Eye for eye, we cross this divide
One for one, into our demise
It's a parasitic trend
Looking for a victim
Stuck inside a hivemind fantasy
But the static in your head is a feature of the system
Just another (digital lobotomy)
And when it all blows up the sun will still be shining
And when it all falls down you think you'll still pretend?
I got a feeling in the end you might be lying
So tell me are you happy now?
Living in the upside down
Giving it a whirl
(It's a brave new fucking world)
(Nihilistic) rage
You think you're enemies but you're all the same
So maybe it's just you
And the monsters tried and they got inside
But they weren't under your bed
They're in your brains
Manipulating you
And when it all blows up the sun will still be shining
And when it all falls down you think you'll still pretend?
I got a feeling in the end you might be lying
So tell me are you happy now?
Living in the upside down
Giving it a whirl
(It's a brave new fucking) world
The bigger the lie, the further it goes
It's all fun and games 'til the overthrow
When it gets inside and it starts to grow
Then say goodbye 'cause that's the deathblow
But I'm not giving up that easy
I'm not giving up my mind
'Cause the more that you try, the more that they need
There's nowhere to hide (when they break out the guillotine)
Break out the guillotine
When they break out the guillotine
Guillotine
And when it all blows up the sun will still be shining
And when it all falls down you think you'll still pretend?
I got a feeling in the end you might be lying
So tell me are you happy now?
Living in the upside down
Giving it a whirl
(It's a brave new fucking world)
One for one, into our demise

Stuck inside a hivemind fantasy

The name of the song is a reference to Aldous Huxley’s novel “Brave New World”. In the novel Huxley warns against the dangers of too much technology. He shows a world where technological advances have solved all of society's problems, but at the cost of their humanity. I think that is the inspiration here - how when it all explodes, the repercussions may be horrifying.
As eternal said, it's a call out to the novel, but more than that (as Justin usually provides,) it's more than that. It's a battle between one's self and conforming to today's low standards then facing the regret of doing so. I think the song is sung from the perspective of someone speaking to themself.
