Plague Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Morals have all gone by the wayside - And my neighbourhood is now full of freaks
I m getting sick of this shit it s so fake - Disillusioned again
Nothing is quite as it seems - The streets are full of pretenders
Trying to get ahead of the rat race - Now every one's got attitudes
Instead of just being themselves - Temptation will be your best friend
As it passes you on to fate, ha, ha, ha
So sick of this, it s more than a weakness - It s a disease
I gotta learn not to care - Not give a fuck.
Generations are confused and lost - Influenced by all walks of life
But I only listen to me - I m the only one I can trust
It s getting a little out of hand - I think I'm losing control
My demons are rising again - Like vultures they circle my head
Ripping and tearing at the ties of depression - In my world,
Releasing the tension is out of the question - So don t ask
Ripping and tearing at the ties of depression - In my world, my world
Releasing the tension is out of the question - So don t ask
Don t ask, don t - In need of explanation here
Confused, deranged - Like a rat in a cage
Inside my self there s some one else - Confused, deranged
Like a rat in a cage - I didn t do this to my fucking self
Confused, deranged - Ripping and tearing at the ties of depression
In my world - Releasing the tension is out of the question
So don t ask - I m not the one to hear the voice
Cause I don t talk to myself - Two minds are fused dispute
That both of them are me - Inside myself
There s someone else
The lyrics to Plague's song "Fusion" touch on the feeling of being lost and disillusioned in today's society. The singer is struggling to keep up with the fast-paced rat race and is surrounded by people who are putting on false personas. They feel like they are losing control and their inner demons are starting to take over.
The first verse speaks to the singer's frustration with the fake attitudes and personas that seem to be everywhere in their neighborhood. They are feeling disconnected and disillusioned with their surroundings. The second verse reflects the singer's desire to break free from the influence of those around them and to trust only themselves. But even within themselves, they feel like there is a battle going on, as they are struggling with confusion and depression.
The chorus repeats the idea of the singer's inner demons tearing at them and the futility of trying to release the tension. The final verse speaks to the idea that the singer may have multiple personalities or conflicting thoughts within themselves, causing them to feel like they are not in control of their own mind.
Overall, the song highlights the struggle to maintain a sense of self in a world that seems to be pushing people further and further from their true selves.
