Borders Part 3 (In The Cage)

from Human by Isgaard

/

about

BORDERS questions if borders and isolation really help humanity or are rather an expression of fear and differentiation. Considering the fact that the Homo sapiens emerged as a sole species in Africa and spread across the entire globe from there, we need to state at least that we all have the same origin. Today many of us live like slaves of their smartphones in small, sealed off systems and know, in spite of the mass of accessible information, less and less about the world. But in the modern “high-tech” world in which everything is connected, problems can only be solved and steps forward can only be made when we break down boundaries. The best example is the fight against global warming which can only be successful through international cooperation. Part 3 (IN THE CAGE) predicts a world that, characterised by surveillance and defensive walls, almost resembles a cage.

lyrics

The border in front of you makes a barrier in your head
Consciousness unlimited or in crippled mode instead
Whether breakdown or policy
There' s no difference between you and me
We are human
That's a human law

The walls around your territory make a wall inside your heart
Stone on stone increases the weight documented in a chart
Wheather fear or pride or joy or pain
It is all a consequential chain
We are human
That's a human law

Frozen thoughts inside your brain
You are meshed you are enchained
One step forward followed up by two steps back

Place an idea in your head
A dream of freedom born and bred
You must just erase the lack

Kept inside a controlled space many safety guards around
Safeness simulated by preventing all to cross the bounds
Nothing enters and nothing leaves
There's no outer influence that cleaves
It's not human
That's a psycho's law

Controlled by the screens in front slaves to visual stimuli
A transparent society losing the way while passing by
A freedom made of pigeonholes
It's like living in some goldfish bowls
Is it human or just human-made?

Place an idea in your head
A dream of freedom born and bred
You must just erase the lack

Reach out freely for the stars
There is so much to yield
All on an open field
