Sleepwalker

The term combine is also heavily used in the book "One Flew Over The Cukoos Nest", describing society as a combine (harvester) which harvests the minds of souls of people and turn them into robots that follow the norm. Judging by Winston's use of words from the book "1984" in Samsara, I wouldn't be suprised if he was again referencing a book which deals with an overbearing society.

I have been reading "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" which is a novel that relates the routine of a mental hospital to the daily conformity driven society we live in. I strongly suggest reading it. It mentions the combine and from what my English teacher said it represents how we are sent to the combine to be indistinguishable from the rest of society. This is much like a farming combine, which cuts up the crops and makes them look the same. So the combine represents conformity and how society make us all alike.

i think this song is more about your world falling apart around you and with the depression that comes with it you feel like a "sleepwalker" wondering the earth with no meaning to your life.

I think this song is about how society turns people into cogs in a system and sucks the life out of them, all "in the name of progress; in the name of blind ambition". Society grows and expands and people never stop to think if the activity and growth is actually improving their lives or making them happier.

btw, this is a sick song.

This song is absolutely sick. The new album is going to destroy.

However, I can't really pick out a meaning. Anyone got any insight?

lyrics sort of correct, heres the actual lyrics consumed,i feel the rage growing inside me,a fear i cannot contain, At war with an enemy that does not rest who will never relent.This city, these lifeless catacombs, our tombs they have become.Buried Alive at birth never to return.chained the masses,trapped and trained by viscious minds,i let them tear away everything inside,Strip away my humanity,Fracture my identity,Sacrifice my integrity,Just bodies through the teeth of the combine,At war with an enemy that does not rest who will never relent,Sllepwalk our lives away, in search for shallow graves,sleepwalk our lives away.Lost souls, lost.Just bodies through the teeth of the combine,just bodies through the teeth.consumed,i feel the rage growing inside me, I will not contain.I have come to question every truth i know.Not one more step in the name of progress,in the name of blind ambition, how the fuck am i supposed to feel when ieverything i know lies broken at my feet

i think "sleepwalk our lives away" sums up this whole song i think its about not living to your potential and going through life without aiming to high.

Tyler3750 has the exact lyrics.

Put those in instead of what's up there.

Alright, my stab at the meaning behind these lyrics is basically being caught up in the natural system of how society functions. You basically just go along with the flow of the world without going out for what you truly want or love. And eventually you'll realize that you've done the wrong thing and won't know what to do [How the fuck am I supposed to feel when everything I know lies broken at my feet], or you'll possibly break away from the path and just do what you want to do. Just a thought
