Serena Rae - The Illusion of Freedom
321
Set in action
Citizens the plan is drafted
Everyone fall in line to meet
Your ruler says
It's your mission
To go after innocent victims
It’s up to you to prove your loyalty
Everyone believes the choice is up to me
But I’m pretty sure it’s picked already
★ Chorus 1 ★
The illusion of freedom
Is thinking you're free when
It’s a double sided screen
The unconscious biases
Taking over the planet
In photo covered green
You only see what they want you see
★ Verse 2 ★
Down from 10
The plans in motion
Show us your devotion
A little isn’t enough to keep
Your governor says
It's me or nothing
Say goodbye to who you're loving
If you don’t agree with my decree
Everyone believes the choice dwindling
But no one wants to admit the reality
★ Chorus 2 ★
The illusion of freedom
Is thinking you're free when
It’s a double sided screen
The unconscious biases
Taking over the planet
In photo covered green
You only see what they want you see
★ Bridge ★
They say take your weapons out
Fight while you can
Use division
To drive us to the edge
They promise words aloud
They even shake our hands
Then they turn around
And do the opposite
★ Chorus 3 ★
The illusion of freedom
Is thinking you're free when
It’s a double sided screen
The unconscious biases
Taking over the planet
In photo covered green
You only see what they want you see
It's the illusion of freedom
The illusion of freedom
The illusion of freedom
Song Description:
edit soundcloudThe chorus emphasizes the idea that true freedom is masked by a "double-sided screen" of unconscious biases and manipulation. The vivid imagery of a planet covered in green screens suggests a world where reality is distorted and people only see what those in power want them to see.
The bridge of the song brings attention to the tactics used to maintain this illusion of freedom, with calls to arms and promises of unity that ultimately lead to division and betrayal. The song's powerful message is a reminder to question the narratives we are fed and to seek true freedom beyond the illusions presented to us.
