The Cure Lyrics
This feels insane
The less you know
Now is worth more than anything
You will engage and breathe it
Toxic
The burn
Show me where the progress exists
Without the protest
Hide behind the faint lines
Built beside the same lines
Even though it's not in your view
You're a part of a bigger chain
Gaping holes worn through weeping walls
It's right in front of you
We're holding the blade
This feels insane
Wealth before our own worth
Programmed to obey
We are the slaves who object in silence
The herd
Even though it's not in your view
You're a part of a bigger chain
Gaping holes worn through weeping walls
It's right in front of you
We're holding the blade
Feed me now the cure
Even though it's not in your view
You're a part of a bigger chain
Gaping holes worn through weeping walls
It's right in front of you
Even thought it's not in your view
You're a link in a bigger chain
Gaping holes through weeping walls
It's right in front of you
The path they gave you is worn
By the countless enslaved
Confused alone
Hopelessly gazing through that hole
They're fed their only light
The less you know
Now is worth more than anything
You will engage and breathe it
Toxic
The burn
Without the protest
Hide behind the faint lines
Built beside the same lines
You're a part of a bigger chain
Gaping holes worn through weeping walls
It's right in front of you
We're holding the blade
Wealth before our own worth
Programmed to obey
We are the slaves who object in silence
The herd
You're a part of a bigger chain
Gaping holes worn through weeping walls
It's right in front of you
We're holding the blade
You're a part of a bigger chain
Gaping holes worn through weeping walls
It's right in front of you
Even thought it's not in your view
You're a link in a bigger chain
Gaping holes through weeping walls
By the countless enslaved
Confused alone
Hopelessly gazing through that hole
They're fed their only light

I love how both their albums are based around similar themes. Corruption. Conforming. Global political issues.
The last stanza resonates with me particularly: "The path they gave you is worn by the countless enslaved, confused and alone Hopelessly gazing through that hole they're fed their only light"
Kim has stated that the album is dark (most especially this song) because he feels we are inadvertently responsible for the things happening on TV, he connects our apathy with what is happening in the world.
I can see that point of view very clearly in this song having read that.
"Show me where the progress exists Without the protest"
People get fired up about certain issues but do they actually DO anything about them? No. We all turn a blind eye. We all think it's somebody else's problem to solve. Nobody takes responsibility.
"Programmed to obey We are the slaves who object in silence The herd"
We follow the crowd. 'Object in silence' - how true that is! Kim, you're a genius.
