This word-pun depicts a more personal encounter with the by now disillusioned girl.
lyrics
I: MEAN IS THE NEW NICE
Mean is the new nice, once I was told I could always rely
New is the new old, certainly someone missed out on the flow
News peak supreme, newspeak in all you dream
Dreams have to die, although they're kept alive
Broke is the new whole, once in a vision reduced to a sham
Hate is the new love, wonder if she's ever done with that head
Rights are a stranger to anyone who's been wading through marks
Weak is the stronger, I can just float here and wait for the sharks
News peak supreme, newspeak in all you dream
Dreams have to die, frequently merrily
II: SUBMISSION
If my brain is a forest then you're the cocky guide
who's getting lost inside it, detouring on the ride
If I'm to be concealing, like in your squared old books
I can see your pretending why it has to be so
She makes me adore every flower
She makes me detest everything around
She makes me believe in the power of love
She's making me hate, wishing you were dead
But it's too late now to forget her
The damage, is done now
You can't unlearn to get to know one
In remorse, she makes me so
I wish I could go on without her
I wish she would stay away
The reason I doubt if my heart is true
She's making me so, she won't go
Newspeaking is a trust in the things that make you cry
It's peaking as you feel smart and guess the reason why
Going for the lowest common denominator
It's real in that it's unreal and coincide with porn
III: NEWS PEAK OR THE LAMENT OF A DYSTOPIAN RESEARCHER
A little bit of luck
We can afford to suck, we can afford to fuck it up
A screening in progress while heading for regress
With morals of the cultural dogs
He found them good to cite within his poetry
They lent each other clothes but ended up alike still
Dreaming of the future, frightened of tomorrow
Your dreams are gonna die
The farther we stretch out, the louder we must shout
The farther we digress, the more we have to guess
And you and me and both can make it kinda grand finish
And dreams are gonna die
News peaking in the trust of all that's unconfirmed
Newspeaking is a trust in crushing all the crust again
She makes me doubt her mind as all she seemed to find is a wish to die
