Meshuggah - Dancers To A Discordant System
Lyrics:
Listen to the hidden tune
- the essence of lies in the notes defined
As we dance to the dissonant sway
- the choreography refined
Will subdued and shackled
Reason washed aside
Pledgeing our love to the chains
Our ignorance ever-amplified
Bloodened 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 convert 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 kn
