Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All your hopes, all your dreams, all your ideals amount to fuck allall your hopes, all your dreams, all your ideals its all for show

What you wear, what you eat, how you act is bought and sold
What you wear, what you eat, how you act to reach a goal

I really doubt that you give a shit
A social circle and you're cut to fit wont make a difference but that's ok
Its mot like you care anyway




Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Extortion's song Uniform speaks about the meaningless, superficial nature of our societal constructs and expectations. The opening lines, "all your hopes, all your dreams, all your ideals amount to fuck all" showcase the harsh reality that despite our best efforts, our individual aspirations may not lead to any substantial progress, success, or impact. The repetition of "all your hopes, all your dreams, all your ideals, it's all for show" highlights how we may only superficially engage with our values and aspirations, treating them as mere façades for public consumption.


The second verse, "what you wear, what you eat, how you act is bought and sold, to reach a goal" describes how we often conform to societal expectations of appearance and behavior in order to achieve specific goals or fit in with societal norms. The line "I really doubt that you give a shit" suggests that the singer doesn't believe that the listener truly cares about their own values or aspirations, but instead blindly follows the expectations of their social circle. The final line "It's not like you care anyway" reinforces this lack of care or investment in individual values and aspirations.


Overall, Uniform is a critique of the superficial nature of societal expectations and the ways in which individuals may conform to them without truly considering their own values and aspirations.
