Brave New World Lyrics – STARSET

[Verse 1]
Eye for eye, we cross this divide
One for one, into our demise
It’s a parasitic trend, looking for a victim
Stuck inside a hivemind fantasy
But the static in your head is a feature of the system
Just another digital lobotomy

[Chorus]
And when it all blows up, the sun will still be shining
And when it all falls down, you think you’ll still pretend?
I got a feeling, in the end, you might be lying
So tell me, are you happy now?
Living in the upside-down
Giving it a whirl
It’s a brave new fu*king world

[Post-Chorus]
Oh

[Verse 2]
(Nihilistic) Rage
You think you’re enemies, but you’re all the same
So maybe it’s just you
And the monsters tried, and they got inside
But they weren’t under your bed
They’re in your brains
Manipulating you

[Chorus]
And when it all blows up, the sun will still be shining
And when it all falls down, you think you’ll still pretend?
I got a feeling, in the end, you might be lying
So tell me, are you happy now?
Living in the upside-down
Giving it a whirl
It’s a brave new fu*king world

[Bridge]
The bigger the lie, the further it goes
It’s all fun and games ’til the overthrow
When it gets inside and it starts to grow
Then say goodbye ’cause that’s the death blow
But I’m not giving up that easy
I’m not giving up my mind
‘Cause the more that you try, the more that they need
There’s nowhere to hide when they break out the guillotine

[Breakdown]
Break out the guillotine
When they break out the guillotin
uillotine

[Chorus]
And when it all blows up, the sun will still be shining
And when it all falls down, you think you’ll still pretend?
I got a feeling, in the end, you might be lying
So tell me, are you happy now?
Living in the upside-down
Giving it a whirl
It’s a brave new fu*king world

[Verse 1]
The lyrics depict a world where people are consumed by a self-destructive cycle of retaliation and conformity. The imagery of crossing a divide and the mention of a parasitic trend suggest a society plagued by division and a relentless pursuit of victimhood. The line “stuck inside a hivemind fantasy” highlights the loss of individuality and critical thinking, while “digital lobotomy” suggests the numbing effect of technology on human consciousness.

[Chorus]
The chorus reflects on the resilience of nature despite human turmoil, juxtaposing the enduring presence of the sun with the facade of pretending everything is fine. It questions whether individuals are truly content in a world turned upside-down by societal pressures and manipulation, labeling it as a “brave new world,” sarcastically acknowledging the bleak reality beneath the surface.

[Post-Chorus]
The repetition of “Oh” serves as a brief musical interlude, possibly indicating a moment of reflection or realization amid the chaos described in the song.

[Verse 2]
The lyrics delve into the theme of nihilism, suggesting that despite perceived differences, individuals are ultimately similar and susceptible to manipulation. The mention of monsters metaphorically infiltrating the mind emphasizes the insidious nature of societal control, highlighting how thoughts and beliefs can be influenced without one’s awareness.

[Chorus]
Similar to the previous chorus, this iteration reinforces the idea that despite upheaval and deception, the natural world remains constant, questioning whether individuals can truly find happiness amidst societal turmoil and manipulation.

[Bridge]
The bridge delves deeper into the consequences of deception and manipulation, illustrating how lies can escalate and ultimately lead to destruction. The metaphor of the guillotine symbolizes the consequences of allowing falsehoods to proliferate unchecked, urging listeners to resist the manipulation and hold onto their autonomy.

[Breakdown]
This section emphasizes the urgency of the message, repeating the word “guillotine” to drive home the gravity of the situation and the need to confront societal deceit and manipulation.

[Chorus]
The final chorus echoes the earlier sentiments, emphasizing the contrast between the enduring sun and the chaotic world constructed on lies and manipulation. It challenges listeners to confront their own complicity in perpetuating a distorted reality and to question whether true happiness can be found in such a world.
