Awakened artists...

[budgeebird]

I'm mostly referring to music but feel free to post visual artists as well. These are who see deeper than sheeple, but choose to speak only thru art, as that's the only way they can speak without fear of ridicule...


So far: ...bands

Soft Cell
DEVO
Pink Floyd
Alan Parsons Project
Michael Jackson (?)
.....

You can probably guess that i prefer electronic music by reading my list, where the first four are the ones i listen to myself.

"As conspiracies unwind,
Will you slam shut,
Or free your mind,
or stay hypnotised."


I'm so looking forward to the new album! :D

Illuminati
You've come to take control
You can take my heartbeat
But you can't break my soul
We all shall be free

Illuminati
You'll never take control
Your new world order
Will lead to none at all
We all stand before you as one
Heaven is for everyone
To be free from the dark

I was fast asleep, but now I'm wide awake
I was under the spell of Kangol and reserved notes
Religion and fashion, I used to be flashy
'Til I had a total recall, forgot what I've already knew
It took me 33 years for me to see the truth
Ever so clear I was too young
I couldn't articulate myself the right way son
But now let me break it down, pass it all around
This is not a theory, lift the spirits, see his spirit
They wanna put me in a straightjacket in a padded room
And tell the world there's 12 monkeys so they can be confused

Illuminati want my mind, soul and my body
Secret Society trying to keep their eye on me
But I'ma stay incogni' in places they can't find me
Make my moves strategically

They say life is like Chess
But fuck that I'm tired of playing games with you kids

Tool - [Ænema]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCEeAn6_QJo

Some say a comet will fall from the sky.
Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves.
Followed by fault lines that cannot sit still.
Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits.
Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will
I sure could use a vacation from this
stupid shit, silly shit, stupid shit...
One great big festering neon distraction,
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied:
Learn to swim.
Mom's gonna fix it all soon.
Mom's comin' round to put it back the way it ought to be.

Fuck L Ron Hubbard and fuck all his clones.
Fuck all these gun-toting hip gangster wannabes.
Fuck retro anything. Fuck your tattoos.
Fuck all you junkies and fuck your short memory.
Fuck smiley glad-hands with hidden agendas.
Fuck these dysfunctional, insecure actresses.

I'm praying for rain
and I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way.
I wanna watch it all go down.
Mom please flush it all away.
I wanna see it go right in and down.
I wanna watch it go right in.
Watch you flush it all away.

Time to bring it down again.
Don't just call me pessimist.
Try and read between the lines.
I can't imagine why you wouldn't
Welcome any change, my friend.
I wanna see it come down.
Suck it down.
Flush it down.

[rynath]

Tool - Vicarious

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUXBCdt5IPg&feature=related

The universe is hostile
So impersonal
Devour to survive
So it is, so it's always been ...

We all feed on tragedy.
It's like blood to a vampire.

Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies
Much better you than I.

[snakehips33]

Carter USM
And David Icke says he'd like to show us how,
To love you back to life again now.

[sade]

Wow, I had never realised how bad Tool's lyrics were...
They certainly are not awesome with lyrics. :F

Pearl Jam is awake certainly. Just check out lyrics like 'Grievance.'

[rynath]

Wow, I had never realised how bad Tool's lyrics were...
They certainly are not awesome with lyrics. :F

My interpretation of Aenima is ridding yourself of the material things we all get wrapped up in. Learn to swim meaning learn to be yourself. It comes across harsh when you read the lyrics.

Arch Enemy

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/0a/Arch_Enemy_-_Rise_of_the_Tyrant.jpg

I spit in your face preachers and leaders
Spewing false dogma
to their believers
A nation of wolves hunting the sheep
Their fangs in your flesh
So painful and deep

Despise your heros
Living a lie
Despicable heros
Fooling the blind
(Open your mind)

Puppets on strings, face on the ground
Nothing more than a shallow farce
Consume the young thoughtless ones
Eat their brain, leave them blind
And then destroy
Destroy

I spit in the face or your preachers and leaders
Spewing false dogma to their believers
A nation of fools, nothing but sheep
Their fangs in your flesh so painful and deep

They are a "death" metal band. Notice the reptilian like entity with the all seeing eye as the head?

