Is it just me or does this song remind anyone else of 1984? I just finished reading it last week and I was listening to this song and so much of it reminded me of the society from the book.
For example:
"Nothing could beat complete denial"
Everyone is in denial about how controlling their government is. When people are 'vaporized' people ignore it.
"All we do is talk, sit, switch screens
as the homeland plans enemies"
The screens are an obvious reference to the telescreens. Also, Oceania is always changing the enemies from Eurasia to Eastasia and vice versa.

"passive attraction, programmed reaction passive attraction, programmed reaction action distraction, more information"
Since everyone is in denial, they need to fake their reactions and filter out their mind. Double think. thats what programmed reaction means.
"where does the time go? we’re waking up so slowly"
The government is always erasing history, hence "where does the time go?"
Is this only making sense to me? Feedback would be appreciated.
@Nacksis I thought of Fahrenheit 451. The society is very sheep-like, and that sounds a lot lie what you said.
