Tai mūsų renesansas ir apšvieta - jūsų teismas.
teiskitės ir būkite teisiami...

//

The sound composition is being developed in order to destroy social attitudes, to cause the state of discomfort, to encourage cognitive dissonance and self-destruction. In the morale of painful cracks we are made to destroy and in this way to create; we are drawing our coat of arms on the screens of social cliches and looking beyond the self- imposed boundaries, drowned in cynicism because of god-fearing desire to come into contact with decency. This is our Renaissance and illuminance – your judgement.
Sue and be judged...

Au-Dessus Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Slowly sinking Sinking all of us.. In this suffocating drought of thinking.
Choking on infective vanity stuffed in our throats everyday
All that's left in memory reminds us freedom.
Freedom from foolishness and bliss of consciousness
Ever felt so apart that you questioned your purpose in living?
Ever thought is there a meaning in all that theater?
Is there a place for me in this stall full of competing cattle?
Are we meat for someone's dinner? A sham for others to enjoy?

When socially accepted becomes your choice and aim of life
Or a list full of double-faced creatures means more than to remain yourself.
Congrats! You are now one of them! Take your step towards proclaimed ambition

Take a seat on a contrived throne. I hope this crown of thorns fulfills your existence.
And this feast adorned with promises and lies will be your gallows rope

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Au-Dessus's song II convey a sense of suffocation and entrapment in society. The imagery of sinking suggests that everyone around us is also struggling to break free from the same societal constraints. The infective vanity stuffed in our throats implies that we are consuming toxic and unhealthy ideas, which further limit our ability to think clearly and freely. The only memory that remains is that of freedom - a freedom that we can only attain by shedding our foolishness and becoming fully conscious of ourselves and our surroundings.

The second half of the lyrics take a more introspective tone, as the singer questions their own purpose and existence. They wonder if there is any meaning to the world around them, or if it is all just a meaningless theater in which we are all just actors. They feel lost in a sea of societal expectations, wondering if they are nothing more than meat for someone's consumption. The reference to a list full of double-faced creatures suggests that the people around us may not always be trustworthy, and that it is important to remain true to oneself.

In the end, the lyrics circle back to the idea of societal acceptance and ambition. The singer implies that those who choose to conform to societal expectations and climb the ladder of success will ultimately find themselves trapped in a contrived world of promises and lies. This world will be their gallows rope, symbolizing their eventual downfall.
