Nineteen Eighty Four

Nineteen Eighty-Four (also published as 1984) is a dystopian social science fiction novel and cautionary tale by English writer George Orwell. It was published on 8 June 1949 by Secker & Warburg as Orwell's ninth and final book completed in his lifetime. Thematically, it centres on the consequences of totalitarianism, mass surveillance and repressive regimentation of people and behaviours within society. Orwell, a democratic socialist, modelled the authoritarian state in the novel on the Soviet Union in the era of Stalinism, and Nazi Germany. More broadly, the novel examines the role of truth and facts within societies and the ways in which they can be manipulated.

Raise a cup for the lost minds
Take a sip, take a blind eye
Empty lies and empty lives
See the system bury us alive
Don't ask and don't think
Every eye is watching
Will you lose your pride
And choose to hide
Lonely and left behind
You can't console me
You can't control me
I'll fight to be free
I'll leave behind this city
Am I using too much time
Waiting for a sign
Chasing a light in the middle of the night
While you're asleep
Terrified to speak your mind
But you can't silence me

So go lose, your mind
When you take, what's mine
Its time, realize
You can't run and you can't hide
When you're chained up inside

Pages and pages, I'm burning the pages
Bleeding the reasons
you keep me from leaving
No
I'm breaking control
I'm saving my soul
You can't take my life anymore
Pages and pages, I'm burning the pages
Bleeding the reasons
You keep me from leaving

So go lose, your mind
When you take, what's mine
Its time, realize
You can't run and you can't hide
When you're chained up inside
It's time, realize
You can't run and you can't hide
When you're chained up inside

You've divided and denied it
Our fates decided one sided
I'm reminded you're misguided
The fire is ignited
Try silencing the violence I hide
Fighting all the lies that I find
You want a show
You want to kill what I know
Pages and pages, I'm burning the pages
Bleeding the reasons
You keep me from leaving

No
I'm breaking control
I'm saving my soul
You can't take my life anymore
No
I'm breaking control
I'm saving my soul
You can't take my life anymore

Raise a cup for the lost minds
Take a sip, take a blind eye
Empty lies and empty lives
See the system bury us alive
Don't ask and don't think
Every eye is watching
Will you lose your pride
And choose to hide
Lonely and left behind
