It's written to humanity, about its current situation.
But picture humanity as a middle aged, middle class professional, probably born in the 60's who lives in a nice house in a nice town, village or suburb.
They've lived through the most free and prosperous time in modern history by far. Everything has come quite easy to them and, so far, that seems set to continue. They (still!?!?!) believe they'll get "back to normal" soon if everybody just follows the rules, and takes the vaccine, etc like them.
About lockdown and the covid restrictions this person might say "I'm fine with what the government has done... my life is fine and I approve of every step the government has taken". They might even say that government didn't do enough or acted too slowly. FFS...
Such people have completely taken western freedoms for granted. Most of them still don't realise or care what it will mean to lose them.
They have been turned into dumb animals, and perhaps this is largely because they're been spoilt. They had it too easy.
"Dumbed down and softened so long, they don't think that tyranny's wrong." to quote another song.
I kind of wondered: why WERE the populations of western countries allowed this human lifetime's worth of relative freedom and prosperity?
Well, I wonder if it was partly to soften them up mentally and morally....
perhaps so that they wouldn't realise that they were helping to build a permanent technological infrastructure that would guarantee their enslavement.
Or, to put it more simply, they were given a few treats to keep them happy, productive and compliant while they were...
Building Their Own Prison.
Enjoy
lyrics
Nice house and car
Holidays afar
Blinging like a star
Used to hanging in a bar
Nice pension pot
Feel a big shot
Think you’ve got a lot
Big blind spot
Curtain’s been pulled back and on yourself,
you were paving the way for an attack!
Chorus
You were building your own prison
You were building your own prison
You were building your own prison
You were building your own prison
Verse 2
Life seemed sweet
Toys you thought you’d keep
What objective did they meet?
Kept you asleep
You had no beef with the state
You thought it was your mate
But its intrusions won’t abate
And now its checkmate – and you’ve lost
Your freedom was illusory.
Just while you worked on your enslavement, you see
Chorus
You were building your own prison
You were building your own prison
You were building your own prison
You were building your own prison
Spoken:
All possessions will be surrendered to your regional authority for safekeeping on behalf of the new global government, representing the interests of the planet. Wildlife, hedgehogs and things, not you! Your loving government will own everything. Yes, that even includes your body – no more informed consent, we’ll put what we want into you. You’ll keep nothing. Literally nothing, but you’ll be happy!
Why can’t you understand, prisoner? This is all for your safety!
We’ve got a clever one here. Solitary confinement, and give him a jab of that new vaccine. That’ll shut him up.
Verse 3
Put you under a spell
So you’d help to build hell
Knew you’d never tell
Before your death knell
Years of spin spun
Collectivism’s won
This is no dry run
Global communism’s come
The goose gets fat before it’s plucked
Humans buy lies before they get
Massively
Chorus
Put in prison
You were building your own prison
You were building your own prison
You were building your own prison
Spoken:
It was so easy to build it… you did it in your sleep!
You had a nice dream while you were building it. Now you have to live in it.
Massive own goal. Massive fail.
It’s mainly a prison of the mind though. Built from your trust and belief in politicians, governments, and authority.
Everyone knows that it’s always scumbags and psychopaths who rise to the tops of governments, and then of course they abuse the power we give them.
And we know normal people can and will do horrific things to each other on an unthinkable scale, because they succumb to brainwashing that goes against common sense and basic morality and gets them to all turn on and police and even kill each other, all based on lies, spin and propaganda from governments.
And yet somehow, the possibility of history repeating seems to be of no concern at all to most people, even though everything is clearly lined up and it is all descending right now.
Since 2020 I've been writing songs (mainly rock music) about the "pandemic", The Great Reset, the WEF, 4IR, Lockdowns,
Informed Consent, Mass Compliance, the Depopulation Agenda, and other bullshit.
