i wanna talk about how batshit insane this song is: it is just saying "listen to the voices in your head and disregard the idiots who disagree" but since i want to get more likes lets examine the lyrics even more even more!: "Society’s collapsing; hanging by a thread" "The kids are running wild and chivalry is dead" "Let’s be better than before" "I’ll give the tools you need to become one of the Moral Elite" this statement tells us 2 things, first is that the guy whos "helping" us believes that the world is already collapsing and going to shit, second, is that he believes that whit his help we can be good people, and because of that he is the one and only person who knows how to be a truly good person, because he believes himself as one of the moral elite.| "It feels so good when your morals are praised" "So listen to the voice you’re hearing deep inside" "When times are tough and you’ve lost your way" "Just remember that virtue is always repaid" "If you keep all your morals high" as said in the original comment this is basically "it feel so good to be right and morally superior, you should hear to the voices deep inside my head, and when you feel you did something wrong, you're not!, keep on going!" which is pretty bad advice if i say so myself, it breeds and narcissistic way to see the world and the morality of actions, to do what you want in belief what you are doing is morally correct, and it makes the thought of changing your mind seem insane. "What’s this money doing here, in a fountain running dry?" "I guess I’ll give it all to a waiter standing by" "Wow he’s looking kinda bored, let’s “liven up” his day" "In a “morally acceptable” way" at the first action, it insinuates that giving money tat you just found to a worker person standing by is the morally right things to do, even thought that the money does not belong to you, and someone might just left it there to get it later, but in general, its something you and me would do. this is just weird and frankly annoying, jump scaring someone isn't really a way to liven up their day, its a way to freak them out, it also says "he’s looking kinda bored" saying that the song protag isn't even sure if he's bored, it even puts "morally acceptable" in quotation marks, to question the true acceptability of this way. "Open somebody else’s letters" "Help a friend keep time better" "Throw a party and bring along every person you know" "See a bomb? Time to be a hero" "Just for fun divide by zero" "Morality is possible everywhere you go" now this geos from bad advice to crimes, invading someone piracy is straight up evil, but i just gotta ask, why the heck is is even here?, what does checking others peoples letters gotta do with morality?. The second and third are weird but fine. HOWEVER, the forth statement shows us that the impact character only wants to act as a hero, throwing a bomb at a glitching tree for some fucking reason. and finally, morality is unfortunately not compatible with every situation, you cant always be good under a normal rule of ethics, since different beliefs clash and and deferrer it causes problems which cant be fixed by following a fixed set o ideals. "But sometimes you’ll struggle" "People will hate you for spreading the truth" "But they’re all morons, don’t listen to them" "Only you can decide what is right" this is just reinforcing the echo chamber by saying anyone who disagrees or doesn't like your ideals are "morons", and aslso saying that you're the only person whos ideals are right. other than that that pretty much the entire song in detail, thanks for reading my 40 page college paragraph.
