Nation of Prisons Lyrics

Look up in the sky
Those things are real
Look up in your mind
Those stiletto heels
Nation of prisons
Nation of prisons
Nation of prisons
Hooked up to your mind
The aluminum feed
Straight down from the sky
Your mouth diseased
Nation of prisons
Nation of prisons
Nation of prisons
I give up
I can't spend my time
Or light another cigarette
I can't help it
I'm just another guy
I give up
And I guess I will just
I will see you around
Or light another cigarette
I can't help it
I'm just another guy
I'm just another guy
Nation of prisons
Nation of prisons
Nation of prisons
Nation of prisons
Filling up like I knew they would
Nation of prisons
Filling up like I knew they would

Cover art for Nation of Prisons lyrics by User

The lyrics of User's song "Nation of Prisons" appears to be a commentary on the increasing control and domination of society and individuals by the powers that be. The first two lines, "Look up in the sky, those things are real" could be referring to surveillance drones or satellites that are constantly monitoring our movements and activities. The mention of "stiletto heels" in the same line is ambiguous but could be a metaphor for the oppressive nature of the powers that be, who are perhaps portraying themselves as alluring and attractive but are actually harmful. The lyrics then shift to the idea of a "Nation of prisons", which appears to be a metaphor for the constraints and limitations individuals face in society. The "aluminum feed" could be referring to the constant bombardment of information and entertainment through screens, which is not necessarily beneficial for individuals. The line "your mouth diseased" could be interpreted to mean that the prevalent discourse in society is toxic and harmful. The chorus emphasizes the idea of a "nation of prisons", suggesting that the constraints and limitations on individuals are increasing and reaching a critical stage. The final lines, "Filling up like I knew they would", suggests that the situation is becoming dire and perhaps there is no escape from the oppressive nature of society that control the populace with invisible lines called borders.
