Dance To The Song Of Apathy Lyrics
Let's walk in a line
Let's do what the person in front of us does
Believe in what he believes
Let's forget our identity
So that we can assume no responsibility
For our lives
And the choices that we make
Or never make
Let us become one
With the bloodless crowds
Consequently, let us throw away our lives
"Where are you leading me?"
"Where are you leading me?"
The leader you follow is a follower too
In a round dance gone astray!
There's no beginning and there is no end to it
Join the round dance to the song of apathy
(Not fully awake... sleepwalk hand in hand)
You could have been a god
But we are keeping each other in place
Cling to the hand in front of us
To the submissive we submit
And we assume no responsibility
For our lives
And the choices that we make
Or never make
Let us become one...
Your future is doomed
If you only do what you're expected to
Depart from the beaten track
Maybe the blind will see
But follow neither you nor me
They'll refuse to dance to the song of apathy
So, where are you leading me?
The leader you follow is a follower too...
Let's do what the person in front of us does
Believe in what he believes
Let's forget our identity
So that we can assume no responsibility
For our lives
And the choices that we make
Or never make
With the bloodless crowds
Consequently, let us throw away our lives
"Where are you leading me?"
In a round dance gone astray!
There's no beginning and there is no end to it
Join the round dance to the song of apathy
(Not fully awake... sleepwalk hand in hand)
But we are keeping each other in place
Cling to the hand in front of us
To the submissive we submit
And we assume no responsibility
For our lives
And the choices that we make
Or never make
If you only do what you're expected to
Depart from the beaten track
Maybe the blind will see
But follow neither you nor me
They'll refuse to dance to the song of apathy
This song is about individualism, and how it seems to be lost in our age. In order to take the easy way out of life, we simply try to be like everyone else so we can be accepted by everyone, in fear of being scrutinized for our own beliefs.
On another note, I find the lyrics to this song to be pretty funny.
Musically this isn't the most likeable song of this album, but it certainly has great lyrics! (like the others as well anyway)
