It is well known that the media seeds their narrative via popular mediums. In this song and accompanying music video, INCUBUS tells us of the impending doom brought on through the very media we have grown to trust. Read the lyrics below then enjoy the music video.
Take a bow
Pack on powder
Wash ’em out with buzzing lights
Pay an au–Di-ence to care
Impress me personality
Still in transfixed heeps
The electric sheep are dreaming of your face
Enjoy you from
The chemical
Comfort of América
Come one come all
Into 1984
Ya 3 2 1
Lights! camera! transaction!
Quick your time
Is almost up
Make all forget that they’re the moth
Edging in
Toward the flame – burn into obscurity
Still in transfixed heeps
The electric sheep are dreaming of your fate
We judge you from
The card castle
Comfort of América
Come one come all
Into 1984
Ya 3 2 1
Lights! camera! yeah!
Come one come all
Into 1984
Ya 3 2 1
Lights! camera! transaction!
Lights! camera! transaction!
Oh
Come one come all
Into 1984
Ya 3 2 1
Lights! camera! transaction!
Ho
Your foundation
Is canyoning
Fault lines should be worn with pride
I hate to say it
You’re so much more
You’re so much more
Endearing with
The sound turned off
“Art imitates life.”
Here we are ‘transfixed heeps, the electric sheep’ — well, us as in humanity, probably not you specifically seeing as you’ve gotten this far through the article.
Our purpose for showing this type of material is to unveil how mainstream media perpetually tells us the intention of what is to come. Baked into entertainment, it becomes a popular tune or lyric that is easily recited, even chanted. It is intentionally hypnotic. Something we sing to while cruising down the road on another long trip.
By doing so, we are effectively manifesting that which they have embedded. However, if we know the trick is being played, if we are aware of the manipulation at play, we can doing something about it.
See what we did there?
If you read the intro to this piece and read the lyrics and watched the music video while listening to the song, you were already aware of the ruse being played. Even more so, you are aware of it because you were awake before getting to Truth Trench.
The point being, when you are awake it is near impossible to go back into hibernation because it would mean turning yourself back into a mindless slave. In reality, the symbolism being used around all of us is near impossible to miss, but it requires self education.
If you are not at least aware of the book “1984” and subsequent movie, having tried to portray in visual that which has captivated the mind by text. “The book is always better than the movie.” If you are not at least aware of “Animal Farm” in the common canon of literature provided to all of us, you don’t have a base understanding of the material being presented, you cannot fully understand the lyrics of the song and the visuals. It requires knowing things that are manifestos of fiction to understand the meaning of the song as a warning. By the way, it’s all a distraction. Clever isn’t it?
Auditory, visual, kinesthetic learning, practical application… this is how humans learn and habituate.
We are habitually distracted by the very media that is embedding the manifestation of it’s desired end state. Humanity has been tricked into enjoying it’s own demise.
Share this and all of our work at Truth Trench with your network. The more we are all aware of the real world around us, the more we are able to combat the threats posed to us all.
