Meaning of Talking!?!"
What's the meaning of talking if we don't listen to each other?
It's bitter!
Everyone knows better, but who's the best know-it-all?
I've felt it for a long time, ah—
what these numbers now reflect, ah—
why elections don’t shock me, ah.
Arrogance rules...
wherever your algorithm leads you.
Where everyone turns into a specialist idiot.
Where they manipulate your mind.
Where empathy fades, hatred often triumphs.
Information tailor-made—
just don’t lose the thread,
or you'll just play a role in their pre-planned narrative.
That’s how you radicalize people.
That’s how you normalize hate.
That’s how you export even more weapons.
That’s how billions are made here.
I see stocks explode in sync with the bombs.
Maximum profit, capitalist regime.
Poverty for profit.
Few winners in the class lottery.
Education is like fast fashion—
sold at an H&M price.
Facts are created just as cheap these days,
with phrases that pose as arguments.
That’s how you ignore every truth,
how you dodge every responsibility,
how you distance yourself from others' opinions
because questioning things seems exhausting.
But no one escapes karma.
It’s time we accept that.
Even if everyone were right, no one can communicate.
We live in a word-value inflation.
What does “knowledge” even mean today?
Everything is just a game of telephone,
millions of posts per minute.
Our brains flooded with information.
Distraction—
everything just a Hollywood illusion.
Synchronized monologues
cosplaying as dialogues.
Media conglomerates, knowledge monopolies.
People unlearn thinking,
but education isn't logic.
If you don’t read between the lines,
their rhetoric will kill you.
No one listens to me, but I say it anyway.
In public discourse,
words go in on the left and exit far right.
Our zeitgeist is a chatterbox.
Our timelines glow toxic, like a lava lamp.
And the propagandists think we’re too dumb.
People only change their minds when it benefits them.
People proudly post nonsense, as if it’s art.
Everyone talks at the same time—
I wish for a silent movie.
Society is almost deaf
from the constant feedback loop.
Who’s still objective in blind rage?
Who still needs a cow for beef today?
Tell the dove of peace
to rest in peace.
Yet, I long for permanent peace—
peace tattoo.
Don’t ask how I see the situation,
ask yourself: how do you see it?
That X on your ballot—
ask yourself: how do you place it?
And how do you know
that what you know is true?
That you're not just talking big
while sharing fake news?
Oooh child, I wish things were easier.
But not with social media—
speech levels keep getting lower.
Is Idiocracy coming soon,
or has it already arrived?
Who holds the opium for the people?
Who holds the power over interpretation?
Accepting the truth is often hard,
but denial is easy.
Pride is so misplaced—
vicious cycle, politics time.
Go vote...
