about

This tune was initially conceived in a high school lockdown drill.

lyrics

Throw some drops of dye in the water
Forget what it originally was
Tell yourself to never get caught up
In anything that resembles a puzzle

This has happened just about every time it gets dark
You feel what you've been told is called "freedom"
Find yourself disgusted at bland remarks
But never when you're starting to speak them

Oh lockdown
Tell all your friends you're on lockdown
Before you're locked in...

Lets all mosey over into the corner
Its so comfortable when everyone's here
Its a battle for excitable boredom
But don't discuss the unexplainable tears

No, trust me, child your mind ain't feelin' weird
You just gotta betray any analog fears

And then you'll break lockdown
Tell all your friends you broke lockdown
Just kidding, you're still locked in

Remove those drops of dye from the water
Observe what it originally was
Find that you will always get caught up
In anything that resembles a puzzle

And it still happens just about every time it gets dark
You feel what you've been told is called freedom
Find yourself disgusted at bland remarks
But realize that you're destined to speak them

Oh lockdown
Tell all your friends you're on lockdown
Oh lockdown
Tell all your friends you're on lockdown
Oh lockdown
Tell all your friends you're on lockdown

Cause you're forever locked in
