Lyrics
Verse 1
All these lies they say to you
All these things that can't be true
Crooked game, they mask their truth
You can’t win, you’re made a fool
Bridge 1
All the rules are so unreal
They want us trapped inside their walls
Verse 2
All the nations, money and the laws
Were created to contain us all
Who am I on this twisted fate?
Who are you? Can you tell?
Bridge 2
All the rules are so unreal
We need to follow so we don’t fall
Chorus
Believing in something
Maybe it is our DNA
And how do we live
Without being part of this tricky game?
This is only how it works
Is there good or evil at all?
Who is in charge?
There are no leaders
Marionettes by their own imagination
They are just slaves of their own beliefs
Trapped inside their imagined realities
Bridge 3
All the rules are so unreal
They are ready to deceive us all
Chorus
About the song
Inspired by Yuval Noah Harari's book Sapiens, Imagined Realities looks at the things humans invented and agreed to believe in, such as money, borders, laws and companies. Those shared fictions let us live together in huge numbers but have also led to war, and the song asks what part we play in that game.
