Do Not Look Down

Do Not Look Down - Meshuggah

Strive strive surmount the obstacles

Become the essence of your goals

Hereditary dream

Pray that you may attain that destiny

Fall into the coveted line

Where life is but a theme

Of pretense in lustrous guise

Claims and values

Charts of means and status

Plaques to show your strife

Do your neighbour clones approve

Picture perfect illustration

Imitation of life

Where the path is evened out

All obstructions removed

Great viable citizen

Are you happy now

Then praise your God and bow

Shimmering surface

The gleam of blinding lies

Become the product

The thing you so desire

To what length would you

Go to reach your goals

What mantra will you use

To justify your means

Who will you betray to

Secure your dream

What sins will you commit

To avoid your sins be seen

Do not look down

Do not look down

Or the abysmal beast of non-conformity

Might stare some unpleasant truth

Into your desensitized mind

Shimmering surface

The gleam of blinding lies

Become the product

The thing you so desire
