about
'Hivemind' tells us the conceptual story of humanity reaching the point in which all the people share one collectual mind or state of mental being where everybody is treated as equal, except for the people who conviced everyone to partake in this form of civilisation.
lyrics
Free from blind speech
Your symbiosis has no hold on me
Break the cycle
Of what is forcefully implanted in your mind
We have forgotten
What it means to think for ourselves
Don’t let your voice be silenced
For it’s the strongest tool you will get
Don’t get your spirit extinguished
Free your mind
Don’t listen to the voices of the selfish leaders
They gaze inside
To find the hidden truth of what’s beneath the surface
Wait as the weak have all faltered
And are held in the hands
Of herders who speak into the mass
Why do you expect me to believe
When I still have my voice left to speak
Why do you expect me to believe
Your words are absolute and no one else is
Why do you expect me to believe
When I still have my voice left to speak
Why do you expect me to believe
Your words are absolute and no one else is right
Hivemind creating a world
Where no truths are spoken and no one is hurt
Hivemind creating a world
No absolutions, no survivors guilt
As the leaders preach
Their power grows
The weight is lifted
And the fragile will falls
Speak for yourself
Before someone else will do that for you
With truth in sight
The eyes will lead the way
Speak for yourself
Before someone else will do that for you
Wait as the weak have all faltered
And are held in the hands
Of herders who speak into the mass
Why do you expect me to believe
When I still have my voice left to speak
Why do you expect me to believe
Your words are absolute and no one else is
Why do you expect me to believe
When I still have my voice left to speak
Why do you expect me to believe
Your words are absolute and no one else is right
Abolishment of the free mind
The eyes will see what is left inside
