3D Lyrics
Sugar-coated white lies can only get you so far
Before you get caught up in the middle and
I'm a human too
My life has value
And everybody will think the same
Good morning, time to wake up
Sugar-coated white lies, in the middle
If this is a lie then what am I?
Now I'm standing on my rooftop
I sure could use someone to talk to
Someone to make it alright
'Cause I'm done pretending
Sugar-coated white lies can only get you so far
Before you get caught up in the middle and
I'm a human too
My life has value
And everybody will think the same
I never thought that I would live to see
Everyone and me struggling to breathe
If this is a lie then what am I?
When the power of love
Exceeds the love for power
The world will finally, finally know peace
They'll fight for the center of the universe with the sun
You're trapped in your tube and blind from the truth
This is the future that's in store for you
Sugar-coated white lies can only get you so far
Before you get caught up in the middle and
I'm a human too
My life has value
And everybody will think the same
And sugar-coated white lies can only get you so far
Before you get caught up in the middle and
I'm a human too
My life has value
And everybody will think the same
This is the portrait the man behind the curtain
Has painted for you
As long as you choose to be separate
You leave yourselves completely enslaved
Before you get caught up in the middle and
I'm a human too
My life has value
And everybody will think the same
Sugar-coated white lies, in the middle
If this is a lie then what am I?
Now I'm standing on my rooftop
I sure could use someone to talk to
Someone to make it alright
'Cause I'm done pretending
Before you get caught up in the middle and
I'm a human too
My life has value
And everybody will think the same
Everyone and me struggling to breathe
If this is a lie then what am I?
Exceeds the love for power
The world will finally, finally know peace
You're trapped in your tube and blind from the truth
This is the future that's in store for you
Before you get caught up in the middle and
I'm a human too
My life has value
And everybody will think the same
Before you get caught up in the middle and
I'm a human too
My life has value
And everybody will think the same
Has painted for you
As long as you choose to be separate
You leave yourselves completely enslaved

xBeforeBreathing is the closest to being right. If you've ever seen the documentary ZEITGEIST, it talks about how the government is lying to us about 9/11 and so forth.
"My life has value."
"When the power of love Exceeds the love for power The world will finally know peace."
"This is the portrait the man behind the curtain has painted for you"
Those quotes are from the movie, I'm not positive about the last one though. It is about how fucked our world is right now. How set up everything is.
I advise that everyone see that documentary. It's worth your time.
wow your stupid, jesus christ, "They'll fight for the sinner of God Universe with a sign You're tripping your dues, blood from a child This is the future and it's time for you." .....are u def? maybe you need a hearing aid, "its they fight for the center of the universe with the sun, your trapped in your tubes, blind from the truth, this is the future thats in store for you"
This song is about how the media (television, magazines, etc.) feeds us lies and/or forces us to believe things that aren't necessarily true. It also goes into depth on how every individual should have their own rights and purposes even if they aren't as well known as the people you see on your screens.
what?!?! no comments? awwh i love this band like a mix between the devil wears prada and the medic droid...weird but great annd im not sure of the meaning though.. :/ still sad no one has commented this song
Ok 3 months later and yes im still up set there's comments on this amazing song! Whatever..I've come back to tell my thoughts on the meaning of the song...and I've concluded that its about a guy that thinks he's in a good relationship, but really his girlfriend is lying and probably cheating and he finds this out and it hurts him a lot! So much he wants to kill himself...or thinks about killing himself...something along those lines Yeah!
No offense dude but I think you're completely wrong. I'm pretty sure about how the government misinforms it's people and that if we all don't stand together they will take over. Devin (the singer) has already said that he hates the government. So that and the lyrics made me come to this conclusion, then again I might be wrong too.

....no....not at all. not every song is about someone crying over their girlfriend. Its pretty obvious. its about the fucked up state the worlds in right now, where nobody gives a fuck about anyone other then themselves
yeah, i was wrong hahaha..im glad theres more people listening to ISS now though
Not every socially aware song by every band is a reference to Zeitgeist - I'm seeing these prophetic people all over the place claiming so. A lot of people talk about our culture and how fucked up it is, without having heard about it from that subpar documentary. There's a million different ways to come to that conclusion and that's just one. Who's to say they haven't just read Howard Zinn, Derrick Jensen, Emma Goldman, or writings by the Zapatistas or any anarchist literature? Maybe they've just listened to a lot of bands that talk about this stuff and it's rubbed off. There's so many possibilities and we've no clue.
A lot of people can see how we're "enslaved" in this civilization, or this society, or capitalist system (depending on who you talk to), and the majority of them didn't get it from that doc.
Now it's my turn to push something - If you want you're world turned upside down even more so, and by a more credible source, read Derrick Jensen's "Endgame".

I interpret it from almost a buddhist staindpoint. We are living in the three dimensional world right now. We need to reach "enlightment" to be freed from the enslavement of the 3rd dimension to progress to the more spiritual dimensions.

"if this is a lie, then what am i" ....i interpret this as if the world is not really real, then what/who am i really. This is pretty much the core question buddhist monks dedicate their lives to figuring out.

"This is the portrait the man behind the curtain has painted for you"...I interpret this...
"This is the portrait the man behind the curtain has painted for you"...I interpret this as the world (3rd dimension, thus the song being titled 3D) has been created by an architech/god/gods (whatever you believe) and its up to us to connect to our seperate spiritual/divine nature and become enlightened, thus escaping the "enslavement" of the 3rd dimension. In order to escape we must escape the wanting nature, give up material things to become dis-attached. Senses Fail type thinking....but i could be absolutely wrong.
"When the power of love Exceeds the love for power The world will finally, finally know peace."
Amazing words to live by. <3
I think the last stanza means that God has a path and a life made for you to lead and if you choose to disobey it then you will be forever enslaved by sin and satan's hold on you
