I suppose I read too far into it when I assumed it was an attack outright, on society in general.
you're keeping in step
in the line
got your chin held high and you feel just fine
because you do
what you're told
but inside your heart it is black and it's hollow and it's cold
You're following society's mass plan, you've gotten through highschool, you've gone to college, you're married, you have a job, kids, a house and you're proud of these accomplishments. Not because given a choice you'd have actually aspired to these things but because you've succeeded in the way you were told you were supposed to and gone through life in line without making a fuss. Except, deep inside, you realize that none of these superficial things mean anything and you're simply going through the motions without thinking and for that reason when you look inside you realize your soul, your heart, your whatever is completely empty.
'just how deep do you believe?
will you bite the hand that feeds?
will you chew until it bleeds?
can you get up off your knees?
are you brave enough to see?
do you want to change it?'
Asking just how attatched are you to the illusion of order society has created. Will you bite the thing, will you dystroy the thing that feeds the very foundation of your world. Are you strong enough to stand up and remove yourself from the hold that it has over you. Are you brave enough to face the fact that it is all just an illusion and even if you do realize this do you want to change it? It would be alot easier to just keep going on in the same fashion you have been your entire life.
what if this whole crusade's
a charade
and behind it all there's a price to be paid
for the blood
on which we dine
justified in the name of the holy and the divine
Along the same lines as the first paragraph except the question is termed in frames of religion.
so naive
to keep holding on to what I want to believe
i can see
but i keep holding on and on and on and on
Once again its easier just to keep believing in the legitimacy of the society we have created and to keep holding on and on and on even though deep down we know that it's superficial and that its pointless.
Maybe I'm wrong but hey it's what I want to believe ;)
