The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Anti-Social" by the artist "While She Sleeps"

Contents

"Anti-Social" by While She Sleeps is a heartfelt cry of the lyrical hero, disillusioned with the hypocrisy and lies of modern society.

The hero expresses his apathy and death wish, seeing people blindly accepting their fate without trying to fight for a better world. He does not consider himself an opponent of society as such, but rather an opponent of the lies that permeate all spheres of life.

He criticizes conformism, urging people to "rise up" against falsehood, mindless race, and political manipulation. The hero feels deceived, cornered, seeing no point in existence without genuine feelings and aspirations.

He acknowledges his own confusion and chaos in his thoughts, justifying it by the fact that he is "just human." At the same time, he asks the listener: are you ready to face the truth, or do you prefer to remain in blissful ignorance?

The images of the "mask" and the "face that keeps you up at night" symbolize the inner struggle that the hero observes both in himself and in those around him.

The end of the song sounds desperate and desires to abstract from everything that is happening. The hero is tired of lies, manipulation and division. He is sick of all this, and he finds salvation only in music that helps him temporarily disconnect from reality.

I won't be nervous

When everybody around us

Says god we don't deserve this

And begs before they accept our fate

I want the world but I'm not

Prepared to work for a change

I think I'd rather be dead

I'm not anti-social, I'm anti-bullshit

I'm not anti-social, I'm anti-bullshit

You're gonna follow like a freelance sucker of the next biggest trend

We're pissing into the wind, to be heard by the indifferent

Shit talker, you've double crossed your own

You're gonna suffer like a rat in the smoke

How the hell am I supposed to know

We're only human is a valid excuse

For why my mind's polluted

Do you want the truth or do you want to assume it?

I'm not anti-social, I'm anti-bullshit

I'm not anti-social, I'm anti-bullshit

So raise it up, up, up

If you're sick of this fake smile politics

Up, up if you're sick of this race we're running

What you living for if you can't even feel it?

What is living without letting go

How the hell am I supposed to know

We're only human is a valid excuse

For why my mind's polluted

Do you want the truth or do you want to assume it?

Serves you right, to justify the face that keeps you up at night

The mask you wear to cover it up and we can see it in your eyes

Serves you right, to justify the face that keeps you up at night

The mask you wear to cover it up and I can see it in your eyes

I'm sick of the sound

I'm sick of the hand we've been dealt

Sick from the drugs that they tell me to take

I'm sick of the drugs that we take to rebel

Sick of corruption in wealth

Sick of corruption itself

Sick of division in colour, religion

When we're all the same

I'm not anti-social, I'm anti-bullshit

I'm not anti-social, I'm anti-bullshit

Just leave it alone

My head's about to explode

So sick of the same sound syndrome

Thank fuck for headphones
