Artist Database: A > Akala > Doublethink > Welcome To Dystopia Lyrics
The second you put DoubleThink on you will be greeted by a Classical Intro, at this stage you will realise Akala is bringing a new sound to the table yet again. Akala delves into exploring the ideologies of dystopia drawing inspiration from Aphex Twin, Rage Against The Machine, Radiohead and Public Enemy.
Track 6 on the album is titled Psycho and is a great example to display the boundries akala has been pushing since day one. The track is a blend of Hip Hop, Classical and Rock which on paper probably doesn't sound appealing however the Track blends perfectly. The track switches between anger, fighting for a cause and then into a mellow vibe about life, the track hits the nail on the head inreguards to the album name of 'DoubleThink'.
DoubleThink; “to simultaneously hold two contradictory beliefs at the same time, to tell deliberate lies and to forget any fact the moment it becomes inconvenient.”
The album features an array of different subject matters such as 'Yours And My Children' which speaks about issues reguarding the Police in Brazil and the killing of Favela Children. Facedown hits the nail on the head in reguards to the relationship between Men and Women in modern society. One of the best tracks on the album has got to be 'Find No Enemy' which showcases Akalas softer and more diverse side, in this track Akala touches on situations which are personal to him and also some politcal subjects.
If you're a fan of Akala or a fan of conscious rappers then we can guarantee you won't be disappointed with this album.
Welcome To Dystopia by Akala
Welcome To Dystopia Lyrics
- Conform x 15
- It's bigger than your local colloquium
- In a world that is dystopian
- Kid's aren't born in fallopians
- They're grown in tubes and inserted growth in them
- Dust is choking them
- But this ain't the type of pollution we place in the ocean
- It's apathy, stench we can't quench
- Don't matter who inhabits the bench
- Or wig or gown, hammer or crown, oval or down
- Jokes on us, we're not even frowning
- Much less pissed off
- We're switched off
- Smiling villany, the wickedest tyranny
- Is the one that says fuck you so nice
- You say thanks, and shake hands
- Say he's your man, forget all your plans
- Reach your hand out you see your in bondage
- The idea of beauty is blondeness and other such nonsense
- What our response is?
- Conform and amputate conscience
- Conform. Obey.
- Transform. Sleep easy.
- Ah, that good old human conditioning
- Ever since days of the pyramids
- Make us invalid, which means invalid
- Wrestle with things we can't manage
- Like peace and equality
- Which minority is the authority?
- Whoever has property, it's all idolatry
- Even if you have no image of God, do you follow me?
- Do we not all worship money?
- When you think about it it's quite funny
- Can't eat money, can't breathe money
- Can't inject it and kill disease money
- But we pray at it all till we're guns and tanks
- And offer the money god a million sacraficial lambs
- Who's the priest in charge of sacraficial plans?
- Let us pray and hold hands
- War is peace - ignorance strength - freedom is slavery x3
- Not only do we believe that creed
- We hold it deep and praise it as bravery
- Yeah
- Along with the vision and difference
- So we can maintain the belligerence
- To their pain, feel no shame
- It's all just stages in a video game
- That our kids play kill, kill, kill
- Death is such a thrill, thrill, thrill
- Swallow junk, still feel ill
- Take blue pill, pill, pill
- Conform. Obey.
- Transform. Sleep easy.
- Sometimes I feel like I'm losing my mind
- I do beliee our nature's kind
- Just confused and we're so far gone
- Got no clue how to right these wrongs
- So we bury our head in the sand or the desk
- Anywhere but inside of our flesh
- If I looked at my self - I would see I am the enemy
- I am not honest nor kind nor caring nor sharing
- Or any of the many thing that I pretend to be
- I'm selfish and arrogant, and obedient
- Follow truth only when it's convenient
- Accept laws that I know that decieve me
- So I can sleep in my bed easy
- Don't blame governments, they are just us
- If they are corrupt, then we are corrupt
- Look back through history
- What makes you think that we would act differently?
- If we were in power,
- We would devourer whoever the underclass were like cowards
- The question is, is this inevitable?
- Is there good or evil?
- Is it terrible?
- Or just survival?
- Some say it's overspill from days when we were tribal
- I don't buy that I think you will find that
- That's an excuse if we just don't buy facts
- Everything we really need to survive actually makes us feel good inside
- Sex feels good, food feels good
- Damn, even taking a pill feels good!
- So if war and hate were our natural causes
- Why would we need conditioning for it?
- But I ain't gonna forfeit my privilliges
- Now I'll get back in line and follow my orders
