Track 4: Dare You To Move by Switchfoot
This song makes me think about 1984 and how Big Brother watches everyone constantly.
“I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move”
When the something like Big Brother is keeping that close of an eye on you it is in a way daring someone to step out of line just to see if they can slip through. The resistance is going to try and move without getting caught so even if it is a small one a slight difference is being started.
“Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to the resistance
The tension is here”
The people who are resisting are more likely to test Big Brother. They are the people thinking for themselves and seeing the flaws from what is going on. They are creating the tension that makes people become erased from society.
“Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here”
When the people test Big Brother they are captured and tortured Big Brother wants to break them before erasing them. Big Brother wants the resistance to go back to being brainwashed and see society as okay. When that happens it proves that Big Brother has won.
The lyric "I dare you to move like today never happened before." Reminds me of 1984 and how they alter the past, like it never happened. I like that you picked this song, usually when I hear it it sounds positive to me, I'm listening to it from a new perspective now, which is cool.
