This one is about the kind of relationship that destroys the self, but also about the surveillance society we have (most of us) willingly signed up for.
Lyrics:
On my own, I wasn’t going anywhere / A hermit at home, and no one seemed to care
So I traded solitude for security, and look where I ended up / Alone again under the Tyranny of Us
We met, we made it, both of us came clean / Now before you say it, I know just what you mean
If you’re not doing something wrong, then why make a fuss / It’s just life under the Tyranny of Us
From this trap there’s no releasing / All this knowing, there’s no peace / Everything I say and do is old news to you
And I dream as we lie here in our room / I’m a ghost in an undiscovered tomb
Be yourself, but be careful: you don’t wanna to share too much / Living under the Tyranny of Us
From this trap there’s no releasing / All this knowing, there’s no peace / Everything I say and do is old news to you
