about

This Is Your Life’ is a song about the confused, junk guzzling, information overloading, fake news spreading, fear mongering, brain washed modern age. Driven by a motorik groove with a Pink Floyd-ish synth layer, heavy fuzz guitar precedes a chorus from which emanates a ranting message driven vocal: “This is your life, static screens, faded dreams oh cant you see, this is your life the broadcast lies, open your eyes you will see.”

Welcome to the world of BirdPen.

lyrics

Welcome to your day one and all it’s time to pray let’s see you smile
Fill up your dead mind with useless words and advertising then run for miles
Welcome to your day control the world with games they play leave mothers crying
Stare in static screens with no sounds for muted screams to hear the lying
Welcome to your day words are fake deceit they say all colours are fading away and you’re still smiling
It’s every slave to obey the broadcast lies in everyway a faceless ghost that won’t betray with pills that make you feel ok
This is your life
This is your life static screens faded dreams oh can’t you see this is your life the broadcast lies open your eyes you will see
