Sky Is Falling Down
Hypocrisy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sky is falling down
Sophistic energy
A crack in the core
A burning sodomy for liberty
Feel the neon dots that's tattooed in your flesh
Cause they don't want you to think in any different way
Psychotic preferences
A state of reinvent
And now the new world has just begun
Scream all you want
While they drill the holes
Lobotomy will set you free

Cyanide sacrifice
Laser beam sanctuary
Transit life, suicide
Bad dreams do come true

Sky's falling down
Pull the plug
Terminate, innocent, tranquilized
Cannot wake up

Back in the womb
Waiting for the rebirth
Tube stuck in your veins
Monitored by machines

Back in the womb
Waiting for the rebirth
Tube stuck in your veins
Monitored by machines
Electric pulses feeding your brain

Sky's falling down
Pull the plug
Terminate, innocent, tranquilized
Cannot wake up




Sky's falling down
Take me home

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hypocrisy's "Sky is Falling Down" touch on themes of constriction, control, and the manipulation of society. The opening lines "Sky is falling down, Sophistic energy, A crack in the core, A burning sodomy for liberty" suggest a world that is coming apart at the seams, but there are still elements of power and technology that maintain order. The neon dots tattooed in the flesh represent a society that wants conformity and doesn't value individuality or free thinking. The song juxtaposes these images with the idea of "psychotic preferences" and a "state of reinvent," indicating that there may be some hope for change or rebellion.


The chorus of "Sky is Falling Down" references a "cyanide sacrifice" and a "laser beam sanctuary," which could be interpreted as a means of escape or freedom from this oppressive society. However, the lines "Transit life, suicide, Bad dreams do come true" suggest that pursuing these avenues may not lead to a positive outcome. The idea of being "terminally, innocent, tranquilized" is referenced multiple times in the song, implying that even rebellion or resistance may result in a loss of humanity and autonomy. The final lines, "Back in the womb, Waiting for the rebirth, Tube stuck in your veins, Monitored by machines, Electric pulses feeding your brain," paint a picture of a dystopian future where people are stripped of their agency and are controlled by technology.
