New World Order
Devoid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It was never really ours
We are the pawns on board
We are being sacrificed
Even of you open your eyes
You're too blind to see the light
You won't even see the light
You're being controlled
You're life has no value
But you're has a price
Wake up can you smell the void?
Wake up can you smell the void?
Wake up can you smell the void?
Blinding hysteria
Bleeding in the dead of night
The preachers the teachers and the leaders
Appointed to serve their legion
The lechers, the speakers and the brokers
Confine you in this new world order
Blinding hysteria
Bleeding you in the dead of night
Breeding Insanity
Fighting a war that never was
Breaking the human will
Watch them imprison your life
Rightrous assholes
They show their signs but yet you can't see
Pious sinners
They seize your minds and leave them to rot
Fascist bastards
You let them thrive and their cannibal siege
Fucking twits
Don't you fucking get?
Wake up and get used to the smell of void
The lyrics of Devoid's song New World Order convey a message of awakening to the reality that the world, as we know it, is not ours. The world is being controlled by higher powers, and we are just mere pawns on the board being sacrificed. The song encourages people to open their eyes and see the light, to see through the lies they have been told by the preachers, teachers, and leaders who were appointed to serve their own interests.
The song exposes the blind hysteria that goes on at night, where people bleed in the dark, fighting a war that never was. The human will is broken, and people's lives are being imprisoned by the higher powers whose value for an individual's life is based on the price they put on it. New World Order tells us to wake up and smell the void, to be more conscious of the forces that control our lives, and not to allow our minds to be seized by pious sinners or fascist bastards.
