Cover art for Our Own Way lyrics by Mushroomhead

he is saying stop playing the game of life and make it your own, hence the song title and the repeating line our own way, im all for metaphor but this seems an almost literal explanation into the writers mind

"Despised imitators plagiarized dictators claims are false" to me says that all the people that have ever been in power never truly had their own life they were bound by the rules of society and were forced into the worldwide game everything seems to be anymore

"Consuming time to run in place Thoughts intertwined can't navigate And lose our way" seems to mean that we are just wasting time anymore because we arent learning for ourselves anymore its just knowledge piled up from more caches of knowledge and the person who figured this out is forgotten, people shouldnt be fed information because they will take it as the undoubtable truth

the only thing that comes to mind from that part is nothing is taken only permitted whihc means we only know what those before or ahead of us want us to know so we must gather as much as we can and pick the truth we want
