This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
WIRED ON A CORPORATE REALITY
OBSERVING WHAT SOME CALL LIFE I CALL INSANITY WAITING IN LINE FOR A DISH OF PROFANITY
BIDING YOUR TIME
WHAT IS IT THAT YOU SEE
HEAD SPINS SIDEWAYS
MY BRAIN IS BLIND TO YOUR WAYS
TRYING TO ACHEIVE SOME EMOTION
TO SLOWLY COME DOWN
LET ME WAKE IN ANGER
LET ME WAKE IN ANGER
CLONED IS OUR FUTURE ANATOMY
PROCESSED LIVES SEX SET ITS JUST A FACTORY
I NEVER EVER TRULY WANTED TO SEE
ALL THE THINGS YOUVE SHOWN
WHAT IS IT THAT YOU SEE
RED FLAG FLY HIGH
POP INTO A SHELL LIE INSIDE
DESTINED TO BELIEVE DISENGAGE EMOTIONS
TO SLOWLY COME ROUND
LET ME WAKE IN ANGER
LET ME WAKE IN ANGER
LET ME WAKE IN ANGER
LET ME WAKE IN ANGER
LET ME WAKE IN ANGER AND SEE WHAT YOUVE DONE TO MAKE IT ALL FEEL SO REAL
LET ME WAKE IN ANGER AND SEE WHAT YOUVE DONE TO MAKE IT ALL FEEL SO REAL
SO REAL
ITS SO SURREAL,
ITS ALL SO REAL
ITS SO SURREAL,
ITS ALL SO REAL
SHINE LIKE THE SUN ON THE NAKED SEA
DANCE AND FILL YOUR SOUL
WITH THE ENERGY FORGET
NORMALITY SEEMS SO SHY
JUST OUT OF REACH FOR ME
LET ME WAKE IN ANGER
LET ME WAKE IN ANGER
OBSERVING WHAT SOME CALL LIFE I CALL INSANITY WAITING IN LINE FOR A DISH OF PROFANITY
BIDING YOUR TIME
WHAT IS IT THAT YOU SEE
HEAD SPINS SIDEWAYS
MY BRAIN IS BLIND TO YOUR WAYS
TRYING TO ACHEIVE SOME EMOTION
TO SLOWLY COME DOWN
LET ME WAKE IN ANGER
LET ME WAKE IN ANGER
CLONED IS OUR FUTURE ANATOMY
PROCESSED LIVES SEX SET ITS JUST A FACTORY
I NEVER EVER TRULY WANTED TO SEE
ALL THE THINGS YOUVE SHOWN
WHAT IS IT THAT YOU SEE
RED FLAG FLY HIGH
POP INTO A SHELL LIE INSIDE
DESTINED TO BELIEVE DISENGAGE EMOTIONS
TO SLOWLY COME ROUND
LET ME WAKE IN ANGER
LET ME WAKE IN ANGER
LET ME WAKE IN ANGER
LET ME WAKE IN ANGER
LET ME WAKE IN ANGER AND SEE WHAT YOUVE DONE TO MAKE IT ALL FEEL SO REAL
LET ME WAKE IN ANGER AND SEE WHAT YOUVE DONE TO MAKE IT ALL FEEL SO REAL
SO REAL
ITS SO SURREAL,
ITS ALL SO REAL
ITS SO SURREAL,
ITS ALL SO REAL
SHINE LIKE THE SUN ON THE NAKED SEA
DANCE AND FILL YOUR SOUL
WITH THE ENERGY FORGET
NORMALITY SEEMS SO SHY
JUST OUT OF REACH FOR ME
LET ME WAKE IN ANGER
LET ME WAKE IN ANGER