Leftover Crack!!!! Fuck ya! Look 'em up. :)

Feed the Children (Book of Lies):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0rZp8hqPtg

You sow the seeds of endless chumps
and reap the weak with bible thumps
you cross your t's and dot your eyes
to fill the world with vapid lies
your judging ways are sick to death
your ignorance and praying breath
you profit from a confused land
that toils and dies to understand

we're born in pain and trapped in doom
our empty lives in empty rooms
the bible empties guilty minds
while cries for help face shutting blinds
these blind all scream for me to see
and disregard the ills of history
these fairy tales are memorized
and spew from mouths with empty eyes

No feeling
good book stole it away
another preacher fakes
to focus on collection plates
another sheep to masterbate
in book of names by ivory gates
you're lost, you'll never find
a flock of sheep with rotting minds
the cost, is suffering
2000 years and more in time

and no one knows just what to do
and soon they'll set their sites on you the ignorant all hide in mass
(while) they cook the books; revise the past

the winners write the lying tomes
in a brave new world we're locked in "homes"
that pharmacize for docile proles
that digs us down in deeper holes
(the) progress comes in bloody waves
the sword swings broad for blood it craves
the pawns still toil for dying dreams
we televise their bloody screams

such sadness nothing to do but pray
another victim dies, another moral suicide
"no more book of lies -
instead of food," the hungry cried
you're lost, you'll never find
between the pews the rotting mind
no trust, the ties that bind
the little lies that burn and blind

(in) human nature's greed and lust
our hopes and dreams decay to dust
confusion from their lies is rife
we're crushed beneath our debts in life

i'm told i've made the wrong mistake
but what am i supposed to take
the fabric frays; the screws are loose
we're sick of lies and mind abuse



Super Tuesday (also Leftover Crack):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgm-YG00UuA

It ain't a mystery, that US History
Was built upon the graves
Of native ways and beaten slaves
Yeah, we're all free and brave
Until we misbehave
And there's just no escape
From the crushing weight
Of the police state

[Chorus:]
Two towers falling down
I'll be at zero ground
We're flying friendly skies
Until the city dies
And you don't want to see
Through human history,
Empires will always fall
This is the final call

[Spoken:]
The world bank and the IMF have created a system of modern-day colonialism
To make the people in the developing world poorer,
And the multinational corporations richer,
And take the power away from all of us
It's time to take back control of our lives
And tear apart these monuments to greed
And build our new world from the broken pieces

I pledge allegiance to no flag
Top the bottle with an oily rag
We're building up an army fast
To destroy the pigs and break the upper class
I'm only one
This is my voice
But you're gonna have to make a choice
I don't care if you disagree
'cause this fuckin' thing
It means the whole world to me!

We won't be hypnotized, by all the media lies
It's time the truth is told
When you're sick to death of being bought and sold
Our freedom's been misplaced
Fuck that, it's been erased,
The world's our shooting range,
I'm gonna spare some change
To bomb the stock exchange


Propagandhi!!!

And We Thought That Nation-states Were A Bad Idea

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5YZ7FELtCI

"Publicly subsidized! Privately profitable!"
That's the anthem of the uppertier (the puppeteer untouchable).
We focus a moment, nod in approval and bury our head back in the barcodes
of these neocolonials while our former nemesis
(ah, the romance!) the nationstate, now plays fundraiser for a new brand of powerconcentrate.
Try again, but now we're confused what is "classwar"?
Is this class war? Yes, this is class war.
And I'm just a kid I can't believe that I gotta worry about this kind of shit!
What a stupid world! Yeah, this is just beautiful... absolutely no regard for principle.
What a stupid world. (We're) 1) born 2) hired 3) disposed!
Where that job lands,
everybody knows and you can tell by the smile on the CEO's
that the environmental restraints are about to go.
You can bet that laws will be set to ensure the benefit of unrestricted laborlaws
(all kept in place by displaced government death squads).

They own us. They produce us. They consume us.

Can you fucking believe this? What a stupid world.
Fuck this bullshit display of classloyalties.
The media and "our" leaders wrap it all up in a flag their fucking shitrag. hooray!

