Once you see the symbols.....you see them EVERYWHERE.

My daughter is 15, and she had me watch this. Watch it with the subtitles on so you can read the lyrics and see the symbolism at the same time. She is just straight up telling everyone in this video. The lyrics are listed below with my comments in parentheses & highlighted, there was so much in these lyrics, just read the whole thing, it is crazy how it is so obvious. The video even highlights how they mesmerized us with the television. WOW

Lyrics

Are we crazy?

Living our lives through a lens

Trapped in our white-picket fence

Like ornaments

So comfortable, we're livin' in a bubble, a bubble (we are living in a closed system)

So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, the trouble (we are comfortable with our bread and circus so we can't see the truth - just read the rest of the lyrics, this is crazy and so in our faces but many can't see it)

Aren't you lonely up there in Utopia?

Where nothing will ever be enough

Happily numb

So comfortable, we're livin' in a bubble, a bubble

So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, the trouble (aha)

So put your rose-colored glasses on

And party on (woo)

Turn it up, it's your favorite song

Dance, dance, dance to the distortion

Turn it up, keep it on repeat

Stumbling around like a wasted zombie

Yeah, we think we're free (aha)

Drink, this one's on me

We're all chained to the rhythm

To the rhythm, to the rhythm

Turn it up, it's your favorite song

Dance, dance, dance to the distortion

Turn it up, keep it on repeat

Stumbling around like a wasted zombie

Yeah, we think we're free (aha)

Drink, this one's on me

We're all chained to the rhythm

To the rhythm, to the rhythm

Are we tone deaf?

Keep sweeping it under the mat

Thought we could do better than that

I hope we can

So comfortable, we're livin' in a bubble, a bubble

So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, the trouble (aha)

So put (so put)

Your rose-colored glasses on

And party on (woo)

Turn it up, it's your favorite song

Dance, dance, dance to the distortion

Turn it up, keep it on repeat

Stumbling around like a wasted zombie

Yeah, we think we're free (aha)

Drink, this one's on me

We're all chained to the rhythm

To the rhythm, to the rhythm

Turn it up, it's your favorite song

Dance, dance, dance to the distortion

Turn it up, keep it on repeat

Stumbling around like a wasted zombie

Yeah, we think we're free (aha)

Drink, this one's on me

We're all chained to the rhythm

To the rhythm, to the rhythm (woah-oh-oh)

It is my desire

Break down the walls to connect, inspire

Ayy, up in your high place, liars

Time is ticking for the empire

The truth they feed is feeble

As so many times before

The greed of all the people

They stumbling and fumbling

And we about to riot

They woke up, they woke up the lions (woo)

Turn it up, it's your favorite song (hey-oh-oh)

Dance, dance, dance to the distortion

Turn it up, keep it on repeat

Stumbling around like a wasted zombie (like a wasted zombie)

Yeah, we think we're free (aha)

Drink, this one's on me

We're all chained to the rhythm

To the rhythm, to the rhythm (we're all chained to the rhythm)

It goes on, and on, and on (turn it up)

(It goes) It goes on, and on, and on (turn it up)

(It goes on, and on, and on, and on)

It goes on, and on, and on (on, and on, and on)

'Cause we're all chained to the rhythm
