We are the leaders and the preachers
Teaching you what is right from wrong
And even if a hint of nonsense
Has made us clearly conscious
We'll be the first ones to act
Be the first ones to act in

Tic-tock of the clock
And a knock at the...

Oh, oh, oh
Look at what we've all tried not to become
Another fabricated self-portrait
Oh, oh, no
Take another glance and remember
We're the ones setting you up to take our fall

You are the so-called weak and reckless
Waiting for the next big explosion
No matter if it's wrong or right
If we let you have it
You'll be the first to destroy
Be the first to destroy it

Tic-tock of the clock
And a knock at the...

Oh, oh, oh
Look at what we've all tried not to become
Another fabricated self-portrait
Oh, oh, no
Take another glance and remember
We're the ones setting you up to take our fall

The simple ways we roll our eyes
Are exactly how we disguise our secrets
You know you need this (x2)

Tic-tock of the clock
And a knock at the...
Tic-tock of the clock
And a knock at the...

Oh, oh, oh
Look at what we've all tried not to become
Another fabricated self-portrait
Oh, oh, no
Take another glance and remember
We're the ones setting you up to take our fall

    General Comment:I think this song is in the point of view of a parent talking to most likely their teenage kid because teenagers are usually looked at as "weak and reckless" and i think most of us could agree we don't want to end up like our parents like they say "Look at what we've all tried not to become"

    General Comment:I love this song. I think it's about how big, famous bands and corporations try and make people follow a certain 'trend' and everyone ends up being exactly the same, and it's boring. This kid hates The Audition because according to him, with this song they created the 'scene.' I think it's the total opposite, and it's more making fun of the 'scene.'
    Damn stereotypes, why can't people just be...people?

    General Comment:Ya'll are all wrong. The song is about how everyone wants to be a part of the 'hardcore scene' because they want to become the next big thing but they are actually just becoming like everyone else.

    General Comment:the audition is utterly amazing...and all there music seems to impress me more and more. I love how they take such a simple topic, but twist it and make it all metophorical or whatever lol.

    i like this music video...showing how what society wants us to be, then in the end becoming only what we as an individual wants to become.
