Faction Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Goes beyond you wildest dream
The know of you horrid fear, you know they're what they seem
Disagree with what they say and do, you'll have to pay the price
In the night they'll come and get you
You can't put up a fight
Room 101, the place of your fear
What will you do to get out of there
The secret police aren't so secret no more, you feel their sadistic greed
Room 101 is the next door
Torturous, inhuman deeds
They've got you now, you're in a fix, you're strapped into a chair
They make you wait to build suspense, their ways were never fair
You'll remain on the brink of death but they won't let you die
The day that you're allowed to leave you'll be part of their lie.
The lyrics to Faction's song Room 101 depict a dystopian society where the ruling powers have created a room for those who do wrong. This room goes beyond what anyone could imagine and is a place of fear for anyone who disagrees with the rulers. If one disagrees with what they say or do, they will have to pay the ultimate price of being taken to Room 101. This room is described as a place of fear, where torturous and inhuman deeds are performed on those who have been taken there.
The song describes the process of being taken to Room 101, how one is strapped into a chair and made to wait to deliberately build suspense. The lyrics suggest that the day one is allowed to leave Room 101, they will have become a part of their lie. This song seems to allude to a society where the ruling powers use fear and torture to keep the citizens under control, and dissenters are punished severely. The lyrics are powerful and speak to the fear of being taken to a place where all your worst fears are realized.