[brandonh]

Hear are a couple of my favorite bands. Great Lyrics in respect to the 5 sense conspiracy.


Stick the Fucking Flag Up Your God Damn Ass, You Sonofabitch

BY: Propagandhi

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0zCf04VVnk

Lyrics:

My father told me "son, it's futile to resist,
You can topple ideology but not the armies they enlist."
I questioned the intentions of the boy scouts chanting war.
"Well that's the sound of freedom, son" he said.
(Free to say no more.)
But wait a minute dad, did you actually say freedom?
Well, if you're dumb enough to vote,
You're fuckin dumb enough to believe him.
Cuz if this country is so goddam free,
Then I can burn your fucking flag wherever I damn well please.
(And then I'm gonna stick it up your fucking ass)
I carried their anthem, convinces it was mine.
Rhymeless, unreasoned conjecture kept me in line.
But then I stood back and wondered what the fuck had they done to me.
Made accomplice to all that I'd promised I would never fucking be.
Never be.
You carry their anthem convinces that it's yours.
Invitation to honor. Invitation to war.
Bette Midler now assumes sainthood.
Romanticize murder for moral.
Tie a yellow ribbon round the oak tree my friend,
And "Gee Wally, that's swell!"
Fuck the troops to hell!


Hassie Sellasse, Up your Ass

BY: Propagandhi

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPpXY1aWKgI

Lyrics:

You speak of Rastafari, but how can you justify belief
In a god that's left you behind?
You've simply filled the gap between the upper and lower class
And your faith merely keeps you in line...in line yeah
An amalgamation of jewish scripture and christian thought.
What will that get you? Not a fuck of a lot.
Take a look at your promised land.
Your deed is that gun in your hand.
Mt. Zion's a minefield. The West Bank. The Gaza Strip.
Soon to be parking lots for American tourists and fascist cops yeah.
Fuck zionism. Fuck militarism. Fuck americanism.
Fuck nationalism. Fuck religion.

Apathy

BY: Subhumans

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3K90LTaH2o

Lyrics:

Drink, Sex, Cigarettes
Ford Cortina household pets
Bombs? War? Famine? Death?
An apathetic public couldn t care less

The Public watches ITV
Reads The Sun drinks cups of tea
Two-star family stay content
Their lives controlled by parliament
Well daddy's lost his job again
Because he never had no brain
He only lives to watch TV
His life controlled by apathy

The Russians seem so far away
The government seems to be OK
The papers never mention war
Cos the people that they cater for have got:.

The things that you never knew were there
Or was it that you didn't care
The biggest problem face to face
An apathetic human race

Religious Wars

BY: Subhumans

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VUlJSwm0w0

Do you believe in the afterlife
Termination with a rusty knife
Religious wars no reason why
What a glorious way to die

In the name of God they left you to die
Religious wars there's no reason why
They left you to die

The ultimate excuse is here
Die for a cause, religion is fear
Fear of the threat of something unreal
Abdicate the way you really feel

In the darkness of death
There's no light in your eyes
A cross in your grave
Your time has arrived


Sociaty

BY: Subhumans

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZA8kDbIXPkg

Lyrics:

Our society, what a drag
Another nervous breakdown, another fag
You can't get to sleep cos you lost your pills
And the protein tablets make you ill

Our society, what a drag!
Drive around in a smashed up car
Sometimes you wonder who you are
You look depressed as you walk upstairs
Cos you lost your job and no one cares

See the policemen running round
Driving culture underground
They get paid to put you away
Cos that's how the system works these days

Join the people on the Dole
They lost interest years ago
What hope is there for you and me?
If this is our society?

