Conceive It

about

‘Conceive It’ invites the listener to imagine a dystopian world in which the unthinkable is the norm and suggests in conclusion that the world they are being asked to imagine is the one they actually inhabit.

lyrics

Conceive It
Ola Onabulé 2018

Talking about the way things be….

Can you conceive it?
A world where a guardian angel, steadily takes aim
At our baby’s deadly toy, primed for the end game
With gods, in camouflage, murdering the old shame

And they'll conceal it,
Not with loud words, of an enemy, but with gold silence
Of a cold society, hardened to violence
Where to speak of unity only makes no sense.

And unreason grinds coarse words to fine
Stench of anger suffocates young minds

Oh I know you struggle to believe it,
Still can’t see it
But your brain quite quickly will concede it
You’ll conceive
It’s how things already be!

The lie that's believed is,
long ago was for them, that bastion of safeness
The main goal of the cause, return to that greatness
By wrenching hope from claws, of dreamers till stateless

So you might perceive this,
As a tale meant to foretell what you will soon hear
They’ll be all they can, when you can no longer
You're short of ideal, ideal is you’re not here

Where delirium drives dissent benign
your continuum becomes broken line

Oh I know you struggle to believe it,
Still can’t see it
But your brain quite quickly will concede it
You’ll conceive
It’s how things already be!

How can I conceive it, when I can't believe it
Aaaaaahhhh

Open up your eyes and see
It’s already happening.
It’s how things already.
