reworked lyrics: the bait

a game of life. a board of control. Inspired by the rigid rules of chess and how they mirror the power dynamics of real life, ‚the bait‘ is a track about strategic oppression, and the urgent need to break free from it. the lyrics play with metaphors from the world of check: pawns, traps, moves, and mates. but instead of kings and queens, the battlefield here is class struggle, manipulated destiny, and a society that teaches obedience before self-determination.
the idea came from observing how many people are conditioned to wait for the “next move”, guidance, permission, approval, only to be punished for following orders. this song is a call to arms: don’t stay in check, break the pattern, dominate the board. check it out now.
