Hypnotized
Kaktus Einarsson Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are the children scared?
Do they belong with us here?
They do not bow their heads to the plan, nor adjust to the broken scam.
How have I lost my fears?
The ones that used to be there. Is it a state I can't escape
a place where no one cares.
Baby, we're hypnotized. and spent most of our lives trying to feel alive
scam of a paradise.

All we want is to get rich,
while we wait for the next apocalypse. You see the blue line as I do
settling down into no-man's truth.
It always stays the same
if you believe and obey.
You can do everything half-way and still have your holiday.
Have we been hypnotized to give up on our lives only to feel alive
stuck in a paradise.

Baby, we're hypnotized. and spent most of our lives trying to feel alive.
Scam of a paradise.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kaktus Einarsson's song "Hypnotized" deal with themes of conformity, fear, and disillusionment in modern society. The opening lines ask whether the children are scared and whether they belong with us here. This suggests a sense of unease or discomfort about the world we have created, and whether it is a safe or desirable place for future generations.

The next lines continue this theme, with the children refusing to bow their heads to the plan or adjust to the broken scam. This could be interpreted as a critique of the expectations and pressures placed on young people in modern society, and a call for greater individuality and creativity.

The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "baby, we're hypnotized", suggesting that we as a society are in a kind of trance or daze, unable to break free of our patterns of behavior and thought. The lyrics go on to question our motivations for seeking wealth and security, and suggest that we are living in a scam of a paradise, stuck in a cycle of waiting for the next apocalypse.

Overall, the lyrics to "Hypnotized" offer a bleak but thought-provoking commentary on contemporary society, and paint a picture of a world in which fear and conformity are the norm.
