When you wanna find some isolation
But the tracker you got from vaccination (Keeps playing)
Keeps playing "You'll Never Walk Alone" (Over and over)
They're always listening, especially on the phone
When the lines blur every boy and girl
How we gonna make it in this brave new world?
Thanks for posting this. I had no idea how aware Prince was. This song was written in 1996.
The lyrics go on.
[Verse 3]
This refers to the soma pill in the book Brave New World. It's a dopamine fix that keeps citizens from feeling disgruntled. It's intended to prevent citizens from ever considering changing the status quo.
Another Brave New World reference. Citizens are genetically engineered before birth to fit into their assigned social class and careers. The Alpha class are leaders, the Epsilons are laborers and janitors. Even if this genetic central planning works and society fits neatly together, it deprives humans of ambition and spirit. This verse may simultaneously be alluding to modern genetic editing technology like CRSPR.
[Verse 4]
The sharp vibration alludes to any kind of painful experience that causes the sufferer to temporarily wake up to the plan. The melting pot refers to the new world order future where races, cultures, and sexes are blended and homogenized.
Good thread. Prince was apparently given a glimpse into the cult's plans. Note his demise was similar to Michael Jackson's.
