about

This song is inspired by George Orwell's work and by famous post-punk bands of the early '80s. It portrays this world, controlled by puppeteers orchestrating calculated madness to maintain order...

lyrics

In a world swirling with illusions so grand
Puppeteers pull strings with a calculated hand
The great, on thrones, elevated high
Sustain order through directed madness, oh my

Through time, a voice whispers in the air
Truth veiled, in the lingering despair
A symphony of deceptions skillfully played
Where directed madness is the key portrayed

In the depth of thoughts, in imposed silence
A prophecy unfolds, on the path with defiance
"Directed madness," the mantra proclaimed
Where equality fades, and freedom is named

In the depth of thoughts, in imposed silence
A prophecy unfolds, on the path with defiance
"Directed madness," the mantra proclaimed
Where equality fades, and freedom is named

Joyful masks hide a stark reality
Masters of the game orchestrate finality
Masked madness, a disguised ballet
For the great to endure, immutable, stay

Thoughts surveilled, dissidence suppressed
The voice of rebellion in this lyrical quest
The great hold reins, madness on a leash
Minds chained, truth under pressure and siege

In the depth of thoughts, in imposed silence
A prophecy unfolds, on the traced path with defiance
"Directed madness," the mantra proclaimed
Where equality fades, and freedom is named

In the depth of thoughts, in imposed silence
A prophecy unfolds, on the traced path with defiance
"Directed madness," the mantra proclaimed
Where equality fades, and freedom is named
