about

Inspired by the George Orwell dystopian classic, this track is an interpretation and look inside the mind of lead Character Winston Smith. How he feels and how he thinks. The fact that he even dares to think or use his own judgement and opinion. makes him "thought criminal", putting his life in grave danger.

lyrics

It was a cold day in April and the clocks were striking thirteen
My name is Winston and I am a thought criminal

Here we go again
It's just a job
Read it, burn it, change it!

The best books are those that tell you what you already know

It’s a beautiful thing, the destruction of words
Show no emotion
Have no opinion
Big brother is watching

If you want to keep a secret you must also hide it from yourself

You will deny without regret
Take all the time you need
Forget what’s in your heart
What’s in your head
You will deny
You will forget

It’s a new day
Victory square
Bring on “2 minutes of hate”
Hate!

Show your anger and mean it!
Demonstrate your allegiance to “The Party”
“Long live Oceania!”

Tear their minds into pieces and put them back together in shapes of your own choosing

You will deny without regret
Take all the time you need
Forget what’s in your heart
What’s in your head
You will deny
You will forget
It never stops
It’s never ending
It never stops
It’s never ending

My rebellious act of love
Oh Julia
Dark hair, dark eyes
Soft, porcelain skin

I hate purity
I hate goodness
I don’t wan’t virtue to exist anywhere
I want everyone, corrupt!
And Julia my love, you are corrupt to the core
We both believe that 2 + 2 = 4

Perhaps she did not want to loved, so much as to be understood

You will deny without regret
Take all the time you need
Forget what's in your heart
What’s in your head
You will deny
You will forget
It never stops
It’s never ending
It never stops
It’s never ending

Don’t run, it’s over
I knew this time would come
I always knew they would find us

But I, I still believe 2 + 2 = 4 (double think)
And its to “Room 101” I go

My name is Winston and I am a thought criminal
