About This Track

'SYSTEMATIC' by While She Sleeps is a 2021 metal track from the album 'SLEEPS SOCIETY'. The lyrics present a tense, disillusioned speaker confronting a damaged world, then turning to themes of self-deception and energy turning hostile. Lines like “Negative energy consumes” set a claustrophobic tone, as breathing becomes frantic and the song repeats ideas of hysteria and fear. The viewpoint stays resolute and exhausted, ending on a clear sense of being done with the situation.

"SYSTEMATIC" is a track by While She Sleeps, from the album SLEEPS SOCIETY, released 15th April 2021. The track is 2:57 long. It's filed under Metal. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 4 articles about While She Sleeps.

Lyrics

SYSTEMATIC

(This world is broken)
I know that we're only elements imbalancing
Go put the mirror down
We give everything just to seem innocent
Negative energy consumes
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Hysteria
The consequence of fear
Hysteria
There's no way out of here
I'm so over this
I wanna snuff the wick
I'm fucking done with it
Ask no questions hear no lies
Life is just a gateway drug
(But what's left in it for us?)
It goes like
I don't want it
Just 'cause you have it
I don't want it
Fuck, you're systematic
I don't want it
Just 'cause you have it
No doubt about it
I don't want your bullshit
Fuck, you're systematic
I'm shook
Never should've given a fuck
We're just giving it up like it's dead to us
I'm shook
Bend the lie, it will all be over soon enough
Life is just a gateway drug
It's unconditional lust
It goes like
I don't want it
Just 'cause you have it
I don't want it
Fuck, you're systematic
I don't want it
Just 'cause you have it
No doubt about it
I don't want your bullshit
Fuck, you're systematic
(Woo)
(Woo)
(Hell yeah)
(Woo)
I know that we're only elements imbalancing
Go put the mirror down
We give everything just to seem innocent
Negative energy consumes
(what)
I'm so over this
Never give up, never give in
Never gonna let the negative energy win, what?
Never give up, never give in
Never let the negative consume
I'm so over this
I'm so over this
I'm so over this
