Living in Chaos
D-Clone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did my time
Threshed the truth
Out the lie
Snowman cold
Pigeon holed
Cooed to death
Curtain closed
System froze
Wait for me
Braver be
Dragged old man
Kissed and ran
Licked away
Our spray tan
Living in America
Living in America
London's fun
Been and done
One for all
All for one
Hit the town
Fit the crown
Heavy head
Hanging down
If you don't know
We will not go
Turning your tricks like a newborn gangster
You need not be
Born wealthy
If you care
You're the heir
Living in America
Living in America
A young wind blows
Through your hair
Bald or grey
Some of them stayed
You're about as old
As the last day
You felt young
I dare say
If you don't know
We will not go
Turning your tricks like a newborn gangster
You need not be
Born wealthy
If you care
You're the heir
Living in America
Living in America
Living in America
Living in America
The lyrics of D-Clone's song "Living in Chaos" offer a cynical view of modern society, particularly reflective of life in big cities such as London and America. The opening lines 'London's fine, did my time, threshed the truth out the lie' suggest that the singer has experienced and survived the harsh realities of life in the city. However, the following lines 'snowman cold, pigeon holed, cooed to death, pilgrim soul' paint a picture of isolation and confinement, where people are made to feel small and insignificant in a world that is often cold and uncaring.
The second verse highlights the struggles of those who 'hit the town, fit the crown, heavy head hanging down'. These individuals may have once felt important and powerful, but the weight of their responsibilities and the expectations placed upon them have left them feeling defeated and unable to live up to society's standards. The chorus 'living in America' is repeated throughout the song, almost as a reminder that the themes explored in the verses are not unique to London, but are present throughout the Western world.
The bridge of the song declares that 'you need not be born wealthy, if you care, you're the heir'. This sentiment suggests that true power comes not from wealth or status, but from empathy and a desire to make a change. The song ends with a reflection on the fleeting nature of youth and the reality of growing old, reminding us that even as we age, we can still choose to care and make a difference in the world around us.
