Opposition
108 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your empty religion
Your proud hollow philosophy
Consumerism, thrice daily cannibalism
Your tv
Your constant sexuality
I oppose, vehemently
I vow
"Opposition" by 108 is a critical commentary on the current social, political and religious systems that exist worldwide. The song's lyrics accuse modern society of practicing hypocrisy, religion, and philosophy that are hollow, proud, and void of true meaning. The song also comments on the culture of consumerism, which is eating at people three times a day, depleting resources, and increasing waste. The themes of the song are an indictment of what the band perceives as the falseness and emptiness of modern life, and the song serves as a call to resist these forces.
