Sinisstar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

White noise
You know it's never the right choice with idiot-box talk
Just slamming the shit
A backlash with an alien contract
They're making their contacts
Embrace your city

I'm not going down
I'm taking over
Turn me around
Before you chill me

Ratrace
Coming from outta the grave
Their taking over the airwaves
To put you in chains
In that case
I'm backing up my shit
I think I'm over it
You better brace your city

I'm not going down
I'm taking over
Turn me around
Then take me over

Don't blow me away
Don't learn how to lie
Just throw me away
And open my eyes




Don't blow me away
Just show me the way

Overall Meaning

Sinisstar's song White Noise is a criticism of mass media and its impact on modern society. The opening lines of the song refer to the mindless chatter that comes from the television set, which is often referred to as the "idiot-box talk." The lyrics speak about the negative effects of this type of talk, which often lacks substance and is contradictory, leaving the listener confused and unable to make informed decisions. The song suggests that instead of mindlessly accepting what we are told, we should seek out new experiences and information.


The song also touches on themes of control and power. The line "A backlash with an alien contract, They're making their contacts" suggests that those who control the media have some sinister agenda. The imagery of "chains" and "taking over" suggests that the media's power causes people to become slaves to it, unable to think for themselves.


In the end, the song is a call to arms, encouraging listeners to take back control of their lives and cities. The line "Embrace your city" suggests that by taking ownership of our surroundings and actively engaging with our communities, we can break free from the cycle of mindless consumption and regain our freedom.
