[Intro] There’s an evil virus that’s threatening mankind      Not state of the art a serious state of the mind      The muggers the back stabbers the two faced elite A menace to society a social disease Rape of the mind is a social disorder The cynics the apathy one upmanship order Watching beginnings of social decay       Gloating or sneering at life’s disarray       Eating away at your own self esteem      Pouncing on every word that you might be saying Rape of the mind is a social disorder The cynics the apathy one upmanship order Superficially smiling a shake of the hand As soon as the back is turned treachery is planned Rape of the mind is a social disorder The cynics the apathy one upmanship order Watching beginnings of social decay       Gloating or sneering at life’s disarray       [Interlude] [Verse] When every good thing’s laid to waste By all the jealousy and hate By all the acid wit and rapier lies And every time you think you’re safe And when you go to turn away You know they’re sharpening all their papers knives [Chorus] All in your mind all in your head try to relate it All in your mind all in your head try to escape it [Verse 2] Without a conscience they destroy And that’s a thing that they enjoy They’re a sickness that’s in all our minds They want to sink the ship and leave The way they laugh at you and me You know it happens all the time [Chorus 2] All in your mind all in your head try to relate it All in your mind all in your head try to escape it [Interlude] [Coda] The rats in the cellar you know who you are The rats in the cellar you know who you are The rats in the cellar you know who you are The rats in the cellar you know who you are Or do you Or do you Or do you Or do you Watching beginnings of social decay

À propos de la chanson

La chanson aborde les thématiques de la malveillance et de la trahison présentes dans notre société. Elle dépeint comment des individus aux intentions sournoises s'attaquent aux autres par la jalousie, l'apathie et des manipulations mentales, créant un climat de méfiance et de dégradation sociale. Cette infection mentale est décrite comme une véritable maladie qui ronge les esprits, amenant à une perte de confiance et à une dévalorisation de soi. Dans le contexte actuel, où les relations interpersonnelles peuvent être teintées de cynisme et de compétition, ces paroles résonnent particulièrement. Elles nous rappellent la fragilité des liens humains face à l'égoïsme et aux faux-semblants. La chanson invite à une réflexion sur la façon dont nous interagissons les uns avec les autres et sur les effets corrosifs du mépris et de l'indifférence.
