Why Discipline Control
Dune Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I vomit when I see discipline
But unfortunately it is no sin
The military treat us like dirt
Leaving us with no one to alert
I knew this guy who went to a school
Where discipline was the most important rule
His life changed to an evil thing
And now they are flying at half mast for him

Everybody knows you're not in danger
Everybody knows you're not a stranger

I vomit when I see discipline
But unfortunately it is no sin
The military treat us like dirt
Leaving us with no one to alert
I knew this guy who went to a school
Where discipline was the most important rule
His life changed to an evil thing
And now they are flying at half mast for him

Everybody knows you're not in danger
Everybody knows you're not a stranger





Everybody knows you're not in danger
Everybody knows you're not a stranger

Overall Meaning

In "Why Discipline Control" by DĂșnĂ©, the lyrics express a strong aversion to discipline and control, particularly in reference to the military and institutionalized systems. The song suggests that although discipline is not inherently sinful, it can be problematic when taken to extremes. The singer shares their disdain for discipline by stating that they actually vomit at the sight of it. They acknowledge that discipline can be pervasive in society, specifically in the military, where individuals are treated poorly and often have no outlet for their concerns or complaints.


The song introduces a personal anecdote about someone the singer knows who attended a school where discipline was the primary rule. However, this excessive discipline had a negative impact on the person's life, turning it into something sinister. The use of the phrase "flying at half mast" suggests that this person's life has ended tragically. It implies that the strictness and rigidity of discipline can result in harm or even death.


The repetition of the lines "Everybody knows you're not in danger, Everybody knows you're not a stranger" at the end of each verse serves as a chorus, emphasizing a collective awareness that discipline does not necessarily lead to danger or unfamiliarity. This repetition reinforces the idea that the aversion to discipline in the song is not an isolated sentiment but shared among many.
