Under Pressure
Alienation Mental Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
in the timemachine is vitality total decreased
broken and lost in the fear of the future of this race shopwindows are overflown by happiness
you must learn how to laugh
compressed time and distance
overthrow me to the abyss of oblivion
they give away the brain certificates
i crawled in marasm ubiquitous perfection
stare to their poor idea
masters of progress and direction of the way
i would like to have a key to your 100%
turn this key and go away from this line
The lyrics to Alienation Mental's song "Under Pressure" address the overwhelming impact of technology on human life, leading to a decrease in vitality and a pervasive sense of fear about the future. The opening lyrics suggest that humans are being "pressed" by "hi-tech technologies," causing a decrease in energy and vitality. The reference to a "timemachine" implies that technology has compressed time and distorted our understanding of the present moment, leading to a sense of disorientation and anxiety. The image of being "overthrown to the abyss of oblivion" suggests that technology has the potential to swallow individuals whole and render them insignificant.
The song also references the pressure to conform to societal expectations, as suggested by the reference to "brain certificates." The idea of being "broken and lost" suggests that these expectations can be psychologically damaging, leading to a sense of being trapped and helpless. The lyrics critique the "masters of progress and direction of the way," who are dictating the course of human advancement without regard for individual needs and desires. Ultimately, the singer yearns to "have a key" to unlock the constraints of society's expectations and escape the pressures of modern life.
