The Endless Feed Lyrics
You try to hide
the fact hidden from yourself
Your own favourite entertainer
is none other than the one we call you
and you need the others to fortify your disgust
for the worst of us, to the rest of us
Entertain the thought that we are still alive
Entertain the notion of impending doom
Entertain our worst suspicions and our fears
Just pull us in and take us down
I hear a mighty cheer
your faith could not be any stronger
in your head the stage is set
a product of what we’re being fed
Oblivious by design
not susceptible to any mind
Entertain the thought that we are still alive
Entertain the notion of impending doom
Entertain our worst suspicions and our fears
Just pull us in and take us down
I can take what’s being given
I can down whatever comes
I will do what you deem necessary
My fear compels me
No more fictitious needs
I will not be made a mockery
No more chaos seed
I am not what you’re supposed to see
Without a sense of danger everything is lost
In the name of entertainment we are doomed
Entertain the thought that we are still alive
Entertain the notion of impending doom
Entertain our worst suspicions and our fears
Just pull us in and take us down
the fact hidden from yourself
Your own favourite entertainer
is none other than the one we call you
and you need the others to fortify your disgust
for the worst of us, to the rest of us
Entertain the notion of impending doom
Entertain our worst suspicions and our fears
Just pull us in and take us down
your faith could not be any stronger
in your head the stage is set
a product of what we’re being fed
not susceptible to any mind
Entertain the notion of impending doom
Entertain our worst suspicions and our fears
Just pull us in and take us down
I can down whatever comes
I will do what you deem necessary
My fear compels me
I will not be made a mockery
No more chaos seed
I am not what you’re supposed to see
In the name of entertainment we are doomed
Entertain the notion of impending doom
Entertain our worst suspicions and our fears
Just pull us in and take us down

Taken from the Live in Montreal bootleg, Mikael says this song is about mass media and all of the BS it feeds us. He announces the song with that message. Here is the full quote: "Alright people we got a really heavy song for you right now, from the Character album ...about the madness of mass media and the fucking stupid amounts of information we're being fed constantly. We don't really like that. This is a song about it, it's called 'The Endless Feed.' "
I love this song. I've always listened to it without questioning it until I finally decided to read the lyrics themselves here.
Dark Tranquility is one of the best Dark Metal bands I've ever heard. What's with the low of popularity here?
Love this song, one of my favorites on Character. Also what is this song really about, entertainment business?
P.S. love the part where it goes :"Oblivious by design..."
The song is asking for us to stop lying to ourselves.
"Your own favourite entertainer is none other than the one we call you" We are deluding ourselves, called in the song 'entertaining', playing on some of the other meanings of the word entertain.
"in your head the stage is set a product of what we’re being fed" Once again, we have been deceiving ourselves. But only, it seems, because of lies in our environment (the media or popular culture perhaps).
The song says that we put too much faith in our self-delusions, and that we must see the truth behind our lies.
As for who the 'I' in stanzas 3, 6 and 7 is, I have no idea. It could possibly be the singer, possibly your conscience, whatever. I'll leave that to someone else.
"Entertain the thought that we are still alive" this line reminds me of KsE's song "alive or just breathing?" meaning we don't live for ourselves anymore, everything is becoming artificial even emotions with all the media mass pollution, drugs, etc. So are we alive? or just a shell thats breathing.
I wish I really knew what this song was about... its my favorite on the album. All I can get is from the first verse, and the chorus. Basically what I think it means is that people are so focused on themselves anymore and don't "entertain the fact that" other people are still alive. Once it gets to the second verse I have no clue what its about :/. And that epic bridge.... I dont get it at all :(
