about

This song is about a personal struggle to turn an inherently negative mind into a positive one and how that is further impacted when you start to think about all the corruption, conspiracies and lies that we face in modern life.

Most of us work too hard to even think clearly when we get home at night - and so what happens? We want to zone out and forget about our day and the world outside us and we don't want to have to forced to deal with anything else in additional to what we already have to. So we start to ignore important issues, we get caught up in celebrity gossip, drinking 10 pints on a Friday night and being spoon fed our views by the media.

But we have the Internet now and we have a world of information at our fingertips. We don't have to blindly accept what the television tells us, what our favourite newspaper tells us, or what the corrupted media tell us - we can do a bit research and make up our own minds.

lyrics

I found myself
3 years ago
Didn’t need meditation or
Any kind of control

As quick as I rose
Sliding back into despondency yeah
Nothing is permanent
But change

Do you visualise?
Do you believe you’ll make it right?
Do you think you’ll rise in spite of
The great divide
Or will you cower, cover your ears
Detach until you disappear?
This is modern life now

And the stories they tell...

You're in control
Be your best friend
Contentment is inside you
It’s not a place at the end

When I am true
To myself I find
I find
Life is my own design

Our time on Earth is short
They keep you working/drinking
You’re not thinking smart
When you’re only just surviving
Question all; our lives, their lies
They want you dumb and compromised
This is modern life now

And the stories they tell...

Even with our eyes we see different waves of energy, different reality
Everything around us is just interpretation
Are you waiting for a revelation? For the summer? For a holiday?
Or do you need to be told that death is on its way?

And the stories they tell...

We don’t need the might of fear to bless us or forbid
We know in ourselves whats good and whats destructive
We don’t need the threat of guilt to be good people
If we can’t think for ourselves, we can’t live without help
If we can’t think for ourselves, we’ll buy every story they sell
