will you walk straight? I’m not like them
to fool them in, make it seem like you’re in trouble
make a sound, fake it enough
what made you so scared?
maybe you’re mistaken for someone who cares
if you remember, remember
I’ve been trying to get back to the center
I’m sure
it’s not like it was before
to make them drink
tell them that it’s only water
no one leaves ’till we figure this out
what made you so scared?
maybe you’re mistaken for someone who cares
if you remember, remember
I’ve been trying to get back to the center
I’m sure
it’s not like it was before
patience…
both we and our words are over produced
by influence, by influence
patience…
both we and our words are over produced
by influence, by influence
I’m only asking
if you remember, remember
I’ve been trying to get back to the center
I’m sure
it’s not like it was
Act Appalled Song Meaning & Comments:
Jan 7, 2010
This is such a wicked song… I feel like I’m listening to my own internal dialog, fooling people into sympathy. I’m not sure I follow the whole thing about making them drink water but it reminds me of cults, drinking suicide juice together, interrogating someone. The end is great, both we (people) and our words are overproduced. It makes me think of population and how we turn to the media and other public figures for guidance but their messages are just powered by influence, not truth.
