Exploring the paradox of life, this powerful track delves into the dichotomy between appearance and reality. The lyrics question various societal constructs and roles, using iconic figures like Captain America, Superman, and Iron Man as metaphors to highlight the often unrealistic expectations placed on individuals. The song reflects on the human condition, suggesting that despite our best intentions, we often find ourselves on a path paved with sorrow and hardship. It critiques the notion of an idealized life or 'living the dream,' hinting at its illusory nature. The repeated phrase "we're all living the dream" serves as a cynical commentary on our collective state of denial about harsh realities. This song is a call to awareness - urging us to look around, recognize our circumstances and question our place in the grand scheme of things.
Living The Dream
Lyrics
Captain America, are you off to fight the bad guys?
Hey, mighty Superman, can you save us from ourselves?
Hey, Mr. Universe, can you lift us up above this?
'Cause I'm just Iron Man, I'm a ghost within a shell
Take a look around
Just look around
They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions
Why did they never mention what's real and in between?
It seems the path we're on was paved with blood and sorrow
No thought about tomorrow
Just part of the machine or so it seems
Yeah, so it seems
We're all living the dream
We're all living the dream
Hey there, Your Majesty, is there anyone above you?
It must be lonely when you're up there looking down
Hey, Lady Amnesty, there's no one that can judge you
We're all just broken toys beneath your crooked crown
Take a look around
Just look around
They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions
Why did they never mention what's real and in between?
It seems the path we're on was paved with blood and sorrow
No thought about tomorrow
Just part of the machine or so it seems
Yeah, so it seems
We're all living the dream
Take a look around
Just look around
They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions
Why did they never mention what's real and in between?
It seems the path we're on was paved with blood and sorrow
No thought about tomorrow
Just part of the machine or so it seems
Yeah, so it seems
We're all living the dream
We're all living the dream
We're all living the dream
