15 Minutes
The T4 Project Lyrics

Flash bulb
Intense brightness which illuminates for a short duration

Snapshot
A photograph capturing a moment in time

Sure thing
A guaranteed occurrence or situation

Dead spot
An area without reception or coverage, devoid of life

A porno for the people's hungry eyes
Graphic content which indulges the public's desires for excitement

News clip
A brief report or portion of recorded news broadcast

Brain dead
Physiologically unresponsive, lacking in cognitive function

Televised
Broadcasted on television, made available to a wide audience

Hatred
Intense, enduring animosity towards an individual or group

I'm staring through a void I don't recognize
I am viewing from a perspective of emptiness which is unfamiliar

Static begins to pulse a little harder
Disordered sound or visual output increases in intensity

As helicopters fill your pretty head
As a symbol of surveillance permeates your thoughts and emotions

We see things you'll never see through
We perceive and comprehend aspects of existence beyond your experience

Shiny black eyes that always know
Discerning eyes which possess insight and awareness

Static!
An expression of interference or confusion

Oh here we go into the unknown again (Will you bring it back down)
Beginning a journey or exploration with uncertainty, seeking anchoring or grounding

Static!
An expression of interference or confusion

Static! (Bring it back down real slow)
Retreating gradually from interference or confusion to clarity

Show me that you care
Demonstrate genuine compassion or concern for a cause or issue

All of this means nothing
None of this has significant value or importance

So let's find a way to (Break it all down)
Discover an approach to deconstructing or dismantling this situation or system

Break it all down
Disassemble or disrupt the structures and norms which perpetuate injustice or inequality

And we'll find another way
Exploring and creating alternative solutions to this issue

Crashed my car just to watch it burn
Purposefully destroying something of personal value for the shock value or spectacle

And I broke myself on the modern world
Suffered emotional or physical damage as a result of contemporary societal pressures and expectations

I don't believe
Rejecting or doubting the reliability or truth of something

And I'll resolve myself (just fine)
Committing to finding resolution and remaining emotionally or mentally stable despite challenges

Well, I lost my mind
Suffered a mental breakdown or temporary insanity

When I learned to see
Being exposed to or comprehending something previously unknown or ignored

The whole world's open in front of me
The immense potential and possibilities of the entire universe lay before me

I prophesize the white-noise lies
Predicting the deception and confusion propagated by the mass media and other authorities

The delivery of the people's hearts and minds
The systematic programming and manipulation of public opinion and emotion

We're under a sky falling
Existing under the threat of impending danger or catastrophe

Falling
Uncontrollably moving towards demise or destruction

Downed satellite
A technological device incapable of performing its intended function

Unblinking eyes surround me
Fearful or ominous symbols of supervision, surveillance or scrutiny are everywhere

I walked all night to another part of town I'd never been before
Embarked on an expedition to a novel area of life without a clear sense of direction or purpose

And I saw America
Encountered and witnessed the realities and complexities of the entire nation

Bleeding in the streets, forgiven, and obese
Society exhibiting a state of critical health crisis, yet warranting more empathy than criticism

Side effects rise, pharmaceutical lives
The generation of negative by-products resulting from the medical and pharmaceutical industries' dominant model of treatment and care

Here we are (bleeding in the streets, bleeding in the streets)
The current situation is dire and demands attention and intervention

America (Here we are, America)
The nation's identity and character are reflected in the current status and trajectory

Here we are, America (Oh, oh-oh, oh)
Emphasizing the significance of the current moment as a collective part of national identity

(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
An expression of emotional resonance and connection
