Let's fake an answer for the curious,
Let's fake it all for the fame.
They'll think delivering was easy,
Living the fairy tales and the lies, lies
Message from Opticon
Blast from the Fashion Bomb
So helpless,
guess what you're out of... time
New alien spawn
We reinvent the dawn
And no one's style compares
Those neon eyes
Make mom and dad think
that we've lost our minds
They're just terrified of all new things
Opticon is here to lead us
Opticon is in control
So quick to change us
And imitate us

opticon is the media, & it's talking about how the industry tries to mold artists into what they think is good to make more money read it again, you'll see ;)
I think it's more about the youth influenced by TV and media. They tell them how to dress, what to do, where to go, etc. "Opticon" will be a word to resume "T.V., radios, magazines, etc". The kids imitate the people they watch on all this stuffs (So quick to change us and imitate us). If the parents don't give kids education, they become like this. And then the parents got scared about his children using piercings and weird haircuts. (Those neon eyes make mom and dad think that we've lost our minds. They're just terrified of all new things). Anyway... AWESOME SONG!!!!!!!!
Opticon is possibly derived from the Panopticon which was a design for a prison system where by one person could see all the prisoners without being seen and eventually the mere idea of being watched would control them thus negating the need for even one person to watch, its about how fashion or anything like that is a control mechanism we are seeing things and conforming to it without question and for no real decent reason. Fashion is the guard in the tower watching us the prisoners of society and we are willingly being a part of it.
I think this one is about how something as simple (or complicated) as "Opticon" can lead and take over one's mind. Hence, "Opticon is here to lead us / Opticon is in control."
"opticon" is like a new god... it controls your mind but you dont care. Maybe opticon stands for something else...
Maybe Opticon is our new God...as said by Opticon is here to lead us. I got the meaning of Opticon is our perception(if we were in a cult) and also the leader.
This song sounds very industrial. It reminds me of the corporate failure Enron (it's monopolization, domination, and eventual bankrupcy)
i dont tin
Opticon is about the way Orgy dresses, their style and how people might jump to conclusions about how they dress (mainly their sexuality).
I always got the idea that this song is about style and fashion and how it seems to rule our lives. "here to lead us" is just one of the many faces that style hides behind. The media, as digitalstitches said, is part of it too. Shaping people's minds, the Britney Spears image etc. Ah well, she sucks and Orgy doesn't.