No

BY: Subhumans

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zwd17TRNjSo

Lyrics:

No I don't believe in Jesus Christ
My mother died of cancer when I was 5
No I don't believe in religion
I was forced to go to church, I wasn't told why
No I don't believe in the police force
Police brutality isn't a dream
No I don't believe in the system
Cos Nothing it does makes sense to me
Don't worry you'll get over it
You'll grow up, you'll calm down
Another youth, another fashion
You'll get over it, you'll calm down
You don't really mean what you say
You've had too much to drink
Don't be so full of hated
It's not as bad as you think
No I don't believe in what you say
You're just part of what I despise
Yes you're part of the fucking system
I ain't blind, I can see your lies
Cos the system thrives on ignorance
What the public don't know, they can't reject
In the face of you all I stand defiant
The rest of the people, they wanna forget

[kassondra8]

Propagandhi! (Yes, again. More is never enough. ;))

The State Lottery

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xy3dByQWqI4

Spoken: "Now the real prospects for authentic democracy depend on something else. They depend on how the people in the rich and priveliged societies learn some other lessons. For example the lessons that are being taught right now like the Mayans in Chiapas, Mexico. They are among the most impoverished and oppressed sectors in the continent. But unlike us they retain a vibrant tradition of liberty and democracy. A tradition that we've allowed to slip out of our hands or has been stolen from us. And unless people here in the rich and privileged society, unless they can recapture and revitalize that tradition, the prospects for democracy are indeed dim."

Does it seem strange to you? The confetti. The balloons. The mile-wide grins and the victory dance to welcome in the heir to a state of disrepair?
Because it sure seems strange to me: they're acting like they won the lottery!

I mean, shouldn't they feel terror at the task that lies ahead: to feed and house the people that this system's left for dead. Could I have hit the nail much harder on the head?

It's profits before lives. They are motivated by greed. First they taught us to depend on their nation-states to mend our tired minds, our broken bones, our bleeding limbs. But now they've sold off all the splints and contracted out the tourniquets and if we jump through hoops then we might just survive.

Is this what we deserve? To scrub the palace floors? To fight amongst ourselves? As we scramble for the crumbs they spit out, frothing at the mouth about the scapegoats that they've chosen for us. With every racist pointed finger I can hear the goose-steps getting closer. They no longer represent us. Is it not our obligation to confront this tyranny?

Parabola

By Tool

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiV_ue-PbL4

Lyrics:

So familiar and overwhelmingly warm
This one, this form I hold now.

Embracing you, this reality here,
This one, this form I hold now, so
Wiide eyed and hoopeful.

Wiide eyed and hoopefully wild.
We barely remember what came before this precious moment,
Choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside...
This body holding me, reminding me that I am not alone in
This body makes me feel eternal. All this pain is an illuuuusion.

We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment,
We are Choosing to be here, right now. Hold on, stay inside...
This hoooooly realityy, this hoooooly experience.
Choosing to be here in...
This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal all this pain is an illusion.

Aliiiiive!

In this hoooooly reality, in this hoooooly experience. Choosing to be here in...
This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal all this pain is an illusion...

Twirling round with this familiar parable.
Spinning, weaving round each new experience.
Recognize this as a holy gift and, celebrate this
(chance to beeeeee alive and breathing 2x)

This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.
Embrace this moment. Remember. we are eternal.
all this pain is an illusion.

Peace In Our Time (The Sun and the Moon)

I see the clowns have come to town
Selling slogans, shaking hands
Megaphones and a leaflet shower
They bang on doors and beg for power
We breathe the same air
Though there's less of it every day
I'm tired of the squabbling
Of watching them pissing
The world away

My conscience tells me what's right
And my conscience tells me what's wrong
I follow no-one
I lead myself
It's less complicated

He said
Don't you believe in democracy
I said
Don't spout that rat-shit to me
They blew the lid off democracy
When they murdered John F. Kennedy
I can't recall being asked or consulted
Concerning Cruise
And I can't recall
Being asked or consulted
On whether sanctions should be used

Here at UK Ltd.
It's cast its vote
It's made its choices
And there displayed its attitude
I'm all right Jack
How are you

"In my hands a piece of paper
Peace in our time"

A worthless piece of paper
You can keep your pieces of paper

Major anti-illuminati band, Rush! Not just with genius lyrics from drummer Neil Peart, but their album covers as well. Check out the cover for 'Roll the Bones' (1991). Note the white dice are all 3's starting from top down, then the numbers begin to change and decay. IMO, this depicts the 33rd degree Freemason pyramid structure. Now look at the top black dice, 2 sets of 666 and 3 single sixes!...and of course, the boy kicking the human skull...human misery...Skull and Bones society. Anyhow, that's how I see it :)
