DYSTOPIA
Sinew Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The 21st century stands under the code of oppression
Not free will but the rules of free markets will determine our lives
It is the era of a system that just works out for the rich
There's nothing rational about this economical rationality
Where men become numbers - division, subtraction
I can't see any empathy in this equation, can you?

In a world designed by think tanks
They will tell us the only solution is to become modern slaves
For the ones who don't want to share

And we will fall into disgrace
It's the end of our vanity
And this world will change its face
It's the end of humanity

Millions who live in poverty guaranty the luxury of some chosen ones
Dependency will hold them down
Everyone will obey the rules of egoism
When solidarity is gone

Majorities criminalized under the law of Big Brother
The state justifies its existence
By fighting victims of its own making
Under the decree of capital

Remember what they told us
What they promised
A world of growing wealth
Where no one suffers
Remember all these lies
Bow down to serve their god
To bury our right to
Self-determination

The die is cast
The fiend is uncovered
The scale of power has climbed a higher level
And still it's not too late to go against it
To leave the numbness behind
Let them know we are here




Let them know we're aware
Let them know we are against

Overall Meaning

The song "Dystopia" by Sinew is a commentary on the oppressive nature of the economic system in the 21st century. The lyrics describe a world where free will is subordinate to the rules of the free market, leading to a system that disproportionately benefits the rich. The song paints a bleak picture of humanity's future, with poverty, dependency, and egoism becoming the norm. The Big Brother-like state criminalizes its own citizens to justify its existence, and the idea of solidarity becomes a thing of the past.


The lyrics also touch upon the idea of false promises. The singer remembers a time when they were told that the world would continue to grow in wealth, with no one left to suffer. However, these promises were revealed to be lies, and the true nature of the system, which prioritizes the wealthy, is uncovered. The song ends on a note of defiance, with the singer calling on others to stand up against the system and let their voices be heard.


Overall, "Dystopia" is a powerful critique of modern society and the economic system that governs it. It highlights the dangers of putting profit over people and the consequences of allowing the powerful to maintain control over society.
