The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Chrome" by the artist "VNV Nation"

Contents

The song "Chrome" by VNV Nation paints a picture of a society obsessed with superficiality, where people hide behind masks of falsehood and the pursuit of success. The lyrics "Million faces, every one a million lies. For each and everyone, a mask of chrome" speaks to the hypocrisy that reigns in this world. People wear masks, hiding their true nature, striving to conform to imposed ideals. Chrome, as a material, symbolizes coldness, detachment, and soullessness.

The author of the song sees the suffering of people caught in this trap ("Pain, the measure of blind ambition - proof of your unique disease"), but at the same time notices their unwillingness to change ("Against all sense, you see no warnings, your desires betray you"). He sympathizes with them, but understands that he cannot walk this path for them ("If I could dissuade you, I would not save you from the path you tread").

There is hope for salvation in the song. "Burning innocence - the flame that will set you free" - this line suggests that within each person there is a spark of purity and truth that can lead him out of the darkness.

The final image of the night city, where "in human stories - a million faces, a million lies" emphasizes the all-encompassing nature of the problem described. People are locked in their illusions, unwilling to see the world as it is, and each other without masks.

A million faces, each a million lies

For each and all a chrome disguise

Prompts for action, force reaction

Embody promise in a sheen so pure.

Hurt, the measure of blind ambition,

The testament to your singular disease.

Against all wisdom you heed no warning,

Your desires giving you away.

If I could change your mind,

I wouldn't save you from the path you wander.

In desperation dreams, any soul can set you free.

And I still hear you scream,

In every breath, in every single motion.

Burning innocence, the fire to set you free.

Your actions turn conquest to dust.

In portents of fate, you foolishly place trust.

Sense fear in your broken breathing.

Resort to shadows till your body expires.

All creation has the promise of heaven,

And still you travel the road to hell.

I'm saying nothing for the good of myself,

But I'm still talking and you're not listening.

If I could change your mind,

I wouldn't save you from the path you wander.

In desperation dreams, any soul can set you free.

And I still hear you scream,

In every breath, in every single motion.

Burning innocence, the fire to set you free.

As night descends upon the city,

The streets are cold, the lights go by.

And in the stories of the people,

A million faces, a million lies.

They'll never say they feel what you feel,

That they can see the world you see.

And in their faces, their expressions,

A million faces, a million lies.
