This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
once again i think society's corrupt and this world is turning to shit
it seems that everyone, all they ever want to do is fit
in
can't they see that something wrong?
i wonder if they even notice
once again i think my best friend is moronic and he doesn't even understand
why doesn't he just open up his eyes and try to be a real friend
won't let this world drag me down
i know i've been pushed around
by the people who think they control
and of course they've yet to show me how
they consider this right
and the people in the high position
who rule the world with their decisions
now i hope they see what they've done
it seems that everyone, all they ever want to do is fit
in
can't they see that something wrong?
i wonder if they even notice
once again i think my best friend is moronic and he doesn't even understand
why doesn't he just open up his eyes and try to be a real friend
won't let this world drag me down
i know i've been pushed around
by the people who think they control
and of course they've yet to show me how
they consider this right
and the people in the high position
who rule the world with their decisions
now i hope they see what they've done
