Hypocrisy and hypocrisy and hypocrisy
What is right and what is important
Clicking and clicking and clicking
On pages filt with pictures
Like looking backwards through the glass of a pair of binoculars
Nobody is looking at the man who is floating
Down the river in the city center, in daylight
Under the sound of traffic, under the snow and all the ice
Nice and kind imbesiles are too busy with themselves
No one takes the initiative and soon he's freezing to death
Can anyone turn on the light
Can anyone turn up the sound
There is no excuse
Break loose from the apathy
Where is the solidarity?
Stop ignoring
Eyes are to see with
Eyes are to see with
Where is the solidarity?
Stop ignoring
Eyes are to see with
Eyes are to see with
Hipocrisy and hypocrisy and hypocrisy
Isn't it sad to be broken in pieces
Reading articles about bad conflicts
Sharing a post that 23 of your friends likes
A keystroke so your quota is filled for the rest of the week
Like aknowledging a problem is something to be celebrated
The moral policy leaves the uniform by the keyboard
The principles are fading, the values are shrinking
Can anyone turn on the light
Can anyone turn up the sound
There is no excuse
Break loose from the apathy
Where is the solidarity?
Stop ignoring
Eyes are to see with
Eyes are to see with
Where is the solidarity?
Stop ignoring
Eyes are to see with
Eyes are to see with
Description:
The song is about How people in modern urban society is somehow sheltered from real tragedy, and are therefore often unable to take care of one and another. The vocalist in Me and the Julios experienced seeing a man almost drown in a city-river in Oslo in the middle of the day one winter, and no one wanted to help him as he dragged the man out of the water and took him to the nearest hospital. Are Norwegians too akward to help a stranger in danger? Are the medias distancing us from reality in a way that makes us not able to see real issues, real people and real suffering? The song and video is reflecting upon modern morality, with apetor/\"the man in the river\" as a played caracter from a real life event, But also a symbol for the human on the other side of a mirror of apathy.
