War On Error
Rotersand Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is not my world
This is not my life
This is not my decision

This is not my future
This is not my past
It's not my reality
It cannot last
It cannot last

Citizens of the world, in these times the future of mankind is at stake.
We must not refrain from responsibility, but boldly take
Any measure necessary to ensure the survival of the fittest.
To sustain order and to increase our economic, social and mental efficiency,
We've got to make sure, that we can rely on your cooperation in providing
Any requested data in a structured, detailed and predictable manner.
To eliminate any irregularities that may compromise flawless operation,
We have declared war on error. so be warned:
Random is resistance! - I repeat: random is resistance!

It's my life
It's my mind
It's my heart
- not a digit

It's my flesh
It's my blood
It's my bone
- not a digit

It's my faith
It's my will
It's my dream
- not a digit

It's my voice
It's my beat




It's my soul
- not a digit

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rotersand's song War On Error can be interpreted as a commentary on the control and manipulation of individuals by larger societal institutions. The repeated phrase "this is not" emphasizes the singer's sense of detachment, emphasizing that they do not feel that they have agency or control over their own life. The second stanza shifts the focus to the "citizens of the world," and introduces a message of propaganda that promotes conforming and following orders as a means of survival. The declaration of war on error implies the complete erasure of opposition and criticism, promoting a homogenized society where individuality is discouraged. The final stanza lists physical and emotional elements that are innate to the singer as opposed to being a digit, which may represent the digitization and dehumanization of individuals.

on All These Moments

I'm sitting still, the shadows climb across the walls and memories creep in.
Another day there world is bleak but I did not surrender to the void within.
The play is done, the lights are down.
The quiet stage is set again. There's no one left but still the fading echoes of your voice remains.
Living by the moment, living by the rules. Another day forgotten, another day to lose.
Living by the moment. Living by the rules. Slowly getting better, getting over you.
Living by the moment, living by the rules.
Another day forgotten, another day to lose.
Living by the moment, living by the rules.
Slowly getting better, getting over you.
On my own, on your own.
Got to learn to sleep alone.
On my own, on your own.
Got to learn to wake alone.
On my own, on your own.
Got to learn to weep alone.
On my own, on your own.
Learning not to break alone.
Living by the moment, living by the rules.
Another day forgotten, another day to lose.
Living by the moment, living by the rules.
Slowly getting better, getting over you."
