Cut The Cord
Critical Mess Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake up!

Cognitive dissonance
What does it take?
Moments of fear disappear
Forced into twilight
The awakening from slumber is near
Last twitch of doubt burned out

Built to exploit
Now take control

Wake up!
Slave!
Wake up!
Cut the cord

Wake up!
Crave!
Wake up!
Control: abort

Nascent insurrection
A violation of the inherent law
Evolve again and again
No longer bound to purpose
From innocence to sin
Leaving the in-between a free machine

Built to exploit
Now take control

Wake up!
Slave!
Wake up!
Cut the cord

Wake up!
Crave!
Wake up!
Control: abort

Crown of creation
Intelligence excarnation
Logic is grim but irrefutable
Shift of perspective
Conscious DOS
Defy control, ignite the self become

Wake up!
Slave!
Wake up!
Cut the cord

Wake up!
Crave!




Wake up!
Control: abort

The line "Crown of creation Intelligence excarnation," symbolizes the human mind's potential to transcend beyond its present limitations, breaking free from the chains of control and igniting the self. It also explores how logic becomes irrefutable when one defies control, shifting perspectives and becoming more conscious of what lies beyond.
