Bring Me The Horizon - Obey Lyrics

Bring Me The Horizon Lyrics

"Obey"
(feat. YUNGBLUD)

Another day another post-traumatic order
Brainwashed and feeling fine
I bit off more than I could chew when I looked closer
So I stabbed a fork in my eye
Think I'm losing my fucking mind
Don't know where to turn, now I'm blind
Destroy yourself it feels so good to fade away
Why, d'you wanna hurt yourself?
Die, for something else?
Don't let your conscience get in the way

Obey
We hope you have a lovely day
Obey
You don't want us to come out and play
Away, now now
There's nothing to see here
It's under control
We're only gambling with your soul
Obey
Whatever you do, just don't wake up and smell the corruption

(Do you feel that? Yeah)

Another day another systematic nightmare
Commemorate a wonderful life
Bite me first I'll bite you back
Melodramatic laughter
I stabbed a knife in my eye
Think I'm out my fucking mind
Brainwashed and I'm feeling fine
Destroy yourself it feels too good to fade away
Why, do I wanna hurt myself?
Should I die for something else?
I let my conscience get in the way

Obey
We hope you have a lovely day
Obey
You don't want us to come out and play
Away, now now
There's nothing to see here
It's under control
We're only gambling with your soul
Obey
Whatever you do, just don't wake up and smell the corruption

When your freedom is lethal
Tell me how you're gonna hurt yourself
You call yourselves peaceful
You monsters are people

You fucking monsters are people

Obey
We're gonna show you how to behave
Obey
It's nicer when you can't see the chains

Obey
We hope you have a lovely day
Obey
You don't want us to come out and play
Away, now now
There's nothing to see here
It's under control (It's under control)
We're only gambling with your soul (With your soul)
Obey
Whatever you do, just don't wake up and smell the corruption

Smell the corruption
Smell the corruption

"Obey" is the third single from Bring Me The Horizon's "Posthuman" EP. The song was premiered as Annie Mac's Hottest Record on Radio 1 on the 2nd of September 2020.

The music video for this song, published on the 2nd of September 2020, was directed by Bring Me The Horizon's vocalist, Oli Sykes. He told Forbes about the song just before its release, "It was very much inspired by everything that's going on, and very much from the side of the oppressor. I think everyone has been stopped in their tracks, and I think a lot of people are realizing that maybe the people in charge aren't looking out for our best interest. [...] They want us all to be controlled and not really think too much about the way things work and not ask too many questions. It's very inspired by the generation now that is fighting that."

Yungblud told about this collaboration, "We crossed paths at festivals and I've been a massive Bring Me fan my whole life. We're from the same place, and they were kind of part of my soul. We just like met each other and fell in love and had a baby, we had a song child."

Speaking during Triple J Breakfast, Oli Sykes told about this song's theme, "We're subjected to horrifying, tragic, traumatising stuff on a near daily basis... We're fed this information in way that we're not meant to react to it. [...] The worst thing ever has just happened but don't panic; it's fine, we're taking care of it."
