Lyrics
Another day another post-traumatic order/ (Brainwashed and feeling fine)/ I bit off more than I could chew when I looked closer/ So I stabbed a fork in my eye/ think I’m losing my fucking mind/ Don’t know where to turn, now I’m blind/ Destroy yourself it feels so good to fade away/ Why, d’you want to hurt yourself?/ Die, for something else?/ Don’t let your conscience get in the way/
Obey/ We hope you have a lovely day/ Obey/ You don’t want us to come out and play/ Away, now now/ There’s nothing to see here/ It’s under control/ We’re only gambling with your soul/ Obey/ Whatever you do, just don’t wake up and smell the corruption/
Another day another systematic nightmare/ Commemorate a wonderful life/ Bite me first I’ll bite you back/ Melodramatic laughter/ I stabbed a knife in my eye/ Think I’m out my fucking mind/ Brainwashed and I’m feeling fine/ Destroy yourself it feels too good to fade away/ Why, do I want to hurt myself?/ Should I die for something else?/ I let my conscience get in the way/
Obey/ We hope you have a lovely day/ Obey/ You don’t want us to come out and play/ Away, now now/ There’s nothing to see here/ It’s under control/ We’re only gambling with your soul/ Obey/ Whatever you do, just don’t wake up and smell the corruption/
When your freedom is lethal/ Tell me how you’re going to hurt yourself/ You call yourselves peaceful/ you monsters are people/
you fucking monsters are people/ Obey/ We’re gonna show you how to behave/ Obey/ It’s nicer when you can’t see the chains.

Pop-metal banger ‘Obey’ sees the band implore the listener to “wake up and smell the corruption”. “Lyrically, it’s very much coming from the oppressor saying, ‘Don’t pay too much attention! Get on with your lives and you won’t have too much trouble’,” he explains. “‘If you do kick up a fuss, we’re going to come out and put you right.’ It echoes what Donald Trump said throughout the BLM protests, seeming to support right-wing groups. It’s the stuff of nightmares. It’s trying to convey that notion that we are being a bit too submissive.”
