[Verse 1] You wake up early, reach for the glow, A gentle current guiding where your thoughts should go. No heavy chains, no visible wall, Just a whisper in the dark that catches them all. A little opinion wrapped up as a fact, Before you even notice, you’re caught in the act. They paint the narrative, they shape the view, Planting the seeds without a word to you. [Pre-Chorus] Day after day, the repetition screams, Weaving the fiction right into your dreams. A drop in the ocean, a flood on the screen, Feeding the ghost in the great machine! [Chorus] And the biggest lie, worn out and old, Turns into truth when it’s constantly told! When the echo chamber sings the exact same song, Even the poison starts feeling right and wrong. So open your eyes, don't swallow the bait, Before the illusion decides your fate! [Verse 2] They feed you the outrage, they measure your fears, Repeating the slogans for months and for years. Until the reflection isn't yours anymore, Just a script that was written outside of your door. Algorithms smiling, steering the mind, Leaving critical thinking so far behind. They want you compliant, they want you asleep, Just another digital sheep in the deep. [Pre-Chorus] Day after day, the repetition screams, Weaving the fiction right into your dreams. A drop in the ocean, a flood on the screen, Feeding the ghost in the great machine! [Chorus] And the biggest lie, worn out and old, Turns into truth when it’s constantly told! When the echo chamber sings the exact same song, Even the poison starts feeling right and wrong. So open your eyes, don't swallow the bait, Before the illusion decides your fate! [Bridge] Look beyond the frame. Question every name. Turn off the screen, step into the light, Your mind is your own in the dead of the night. Don't trade your reason for comfort and ease, That’s how they bring the whole world to its knees. [Instrumental: fast guitar and synth solo] [Chorus] And the biggest lie, worn out and old, Turns into truth when it’s constantly told! When the echo chamber sings the exact same song, Even the poison starts feeling right and wrong. So open your eyes, don't swallow the bait, Before the illusion decides your fate! [Outro] Think for yourself... Look past the screen... Break the machine... [Silence]
