On In Five Lyrics
Force-fed on a hunger strike
Tag them dead before you focus in
Spoon feed the impact that you leave us with
Bring denial with a worldwide expansion team
Brand so deep into our minds
That it soon becomes our history
And image that's been marketed well
On the assembly line of our lives
Shut it down before it ever starts
Turn on
To the weakness we've been raised upon
(We'll turn you off again)
You've written up all the answers
We've followed them word for word
Disguised as our own subconscious
Defining our wrongs and rights
No more working on the strings you've made us
Drive the stake into your hardened hearts
We're done begging for the scraps you throw us
We'll take the truth and our lives
Shut it down before it ever starts
Turn on
To the weakness we've been raised upon
(We'll turn you off again)
Investigate and drain us
We've found you out regaining
All the knowledge that you hid
You are no longer needed
We'll keep our own hearts beating
Against the pulse that you denied
Demand it back
Our lives our minds you stole them
Nothing else will quench the hunger that will turn you off
And certify that we are
Free to find our own truth without you
This is not a test
This is not a test
Yes it has come to this
This is not a test
Spoon feed the impact that you leave us with
Bring denial with a worldwide expansion team
Brand so deep into our minds
That it soon becomes our history
And image that's been marketed well
On the assembly line of our lives
Turn on
To the weakness we've been raised upon
(We'll turn you off again)
We've followed them word for word
Disguised as our own subconscious
Defining our wrongs and rights
No more working on the strings you've made us
Drive the stake into your hardened hearts
We're done begging for the scraps you throw us
We'll take the truth and our lives
Turn on
To the weakness we've been raised upon
(We'll turn you off again)
We've found you out regaining
All the knowledge that you hid
You are no longer needed
We'll keep our own hearts beating
Against the pulse that you denied
Our lives our minds you stole them
Nothing else will quench the hunger that will turn you off
And certify that we are
Free to find our own truth without you
This is not a test
Yes it has come to this
This is not a test

Pretty obvious- its about the mainstream media and how they dictate the majority of the "information" the public gets. Nathan challanges the listener to do some investigating to arrive at "our own truth without you (the media)" Cant get any clearer.
nothing to add. Definitely a song about massmedia which is presented as a manipulating person in this song (-->You). If the song didn't have the name "On In Five" it coull also be about manipulation itself but i thing the name indicates that it is about media.
btw the hidden song rocks!!
omg so many spelling mistakes in less than five sentences...
shame on me
