Guillotine Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When the whole wide world around you crumbles to the sea
I don't know what it might mean to me
If you look around you'll find that freedom isn't free
Just look up, you'll find you're on your knees
[Chorus 1]
It's a crime
You crossed the line
And to this day of penance, you will pay
[Verse 2]
When everything you thought was real turns out to be so wrong
Will you still say that my mind is gone?
Will you sit in silence and get programmed by the screen?
You'll never know we're in the guillotine
[Chorus 2]
It's a crime
You crossed the line
And to this day of penance, you will pay
Losing time
Lose your mind
Forever you have thrown it all away
Away
[Bridge]
'Cause when I feel I know them
You know what they say
Don't mess with me 'cause I am here to stay
'Cause I don't think it's funny
When you walk away
[?] to this day
To this day
[Verse 3]
When the whole wide world around you crumbles to the sea
Just look up, you'll find you're on your knees
[Chorus 2]
It's a crime
You crossed the line
And to this day of penance, you will pay
Losing time
Lose your mind
Forever you have thrown it all away
Away
When the whole wide world around you crumbles to the sea
I don't know what it might mean to me
If you look around you'll find that freedom isn't free
Just look up, you'll find you're on your knees
It's a crime
You crossed the line
And to this day of penance, you will pay
When everything you thought was real turns out to be so wrong
Will you still say that my mind is gone?
Will you sit in silence and get programmed by the screen?
You'll never know we're in the guillotine
It's a crime
You crossed the line
And to this day of penance, you will pay
Losing time
Lose your mind
Forever you have thrown it all away
Away
'Cause when I feel I know them
You know what they say
Don't mess with me 'cause I am here to stay
'Cause I don't think it's funny
When you walk away
[?] to this day
To this day
When the whole wide world around you crumbles to the sea
Just look up, you'll find you're on your knees
It's a crime
You crossed the line
And to this day of penance, you will pay
Losing time
Lose your mind
Forever you have thrown it all away
Away

The song speaks to the importance of resisting societal control and conformity, emphasizing the idea that true freedom and individuality requires the courage to challenge established norms and face the consequences of one's actions. It serves as a rallying cry for personal autonomy and self-determination in the face of oppressive forces. The phrase being in the guillotine is a metaphor for when individuals don't resist being programmed or influenced by external factors, implying that falling victim to societal control or manipulation can result in the loss of one's individuality or identity.
