Complicity

Meshuggah - Dancers to a Discordant System

活在當(dāng)下 制作

Listen to the hidden tune

- the essence of lies in note defined

As we dance to the dissonant sway

- the choreography refined

Will sudued and shackled

Reason washed aside

Pledging our love to the chains

Our ignorance ever amplified

Blooded hands lead the waltz

We're trapped in the out of tune swirl

Still we set the show on continue mode

And dance to a discordant system

We accept the nails we're fed

- Lies sharpened to bleed us silent

Muted from the pains

Defiance employed in vain

Any attempts to leave the dance

Invisibly suppressed

Questions unasked, we learn the steps

- eyes shut like all the rest

Unsuspecting, willing, blind, controllable herd

Pawns in a covert game conducted by hands we trust

Dominated, compliant and deceptable

Confident that we matter - we don't see that we're but dust

Committed to a lie we cannot see, cannot know nor comprehend

We're all asinine drones kept in the dark, kept in line

Confined, bereft of reason

Withering in toxicity

- the deadly fumes deceit

And we all reek of complicity

Humbled, brought to our knees

By the weight of our own guilt

Our nescient ways the catalyst

To injustice and inhumanity

We dance - to appease

Compete in stupidity

Obscured faces file our points

- numbers fed to the machine

Still we stand in line for the next show

The human spine liquefied

What are we, but stupefied

Dancers to a discordant system

We believe - so we're misled

We assume - so we're played

We confide - so we're deceived

We trust- so we're betrayed
