about
This is a political song that criticizes both the religious right and the left, and how nobody wants to challenge themselves, but wants to live in an echo chamber.
lyrics
ECHO CHAMBER
FIRST VERSE:
Our blind eyes glued to the screen
Like the news never lies to our faces
Lobbied by corporate greed
The truth that lies at it’s core is vacant.
Reinforced to the point of disease
Brainwashing that’s been passed down for generations
Can’t reverse the mind frame we’re placed in
Cause our portal to the outside’s misinformation
Our commercial way of life is so fabricated
It’s like diet soda, decaffeinated.
PRE-CHORUS
The beast says what we have is nothing
So we feed it to fill the void
Our ego’s attached as they distort our flaws
Till our souls been raptured by the corporate Gods
With goods manufactured overseas,
For cents an hour in sweatshops.
We’re all followers our friends believe the same,
So we can’t be convinced that we’re all insane.
CHORUS:
We’re safe in our echo chamber from reality
We’re dead to the world, blind to the fallacy
we’re safe in our echo chamber from reality
we’ll never understand(x2)
SECOND VERSE:
Our blind eyes looking away
From all the things we don’t wanna see
But the more we find, the less we wanna know
Ignorance is bliss, but the path the keeps you low
So we blindly consume, feed into the machine
From the food we eat, to what’s on the TV screen
Never questioned anything in our lives
Except for others right to do things we don’t like.
While the wealthiest elite, prod us like a sheep
The ones at the top decide what we can see
And decide what we believe, so question everything
In this echo chamber out from reality.
In this echo chamber, our own mentality
It’s the deadliest disease In the world today
CHORUS REPEATS
