With the world becoming more and more a dystopian nightmare, I think Dystopia is very fitting
If weâre in a simulation
This could be an indication
Maybe they should turn it off and
Turn it back on again
Full Lyrics
Are we lost in the night?
In a world lit just by gaslight
We pretend that we canât feel (The spiral)
Growing into something real (Arrival)
If weâre in a simulation
This could be an indication
Maybe they should turn it off and
Turn it back on again (Prepare for the end)
(Three, two, one, oh)
Batten down the f*cking hatches
This is what you get when you still play with matches
Now we go back to sticks, back to stones
'Cause the words broke our bones and weâre
Right back to the same old habits
Too bad we almost had it
Dystopia
Dystopia
Abandon mission
Theyâve jammed the systems
Weâve done all we can
Itâs a braindead wasteland
We donât need your education
We just need more stimulation
Fuel for our obliteration
Setting it all aglow (Itâs gonna blow)
Batten down the f*cking hatches
This is what you get when you still play with matches
Now we go back to sticks, back to stones
'Cause the words broke our bones and weâre
Right back to the same old habits
Too bad we almost had it
Lock your windows, close your doors and hide
Something wicked has got inside
Post-dramatic trauma addict high
Weâre the victims of our own device
Lock your windows, close your doors and hide
Something wicked has got inside
Batten down the fcking hatches
This is what you get when you still play with matches
Now we go back to sticks, back to stones
'Cause the words broke our bones and weâre
Right back to the same old habits
Too bad we almost had it
Batten down the fcking hatches
This is what you get when you still play with matches
Now we go back to sticks, back to stones
'Cause the words broke our bones and weâre
Right back to the same old habits
Too bad we almost had it
Batten down the f*cking hatches
This is what you get when you still play with matches
Now we go back to sticks, back to stones
'Cause the words broke our bones and weâre
Right back to the same old habits
Too bad we almost had it
Too bad we almost had it
Too bad we almost had it
Danny Cohen, âRetirement Communityâ (1998)
One of the saddest songs I know, having visited my mother many times in a retirement community, decades ago, thinking much the same things as the narrator of this song:
I walked into the bedroom with a Walkman
And I watched âUnsolved MysteriesâThey asked me to a potluck social
âHawaiian Luauâ was the themeThe geezers there, they all called my âPartnerâ
Though they could not even remember me
Shout out to OZZY. RIP!
@thefrog In my case, the most prolithic, influential, and persevering icon of heavy metal ever. And, my first taste of it. In five words: an end of an era.
pretty good cover.
That dude has been making wicked covers for ages. Dig into his YouTube channel. Many excellent covers to hear.
This is one of my favorites from himâŚ
yea, i subscribed to his channel sometime ago. i think he has 509 covers, atleast yt-dlp said so, not sure if you can trust it though.
