Myopic Utopia
Screaming Mechanical Brain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As they flowed with the blood
Of the nonbelievers, liars, and deceivers
But now the party's over; stand still and silent
With your face to the corner
While we create order for
You, not us, we do as we please
'Cause that's what you wanted. Enjoy your
Stinking sensation nobody's feeling yet
Four, three, two, one
This has only just begun
To drain you dry
The world is a dark and scary place
Without the light of a higher power
To guide the little people
So trusting and faithful far far away
From their own best interest to
Nullify the collective unconscious ??? motherfucker
Burn and hide that grin of smug oblivion
Stinking sensation nobody's feeling yet
No one lives past the first step of the master plan
The lyrics to Screaming Mechanical Brain's song Myopic Utopia are very intense and thought-provoking. The first verse portrays a violent and sadistic society where people celebrate the killing of those who disagree with them. However, the singer suggests that the party is over, and now the people who were once reveling in the bloodshed must face consequences. They are forced to stand still, and they are being controlled and ordered. The person or group controlling them are doing what they want, and they don't care about the little people.
In the second verse, the lyrics touch on the idea of a higher power to guide people. The singer suggests that people need guidance, but they are being manipulated by those with power. The people are encouraged to nullify their collective subconscious and to hide their smug grins of oblivion. The phrase "no one lives past the first step of the master plan" is used to emphasize the idea that the controlling entity does not care for their well-being and will dispose of them once they have done what they were intended.
The lyrics to Myopic Utopia are a commentary on the darker aspects of society in terms of power and control. The song is very thought-provoking and leaves the listener questioning the nature of control and why people allow themselves to be controlled.
Line by Line Meaning
How we danced in the streets
We reveled in the chaos and violence we caused in the streets
As they flowed with the blood
As the blood of those we deemed unworthy spilled
Of the nonbelievers, liars, and deceivers
Of those who did not believe, those who lied, and those who deceived
But now the party's over; stand still and silent
But now the fun is over and you must stand quietly
With your face to the corner
With your face turned away from us, in shame
While we create order for
While we impose our order on you
You, not us, we do as we please
We do as we please, to you, not us
'Cause that's what you wanted. Enjoy your
Because that's what you asked for. Enjoy your
Nothing big fat grin of smug oblivion
Empty, self-satisfied grin of ignorance
Stinking sensation nobody's feeling yet
Disgusting feeling that hasn't yet been felt
Four, three, two, one
Countdown to destruction
This has only just begun
The worst is yet to come
To drain you dry
To completely deplete and destroy you
The world is a dark and scary place
The world is a frightening and dangerous place
Without the light of a higher power
Without the guidance of a divine force
To guide the little people
To lead the unaware and powerless
So trusting and faithful far far away
So far away, trusting and blindly faithful
From their own best interest to
Unaware of their own interests
Nullify the collective unconscious ??? motherfucker
Suppress the shared knowledge and awareness
Burn and hide that grin of smug oblivion
Hide your ignorant and self-satisfied smile
Stinking sensation nobody's feeling yet
Disgusting feeling that hasn't yet been felt
No one lives past the first step of the master plan
Nobody survives the first phase of our scheme
