"the blue light spills like oceans
we smile and let it in
it cures us of our questions
like hoods on peregrine"
Like someone else mentioned, the blue light is T.V. which gives answers most people are satisfied with. It covers the truth, and we accept it.
"knowledge locked in a tower
barons will hold the key
but if knowledge is power,
know this is tyranny
all we're asking for is what's ours"
They are hiding the truth, keeping it "locked" up, so we have no access to it. But, "knowledge is power," therefore the people withholding the truth have all the power, because they have the knowledge. Because they have all the power, they are tyrants.
"you think they're selling you truth,
truth is, they're selling you out
truth is, they're selling you out"
People take what magazines, T.V., even the governent says as truth, but it's not.
"the black ink fuels our notions
that all the facts are in
it cures us of our questions
like hoods on peregrine"
"The black ink" is referring to newspapers, magazines, etc. People take the news as fact and do not question its credibility.
"all we're asking for is what's ours
you think they're selling you truth
but they're just selling you
and if we keep buying in
the line between lies and truth
will wear paper thin,
paper thin"
If we keep taking what the media says as fact, then there will be no difference between what is real and what is not. We will just be robots, sort of.
