Текст песни Monosphere - Retreat

Оригинальный текст песни Retreat

All the time you felt a fear you couldn't name
A phobia growing inside of you
Erasing distinction between right and wrong
Feeling but not seeing, doing but not wanting

Like a grain of sand inside the hourglass
You can't escape this cage
A particle in a lifeless universe
Moving when this world turns upside down

They look at you with empty eyes
A uniform crowd moving through the streets
A remote control operating machines
They lack everything human

Something here reminds you of a paradise
Blurred memories of the past make you feel alive
Make you follow the rules, follow the crowd
And keep your head down

Too much repression, manipulation

Faked views keep it running, a mind-controlling mechanism
Killing feelings, instrumentalizing thoughts, conditioning your body
What have they done? Live changes but can they turn you into something else

Too much repression, manipulation

Turn off the switch, let me be alive

What have they done? What have they done? What have they done?
There are echoes in the distance, a dying light at the horizon
Is anyone calling my name?

Scream out the truth
Burn down the grid
Scream out the truth
Burn down the grid

Let me escape this world

They can force you to fit in
But they can't turn you into something else
They can force you to fit in
But they can't turn you into something else
