Scissors in the Mind

V5.5

[Intro] (Nervous plucking violins, quiet and eerie) (Sound of a pencil scratching, then the sound of paper being torn) [Male Voice: Kurt M.T. – whispered] Should I really send this? [Female Voice: Vivian Fragile – whispered] Better delete it. You never know who's watching. [Verse 1: Male Rap] I open the window, I type out a word But the fear of the cloud makes my vision blurred Was that too critical? Was I too loud? Am I already a face in their digital crowd? I wanted to ask, I wanted to cry But the scissors in my mind make the thought die We weigh every sentence like it’s made of gold And bury the truth before it can be told. [Chorus: Female & Male Vocals - Orchestral Melancholy] The scissors in the mind, they cut so deep Into every secret that we wanted to keep We whisper in shadows where we used to laugh Tamed and obedient on their digital path Freedom dies slowly, without a sound Because we’re the ones who are keeping it bound! [Instrumental Break] (Sorrowful cello melody, building up with heavy, cinematic drum hits) [Verse 2: Female Rap] The web was a dream, a space without end Now it’s a cage where you can’t trust a friend "Did you hear that?", "Did you see what they posted?" "Don't share that link or your future is toasted." Self-censorship is the quietest thief Stealing our courage and our belief We adapt, we conform, we become like a clone Afraid of the power on the digital throne. [Chorus: Female & Male Vocals] The scissors in the mind, they cut so deep Into every secret that we wanted to keep We whisper in shadows where we used to laugh Tamed and obedient on their digital path Freedom dies slowly, without a sound Because we’re the ones who are keeping it bound! [Bridge: Male & Female Duet - Slow & Building Intensity] (Piano notes like falling rain, then a sudden brass surge) [Male] If you have nothing to say, you have nothing to fear? [Female] That’s the lie they’ve been whispering in your ear! [Male] If you don’t dare to speak your doubt... [Female] ...you’ll never find out what life is about! [Both] The greatest control isn't the law of the state It’s the fear in your head that seals your own fate! [Verse 3: Both - High Intensity Rap] Break the scissors, let your spirit run wild Reclaim the thoughts of the man and the child! A nation in fear, too afraid to be heard Has forgotten the power of the spoken word Behind the walls of "safety" lies a hollow light A shadow at the edge of our democratic night Write it down, say it loud, stand by your soul Before the silence takes total control! [Chorus: Female & Male Vocals] The scissors in the mind, they cut so deep Into every secret that we wanted to keep We whisper in shadows where we used to laugh Tamed and obedient on their digital path Freedom dies slowly, without a sound Because we’re the ones who are keeping it bound! [Outro] (Orchestra fades into a single, high violin note that suddenly snaps) (Sound of a heavy iron door locking) [Male Voice] Don't even think about it. [Female Voice] Too late. [Silence]
