Gears Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You suffer from a manufactured sickness and envy by design
Pre-calculated status and patterns of desire
Accumulation and adoration, built to feed your ostentation
Perpetually unsatisfied, but you never question why
[Pre-Chorus]
So hang it on the wall of your golden cage
Tell yourself that it means something
[Chorus]
Empty actions to fill the time
Commercial gods keep you in line
Industry and empire thrive
While you're dying for always more
[Verse 2]
Your endless hunger automated, industry defined
A systematic impulse, parametric lines
Subjugation and degradation, the blueprint to your annihilation
Your assets personified, a product of the times
[Pre-Chorus 2]
So hang a mirror on the wall of your golden cage
Tell yourself that you mean something
[Chorus]
Empty actions to fill the time
Commercial gods keep you in line
Industry and empire thrive
While you're dying for always more
[Bridge]
So you can't take it with you but you don't use it now
A shallow life to crush you, drive you into the ground
So scared to lose the nothings you acquire
Everything must fall, bones on a pyre
(So scared to lose it all
So scared to lose it all)
Always more
Always more
More and more and more
[Chorus]
Empty actions to fill the time
Commercial gods keep you in line
Industry and empire thrive
While you're dying for always more
Always more
You suffer from a manufactured sickness and envy by design
Pre-calculated status and patterns of desire
Accumulation and adoration, built to feed your ostentation
Perpetually unsatisfied, but you never question why
So hang it on the wall of your golden cage
Tell yourself that it means something
Empty actions to fill the time
Commercial gods keep you in line
Industry and empire thrive
While you're dying for always more
Your endless hunger automated, industry defined
A systematic impulse, parametric lines
Subjugation and degradation, the blueprint to your annihilation
Your assets personified, a product of the times
So hang a mirror on the wall of your golden cage
Tell yourself that you mean something
Empty actions to fill the time
Commercial gods keep you in line
Industry and empire thrive
While you're dying for always more
So you can't take it with you but you don't use it now
A shallow life to crush you, drive you into the ground
So scared to lose the nothings you acquire
Everything must fall, bones on a pyre
(So scared to lose it all
So scared to lose it all)
Always more
Always more
More and more and more
Empty actions to fill the time
Commercial gods keep you in line
Industry and empire thrive
While you're dying for always more
Always more

I think this deals with in general the empty, often shallow lives some lead especially in the mechanized, industrialized cocoon so many are soldered in. They become so entrapped in their digitized worlds, away from actual contact with anyone & void of any depth/meaning to their lives, they're longer even actually living.
