1.
Downlink has been punishing dancefloors all over the planet with his heavy brand of dubstep. With roots in Jungle & DnB, he is no stranger to the vile side of subsonic dance music. Growing up in a cold industrial town in British Columbia, Canada, he was first introduced to dubstep in 2007 and soon after took to production. While maintaining an appreciation for the sparse and laid-back vibes of the old school, Downlink set out to explore a more frantic, adrenaline fuelled style, influenced by everything from heavy metal to astrophysics. His first two releases charted at #1 on several popular online music stores and soon he found his way onto Rottun Recordings which seemed a suiting place for his music. While consistently coming up with sick material time after time, he has gained DJ support from the likes of Nero, Excision, Datsik, Rusko, Dieselboy, Crookers and many more. Downlink is not one to be pigeon-holed and is constantly on a quest to evolve and refine his sound. With this in mind, one thing will always remain constant - a pure unadulterated heavy listening experience…

Illuminati
Downlink Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where is your self control?
Why can't you just be honest?
The corruption takes its toll
You rape our hope
Too proud to cope
You've built this house of shame
This disease you promote
An infection is what we are now
I can't believe this happened
The fear starts to grab hold
Then anger starts to take over
I will not be controlled
You rape our hope
Too proud to cope
You've built this house of shame
You smile, you gloat
This disease you promote
An infection is what we are now
They're taking over now
Eating up our souls somehow
Taking over now
Parasites, they run around
The culprits won't be found
They lie behind this mask of wealth
They're taking over now
Illuminati they hide
You rape our hope
Too proud to cope
You've built this house of shame
You smile, you gloat
This disease you promote
An infection is what we are now
You rape our hope
Too proud to cope
You've built this house of shame
You smile and you gloat
This disease you promote
An infection is what we are now
The song "Illuminati" by Downlink talks about a corrupt system and how it destroys people's hope, leading to anger and eventually taking control. The lyrics start with disbelief at what's happening, questioning where people's self-control has gone and why honesty is so hard to come by. The corruption mentioned in the song takes a toll on people's lives, and they seem to have lost all hope.
The chorus of the song talks about how those in power have caused this hopelessness to spread like an infection. The system has encouraged people to be proud, but they don't know how to cope. Those in power have built a "house of shame" and promote this corrupt system with a smile on their faces. The second verse is angrier, with the singer refusing to be controlled and taking a stand against the corrupt system.
In the bridge, the lyrics say that the culprits are hidden behind a "mask of wealth," and they are taking over people's souls like parasites. The Illuminati is mentioned as the ones hiding behind the mask of wealth and power.
Overall, the song is a commentary on how those in power can create a corrupt system that destroys people's hope and control. The song is a warning about how the Illuminati and other hidden groups can infiltrate and control the world, often through manipulation, wealth, and power.
