PV_1 - WAGE SLAVE [FEAT. KEVIN - SYNTHV ORIGINAL SONG]

hi so this song is based on the fact that I applied to 5000 jobs in one year and heard nothing so I decided to say fuck everything. then I got diagnosed with autism and a bunch of other shit so I can't work a normal job if I even tried. the lyrics for this song are a mix of my personal experience and a rewording of advice that people have given to me in the past (which didn't work. because people giving advice for other people in a construct they've created is.....confusing, complicated, irritating, and most of all just flat out stupid.) is it trickling down yet? or is it piss? I can't tell. NGL 90% of this song is me complaining about how difficult the TV and film industry is to get into unless people decide they wanna stop gatekeeping their favourite niche artist or the algorithm decided they're a god one day. but even if you think about it...it's also just...education. I loathe the education system. I could go on for hours about how in the UK UCAS is a thing that requires a reference but they give the referee the option to decline but if your portfolio in the arts is good and you're applying for a creative course they'll bypass it anyway making it completely irrelevant to begin with. anyway this song is a test. I do not like the content in the song. it's also just generally a vent. I mean, it's a valid vent. I ain't gonna pretend otherwise. it's a valid vent. to feel like all the walls are closing in and everything's against you. it's not a matter of individual problem at that point. you can't blame a person for not doing enough when they've done all they can do. at that point it's what I call "being a dick". toxic positivity doesn't hide a toxic world. it just makes the poison more drinkable. but I've said all I could before I go on a full tangent because I genuinely do not like how it is. I'm gonna go disappear back to my cave now. lyrics: WAGE SLAVE - original song Chains we wear whisper As the weights tie us to wood and constructs of fiction Tell us what we can't and should The fragment of humankind That set the metal stage The cage of wage met with rage As people fall into the stress And people lie to deny The truth lurking beneath The respite is short-lived But the stress is left to feast The days go by as we witness Others gain success So tell me why we aren't there If we are meant to be like them Was that meant to be a lie That we use to try deny? Who cares what we do in life? Not our fault if we all die Days go by in construct for me Do not stress, just try conform See, be just like the others, you see Don't stand out and you will succeed Play the game and be rewarded Sit there idle, calm and candid Let the people ahead of you Tell you what you're all meant to do Master, master, hear the laughter See the people having fun We should take them and encage them Drop the weights if they all run Power, hour, fear and cower Whisper to the people's minds Made-up concepts can end in debt Don't just stand there, don't you whine Just cause it's thought of Doesn't mean it should exist It ends with solutions For problems we try resist The chaos and conflict That can fracture open wounds The others have done it So tell me why it just isn't you Tears you cry motivate The cogs in the machine The chaos of grinding gears Acts as a giant screen That motivates and destroys Our creativity Intricacies on their knees Will cause the world to burn Finally, tell me now Is that a lie? What is it you want in life? Do you let others decide? Is there an answer in mind? Don't look back behind the curtain It'll make you all uncertain Look above at all the others There will always be another Play the game and be rewarded Lie to those who are reminded Of the success of the others They can't see it for themselves Pull their strings, move them And then laugh as they all dance We have no one other than The ones we choose to have We play pretend As the people spin around, around It isn't like we don't have a choice That helps us out And people lie to deny The truth lurking beneath The respite is short-lived But the stress is left to feast The days go by as we witness Others gain success So tell me why we aren't there If we are meant to be like them Was that meant to be a lie That we use to try deny? Who cares what we do in life? Not our fault if we all die Days go by in construct for me Do not stress, just try conform See, be just like the others, you see Don't stand out and you will succeed
