Ignorant People
Void Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Call yourselves number 1, ha ha, we laugh in your face
You're just another society, you require acceptance too
Think you're individuals - but you're really one in the same

You're just ignorant people - you hide behind your name [x2]

Started out alright, but you got lost in the race
Prostituted your mind, now you don't control yourself
What is left in you? Now you can't find a trace

Call yourselves number 1, ha ha, we laugh in your faces




You're just another society, you require acceptance too
Think you're individuals - But you really are

Overall Meaning

Set in a confrontational tone, Void's song "Ignorant People" criticizes those who claim themselves to be superior and individualistic, but in reality, are just conforming to societal expectations. The lyrics mockingly dismiss their self-proclaimed number one status and laugh in their faces. The song highlights the irony of these individuals seeking acceptance while pretending to be unique.


The lyrics suggest that these people have lost their way in a competitive world, sacrificing their true selves in the pursuit of success. They have become slaves to societal pressures, prostituting their minds and losing control over their own thoughts and actions. The line "What is left in you? Now you can't find a trace" indicates that they have become disconnected from their authentic selves.

By equating them to ignorant people, the song suggests that their ignorance lies in their failure to recognize their own conformity and lack of genuine individuality.


Overall, the song serves as a critique of those who blindly follow society's expectations and highlights the importance of staying true to oneself amidst external pressures.
