Falco Luneau Lyrics

This would be a good place
Falco Luneau is describing the world we live in as a potentially good place, but with a clearly implied 'but' to follow.

If you’d better behave
He suggests that in order to enjoy the good life, there's a set of predefined behaviors that society expects us to follow.

In an illusion you stay as you are
By conforming to society's expectations, one is living in an illusion, where they become stagnant and fixed.

On the way to become a slave
Falco sees a subtle but definite danger in this kind of conformity, where people are slowly but surely becoming enslaved by the expectations of others.

But I’m nobody’s slave
Falco himself has broken free from these constraints and will not be made subservient to others.

Tell me how you can eat this
He questions the ability of others to simply consume everything they are being told, without questioning.

All that bullshit and lies
The things that people are being told are not actually true (bullshit and lies).

You’re too entertained to understand
People are too distracted by entertainment and other diversions to understand the reality of what's going on around them.

The modern way to disguise
This new approach to deception dresses up lies and false ideas so that they appear more palatable and believable.

Just an illusion for your covered eyes
The illusions that people are living under are the only things they can see, meaning that reality is being hidden from view.

Uh uh uh nobody noticed
Falco sees a world in which people do not pay attention to these issues.

Uh uh uh nobody cares
No one is taking any action, they remain apathetic.

Uh uh uh nobody listens
Not only is nobody paying attention to the problems around them, but no one is actively seeking out or trying to understand different perspectives.

You take more than you’ll ever need
An accusation that people are too greedy and taking too much from the world.

You’ll never find what you’re looking for
By focusing exclusively on material gain, individuals will never be truly satisfied.

Your last way to win is war
Falco sees a society in which conflict is more likely than cooperation or mutual benefit.

Nobody listens
This refrain is repeated multiple times, underscoring the idea that people are not listening and not taking any action to address the problems facing the world.

The less that you give back
By taking without giving back, individuals only exacerbate the problems facing the world.

The more it will take
The more people continue to consume and live in ignorance, the worse things will become.

It’s time to open your eyes
To address these issues, people need to be willing to see the world for what it truly is.

Before it will be too late
This is a plea to everyone that the problems we face need to be addressed now before it becomes too late and there's no turning back.
