Society Lyrics

It's a mystery to me
We have a greed
With which we have agreed

You think you have to want
More than you need
Until you have it all you won't be free

Society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me

When you want more than you have
You think you need
And when you think more than you want
Your thoughts begin to bleed

I think I need to find a bigger place
'Cause when you have more than you think
You need more space

Society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
Society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me

There's those thinking more or less less is more
But if less is more how you're keeping score?
Means for every point you make
Your level drops
Kinda like it's starting from the top
You can't do that

Society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
Society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me

Society, have mercy on me
I hope you're not angry if I disagree
Society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me

What is the Meaning of Society?

In this deeply introspective piece, the artist presents a critique of materialistic society and its relentless pursuit of more. The lyrics underscore the paradox that wanting more than we need can lead to a sense of dissatisfaction and unfulfillment, rather than freedom. The song also highlights the societal pressure to conform to this norm, suggesting that deviating from it may result in loneliness or exclusion. However, the repeated plea for society not to be lonely without him reflects the artist's decision to reject these norms despite potential ostracization. The final lines suggest a plea for understanding and acceptance of differing viewpoints within society. This song is a poignant reminder of re-evaluating our needs versus wants and questioning societal norms. #Materialism #SocietalPressure
