Текст Meshuggah – Dancers To A Discordant System (Live)

Listen to the hidden tune
— The essence of lies in notes defined
As we dance to the dissonant sway
— The choreography refined

Blooded hands lead the waltz
We’re trapped in the out of tune swirl
Still we set the show on continue mode
And dance to a discordant system

We accept the nails we’re fed
— Lies sharpened to bleed us silent
Muted from the pains
Defiance employed in vain
Any attempts to leave the dance,
Invisibly suppressed
Questions unasked, we learn learn the steps
— Eyes shut like all the rest

Unsuspecting, willing, blind, controllable herd
Pawns in a covert game conducted by hands we trust
Dominated, compliant and deceptable
Confident that we matter — we don’t see that we’re but dust

Committed to a lie we cannot see, cannot know nor comprehend
We’re all asinine drones kept in the dark, kept in line

Confined, Bereft of reason
Withering in toxicity
— The deadly fumes of deceit
And we all reek of complicity

We dance — to appease
Compete in stupidity

Obscured faces file our points
— Numbers fed to the machine
Still we stand in line for the next show
The human spine liquefied
What are we, but stupefied
Dancers to a discordant system

We believe — so we’re misled
We assume — so we’re played
We confide — so we’re deceived
We trust — so we’re betrayed
