Lyrics "Shadows"

I've done my best to understand left n right politically... I push for more an examination and excel of truth... whatever that is... what i really want is what they would call a pipe dream...

Are we awake now
In the villainous plot
Chasing our shadows
Engorged in the rot
Too safe and Too sorry
Cancelled and Culled
Called upon all these problems
Of the world that once was

Am I just a shadow
Cause you can't hear me scream
There's no reaction to my truth
But when I lie theres a sheen
Glistening in solace
Like a child in bloom
Silent you whisper the violence
Manipulate and consume

Are we chasing shadows
Away?
Are we chasing shadows
Away...

Live in the ignorance
Live in the dream
The one of a prison heads making

These shackles are noisy
Bright light in the room
My shadow it warns me
Of glorified doom
No opinions no choices
Dictation in drag
Communism in dress up
Socialism in the bag

An the only issue really is we
Don't know what the f*** we want
They tell us what we do
And rarely we give it a second thought!

Think for yourself x3

Are we chasing shadows
Away?
Are we chasing shadows
Away...

No I won't be youre servant
Come on shadow
Come out and play x3

Author's Note

By "they" i mean the establishment, those in power who tell you the John Lennon vision is impossible... more because of humanity's primal instinct... I guess I'm just hopeful when I jot down these things in the heat of thought.
