The lyrics to Sean Nicholas Savage's "Propaganda" seem to reflect on a sense of rebellion against societal norms and expectations. The opening lines "Get yer heart screamin, yer body dreamin, make yer money bleed, propaganda" suggest a call to action, to advocate for what people believe in and to fight for their passions. The reference to propaganda implies a sense of manipulation from external sources trying to sway people's beliefs, but the lyrics suggest that it is up to individuals to form their own opinions and to stay true to themselves.
The following lines "the truth is so shy, n maybe i love it, maybe u love it too, all the trippy things propaganda" suggest that there is a fear of the truth not being accepted by society, but that people still find comfort and pleasure in the eccentric and psychedelic nature of life. The reference to playing games suggests that there are power dynamics at play, but staying open-minded and open-hearted can help people navigate these challenges.
The chorus, "c’mon boys, c’mon girls, wild n free, u ain’t country r ya? maybe i want it so badly, everything in the world, wild n free, u ain’t country, ‘im a freak, wild n free, i’m not a country’" seems to reinforce the idea that being yourself and embracing your individuality, even if it goes against societal expectations, is important. The repeated line "wild n free, u ain't country" may suggest a rejection of traditional values and a desire to break free from constraints. Overall, the lyrics seem to encourage people to think for themselves, stay true to their passions, and not be afraid to break free from societal expectations.
