Meta-morale
Shadow Keep Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Welcome to the pride of our super-bio-crystal
Please just take a seat, you'll need one...
You have been chosen to host our new agent
And hold the flame of the principle
That will guide humanity from now on
You ask me to smile and find a reason to accept your grime
Become a guinea pig and be part of the crime...
Enter your new master (the Meta-Morale)
A reality you can't escape
Conflicts * Seizure * Meta-Morale
Enter your new master (the Meta-Morale)
There's no way around, no way out of the pressure
Conflicts * Seizure * Meta-Morale

These walls define the sides of a physical realm of treachery
I'm locked inside a cage made of strifes
I can't remember the smells and the textures
Or even the name I'm known by
Their damn cure has left little alive

But I'll keep hoping for me that the poison inside
Succeed to destroy me, releasing my mind...

Enter your new master (the Meta-Morale)
A reality you can't escape
Conflicts * Seizure * Meta-Morale
Enter your new master (the Meta-Morale)
There's no way around, no way out of the pressure
Conflicts * Seizure * Meta-Morale

"Just a little sacrifice"
These words are worth a thousand lies

Enter your new master (the Meta-Morale)
A reality you can't escape
Conflicts * Seizure * Meta-Morale
Enter your new master (the Meta-Morale)




There's no way around, no way out of the pressure
Conflicts * Seizure * Meta-Morale

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Shadow Keep's song "Meta-Morale" seem to tell a story of a person who has been chosen to be part of an experiment involving new technology. This person is held captive, receiving medical treatment that seems to be more harmful than good. The chorus repeatedly emphasizes the idea of a new master, the Meta-Morale, enslaving the singer and causing inevitable conflict and seizure. The singer feels trapped within the physical realm in which they exist and is hoping that the poison being administered will somehow release them from their captors.


The use of scientific language, such as "super-bio-crystal" and "new agent," creates a sense of advanced technology and a scientific experiment. However, the singer seems to be questioning this supposed progress and development, voicing their mistrust of the captors who have referred to them as a "guinea pig" and their dislike of the "pressure" they are under. The repeated phrase "conflicts * seizure * meta-morale" in the chorus suggests a cycle of turmoil and control by the Meta-Morale.


The lyrics of "Meta-Morale" touch on themes of control, manipulation, and sacrifice. It's interesting to note that the song was released in 2008, with its commentary on advanced technology and its potentially dangerous effects becoming increasingly more relevant as we move further into the 21st century.
