Point of No Return Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pleasant images are given, influence is hidden
An apathetic society rejects the reality
The masses accept lies as facts
An apparent freedom that makes you believe in illusion.
An unreal life that leads to mind confusion,
Creating and killing desires and needs,
Determining your fate when you think you're free
Your mind is raped
Your thoughts are killed and violated
A fraud allowed by a devilish government
That spreads twisted messages to gain political power
Brainwashing !
Deliberate fascism!
Pleasant images are given
Influence is hidden
An apathetic society rejects the reality
The masses accept lies as facts
Never confronted with real information,
You're forced to feed sickening corporations
Develop a critical mind
Search for the truth
Overcome your blindness
Unmask the false hood
The lyrics of Seduction by Point of No Return are a commentary on the power of advertising and mass media to deceive and manipulate people. The opening line references being sedated by TV ads, which is a metaphor for how people are lulled into a false sense of security by the pleasant images and messages they see on their screens. The song suggests that this influence is hidden, and that an apathetic society rejects the reality of the situation. The masses accept lies as facts, and are made to believe in an apparent freedom that is nothing more than an illusion.
The lyrics go on to describe the dangers of an unreal life that leads to mind confusion, creating and killing desires and needs, and determining one's fate when they think they're free. The song suggests that people's identities are stolen, their minds are raped, and their thoughts are killed and violated by a fraud allowed by a devilish government. This government spreads twisted messages to gain political power, brainwashing the population and engaging in deliberate fascism.
