Every Day Is Exactly the Same Lyrics

Okay don't everybody freak out at me but this song reminds me of the end of "1984", you know that great book by George Orwell, where finally O'Brien has broken Winston Smith, the main character, and he has renounced everything he used to believe . . . I'm not saying that the song is based on the book, I'm just saying that it reminds me of the book. Especially the part that goes, "I think I used to have a purpose . . ." and "Sometimes I feel their eyes watching, in case I lose myself again . . ." (Remember, Big Brother is WATCHING you!)

If you listen very closely to the song you can hear that the lyrics could be "there is no laws here, there is no pain" Which makes sense in you analyse the lyrics from the George Orwell 1984 perspective. Because it is said in the book that the society that Winston is living in has no real laws.
