about

1x1 (One by One) is a song about watching the people around you being misled time and time again, yet still they follow the leader. It’s the feeling of losing your place in a world where people in positions of power consistently contradict objective reality with their words and actions.

lyrics

Treading through the waves, barely keeping pace
I don't even know where to find my place
Sewing seeds of doubt, in one ear and out
When the hell does it stop?

Murder in the streets, tyrants sending fleets
Victims painted red, they're getting in our heads
Fabricated tales, make us fight ourselves
To push consumer sales, oh the irony

Tell me how to reconcile what i see from outside the fold
Propaganda weaponized from side to side, or so I'm told

There's no faith
When your words don't fall in place
With any sense of stability
Deceived by our eyes and our ears
Left alone with ourselves
'Till we disappear

They lure you in with insincere
Platitudes that feed your fears

A prophet and a preacher is that really what you see?
Indoctrinate the faithful who you willingly mislead
One by one by one they follow
Feed the hollow, repeat the cycle again

There's no faith
When your words don't fall in place
With any sense of stability
Deceived by our eyes and our ears
Left alone with ourselves
'Till we disappear

One by one
One by one
Disappear
One by one
One by one

One by one, they follow
One by one, they follow
One by one, they follow
One by one

Losing touch with reality
An overwhelming numb
So let me be
While you're...

Broken
Shallow hearted
Narcissistic
Self destructive
Paralytic
Saprophytic
So sadistic
Fucking monsters
