Catherine Corelli - Serial Number Lyrics

I had a dream last night
I slept and I dreamed I was in a certain place crowded with lots and lots of people
A strange scent of silent violence hang all around, the calm queer figures rooted to the ground
Motionless and vacant like they where some hunted kind of humanoid statues
A product of some evil mind, a released desire for a mass domination, cruel and enthralling

Some people bled, some smiled instead
All of them looked like they felt fixed though thoroughly flattered
Powerless but in a state of perfect happiness
A motionless greasy foam frozen and drained of life an instant ago
People formed weird packs and rows, circles and rectangles
Their heads shaven and turned down
Faces hidden in shadows

As I walked among them I felt a chill of misery rising in me
Mixed with despite and primeval hate and fear
I watched them in the eye but found nothing there
No shame, no strain, no name, no blame, no pain

No trace of life, no evidence of it

And then I caught sight of something peculiar and astounding
On the back of each head was a number shaven out
No doubt, the work was done with one stable hand
All the curves, and straights were similar on every head

Holy shit! That was f*cking kickass

I stood there in the cool of the night and shivered
I was alone among all of them, alone in a world of serial numbers
Listed thoughts and programmed lives

Was it life at all

I woke up to the sound of voices
Ringing all around of me
I walked out for an answer
To my dream

I waded in the daylight
Watching people close in front of me
Trying to find an answer
To my dream

But there were no signs of any numbers shaved out on the back of their heads
All of them looked equally healthy busy, alive and most natural
I was about giving up, but then a slight suspicion crawled into me
And once I watched them in the eye the answer struck me all of a sudden
Making my every nerve tense and gnaw

Every one of them was encoded, a serial number
Imprinted deep in each brain, in each mind
In each soul. And then I asked myself, was it God's providence or their own choice
And that was the hardest question

Have you got a serial number
No
Do you want a serial number
Yes

I watched several million
Cowards wait for me
Blind-faith children
Of their fright and apathy
Every one of them
Had neither wish, nor will
Save an itchy crap
That makes them bitch and kneel

I'm your new mistress
I'm your new god
I'm your true savior
The one that you want

Slow-minded
Delighted
You've chosen your way
I mind it
And find it
Ultimate this day

Once you took your choice
Don't ever hesitate
Got but half an hour
To make you liberate
Cut your dirty hearts
And spit them out for me
I'll encode you
With a brand new liberty

Follow me

To begin, get rid of your mythology
I give you mine 'cause it suits you well
Finally, I give you a hundred thousand guarantees
That every one of you, pussy whips, get all your f*cking happiness

I'm your new mistress
I'm your new god
I'm your true savior
The one that you want

Slow-minded
Delighted
You've chosen your way
I mind it
And find it
Ultimate this day

Follow me

Was that my bitter mission
Oh, my god, I wish you'd
Never chose me
To run this weird experiment
The genius surreality
Of this seriality's
In a number of sequences
Provoking the sicknesses

They can't feel
But it's like a hepatitis
The system includes this bug
And they're all born and bred to fit this
Here they are!
They killed the Bradbury's Martians
Globalized and unified their lives
Closed them in margins

Follow me
I'll clean up your minds
Follow me
You've got nothing to bother about from now on
Follow me
Inhale the irony
Follow me
Into the chains of your reality

Follow me
Cause you can't exist anywhere else
Follow me
Everything's to be in its right place
Follow me
Need more illusions? You'll get them
Follow me
Get your serial numbers and lives and spent them

I'm your new mistress! be stable ever after
I'm your new god! be stupid ever after
I'm your true savior! be f*cking ever after
The one that you want! take this shit
I'm your new mistress! be serial ever after
I'm your new god! be quite ever after
I'm your true savior! be happy ever after
The one that you want! take this shit
