addiction.
This song is about how ppl need to do drugs, party, watch porno movies, play the lotto, etc to fill a void in their lives. Its an addiction for ppl. Millions spent on all these things until u just fade away. Its about how in school u learn to be what we are expected to become and how it kills creativity and passion by trying to make everyone alike. Make sure you dont look or act different. Mainly its about how many things in the world tempt u to be the same as everyone else and it becomes a life support addiction.
I agree with you completely ballpark, that's a great interpretation of the song.
i love refused and hate school
