Bread and Circus Lyrics
Here we are in the middle of our existential reckoning
Long ago we all traded
Regretfully abdicated
Our voice
And our light
Self-sovereignty
Charge
Our command
And these
Traded all for
Bread and circus
Here we are in the middle of our existential reckoning
The pawns and powers that be play checkers
Chess
And monopoly
For keeps, for life, for all to ¿contest?
For our servility
Acquiescing and idling
Predestinated circling
????? we must?
Paradox
Trade it all for nothing more than
Concessions, fireworks, pageantry
And glitter, gladiators, and jesters, just entertainers
Bread and circus
Here we are in the middle of our existential reckoning
Acquiescing and idling
Predestinated circling
Here we are in the middle of our existential reckoning
Acquiescing and idling
Predestinated circling
Long ago we all traded
Regretfully abdicated
Our voice
And our light
Self-sovereignty
Charge
Our command
And these
Traded all for
Bread and circus
The pawns and powers that be play checkers
Chess
And monopoly
For keeps, for life, for all to ¿contest?
For our servility
Predestinated circling
????? we must?
Paradox
Trade it all for nothing more than
Concessions, fireworks, pageantry
And glitter, gladiators, and jesters, just entertainers
Bread and circus
Acquiescing and idling
Predestinated circling
Acquiescing and idling
Predestinated circling

Existential Reckoning is a record that has grown on me immensely since it released. My takeaway from this song is that we forfeit our control over our lives for digital entertainment. The main theme I hear when listening to the record is that we’re bringing our own destruction through the digital world
