No One Is Innocent Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ce que nous évoquions tous deux
Lorsque nous en parlions aux autres
C'était ceci:
Il faut un super-prédateur à toute chaine de prédateurs
Et il faut une conscience nette de la justice
Pour équilibrer un système aussi délicat
Aussi fragile et aussi chaotique
Qu'une écologie artificielle et humanisée

Pour choisir sans arrêt entre le bien et le mal
En élaborant des hybrides de plus en plus complexe
De bien et de mal
Comme autant de molécules chargées de répandre
Le virus de la conscience

Les shamans amérindiens, sibériens ou africains

S'approchent eux aussi de l'unité du divin
Grâce à des substances hallucinogènes et des rites psychomagiques

Overall Meaning

The song Neuromatrix by No One Is Innocent talks about the delicate balance of power and justice in a complex and artificial human ecology. The lyrics speak of a conversation between two people who agree that there needs to be a super-predator in every chain of predators, along with a clear conscience of justice to maintain a fragile and chaotic system. This delicate balance constantly chooses between good and evil while creating more complex hybrids of the two. The song compares this system to a virus that spreads consciousness.

The lyrics also reference shamanic cultures and their practice of reaching divine unity through hallucinogenic substances and psychomagic rituals. Overall, the song is about the importance of maintaining a balance in power dynamics and how consciousness can spread like a virus.
