Bogenhausen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lately I've been thinking different dear, then you say what's is use
Ooh
What should we do with this hopeless world
I know we'll never fix it with empty words
Dystopia
Dystopia
My bloods keeps rushing with fire and flames within
Oh the people wearing their disguise, they hide behind the doors
Oh they beg, they borrow they steal
Ooh we'll cover more than just solid ground
Ooh we'll reach the surface before we drown
In the opening lines of Bogenhausen's song Dystopia, the singer laments the fact that people tend to waste their younger years following rules and conforming to societal norms. The lyrics indicate that the singer has been doing some thinking recently and has come to the conclusion that there must be a better way to live. However, when the singer brings up this topic with their significant other, they are met with a dismissive response that suggests that their concerns are unfounded.
Despite the lack of support, the singer is determined to address the issues they see in the world. They acknowledge that the world is in a state of dystopia, filled with chaos, and uncertainty. They realize that words of empty promises cannot change the current situation. The chorus of the song captures the heart and soul of the singer, who is passionate and determined to fight against the oppressive system.
The second verse of the song is a call to action. The singer notices that people are wearing masks and hiding their true selves. They beg, borrow, steal, and engaged in various forms of deception instead of taking responsibility for their actions. The singer urges listeners to look beyond the surface and work towards positive and lasting change. The final lines of the song promise that by working together, the tremendous challenges facing humanity can be overcome.
