Chained to the Rhythm

...

In conclusion, most people probably won’t even know of the hidden message Katy Perry made with this song. The song will rotate on the radio, people will listen to it, sing it in the car and then it will become annoying and everyone will forget about it. It is a reality, but Katy decided to show the world that she cares, she is the first one who made that change. As we all know, her previous songs weren’t that specific as “Chained to the Rhythm”. Also, the fact that this song was written with Skip Marley who is known for peace in the world, made the song sound fifty times better. But then again, this song might have a different meaning to everyone. For some individuals, it might sound as a motivational “change yourself” motive, which has nothing to do with politics or media. On the other hand, other people might take it close to their heart and actually go outside and start protesting for no reason, which was actually Katy Perry’s intention: to inspire people. Katy did not make thing all happy and meaningless. Once people realize what she sings about, it won’t be a dance song anymore, it will be more of a motivational serious message to today’s society. Also, Katy Perry most likely gained new older fans after the release of the song, who support her message and who agreed with it.

“Chained to the rhythm” by Katy Perry

Are we crazy? (1)

Living our lives through a lens (2)

Trapped in our white-picket fence (3)

Like ornaments (4)

So comfortable, we live in a bubble, a bubble (5)

So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, the trouble (6)

Aren't you lonely (7)

Up there in utopia (8)

Where nothing will ever be enough? (9)

Happily numb (10)

So comfortable, we live in a bubble, a bubble (11)

So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, the trouble (12)

Ah, so good (13)

Your rose-colored glasses on (14)

And party on (15)

Turn it up, it's your favorite song (16)

Dance, dance, dance to the distortion (17)

Turn it up, keep it on repeat (18)

Stumbling around like a wasted zombie (19)

Yeah, we think we're free (20)

Drink, this one is on me (21)

We're all chained to the rhythm (22)

To the rhythm to the rhythm (23)

Turn it up, it's your favorite song (24)

Dance, dance, dance to the distortion (25)

Turn it up, keep it on repeat (26)

Stumbling around like a wasted zombie (27)

Yeah, we think we're free (28)

Drink, this one is on me (29)

We're all chained to the rhythm (30)

To the rhythm to the rhythm (31)

Are we tone deaf? (32)

Keep sweeping it under the mat (33)

Thought we can do better than that (34)

I hope we can (35)

So comfortable, we live in a bubble, a bubble (36)

So comfortable, we can’t see the trouble, the trouble (37)

Aha, so good (so good) (38)

Your rose-colored glasses on (39)

And party on (40)

Turn it up, it's your favorite song (41)

Dance, dance, dance to the distortion (42)

Turn it up, keep it on repeat (43)

Stumbling around like a wasted zombie (44)

Yeah, we think we're free (45)

Drink, this one is on me (46)

We're all chained to the rhythm (47)

To the rhythm to the rhythm (48)

Turn it up, it's your favorite song (49)

Dance, dance, dance to the distortion (50)

Turn it up, keep it on repeat (51)

Stumbling around like a wasted zombie (52)

Yeah, we think we're free (53)

Drink, this one is on me (54)

We're all chained to the rhythm (55)

To the rhythm to the rhythm (56)

It is my desire (57)

Break down the walls to connect, inspire (58)

Ay, up in your high place, liars (59)

Time is ticking for the empire (60)

The truth they feed is feeble (61)

As so many times before (62)

They greed over the people (63)

They stumbling and fumbling and we're about to riot (64)

They woke up, they woke up the lions (woo!) (65)

Turn it up, it's your favorite song (66)

Dance, dance, dance to the distortion (67)
