about

The search for hope in fictional dystopian novels

lyrics

So that open book slams shut
An ending to a story that always felt too abrupt
Another life that we raced through
And took to heart that feeling we're all emotionally bankrupt

Leave those lofty ideas on the page
Like some harrowing contradiction
I decimalise I recategorise each page as fiction
But they're as real to me now as the words of this story-teller
Trapped inside these tomes like a dystopian novella

It's just a thought about a thought about a
It's nothing unique, it's just something we're taught
The anomie the emptiness
Disillusioned with everything, leave me again with only weltschmerz

Leave those lofty ideas on the page
Like some harrowing contradiction
I decimalise I recategorise each page as fiction
But they're as real to me now as the words of this story-teller
Trapped inside these tomes like a dystopian novella
