about

This song is a social commentary on the trend towards people gathering all their ideas from echo chambers at the expense of debate.

Whether it’s algorithms or social engineering or just an inevitable byproduct of society circa 2022 it seems nuance and questioning of ideas has fallen prey to binary tribalism. Are you with me or against me.

lyrics

The problem with self determination
Is until you reach capitulation
You run the risk of doing what you think is right

who knows what’s right
When we’re left to our own devices
Blindly we fight or flight
To find what feels the nicest

Put me in a box, it’s easy
Tell me what it’s not but I’ll see
Cause I’ve got a gut and it’s uneasy

Well I know what I know and it’s all that I know
But it might be a good time to question
Certainly grows till there’s no ebbs or flows
And you run to the cliff with conviction

I’ll sit in my box come test me
Tell you what I got - (you’re) not listening
Cause you know what you know not what you’re missing.

The only Certainty is doubt
I only double certainty.
