    LYRICS:
    Are we crazy
    Living our lives through a lens
    Trapped in our white picket fence
    Like ornaments
    So comfortable, we’re living in a bubble, bubble
    So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, trouble
    Aren’t you lonely
    Up there in utopia
    Where nothing will ever be enough
    Happily numb
    So comfortable, we’re living
    in a bubble, bubble
    So comfortable, we cannot
    see the trouble, trouble
    So put your rose-colored glasses on
    And party on
    Turn it up, it’s your favorite song
    Dance, dance, dance to the distortion
    Turn it up, keep it on repeat
    Stumbling around like a wasted zombie
    Yeah, we think we’re free
    Drink, this one’s on me
    We’re all chained to the rhythm
    To the rhythm
    To the rhythm
    Turn it up, it’s your favorite song
    Dance, dance, dance to the distortion
    Turn it up, keep it on repeat
    Stumbling around like a wasted zombie
    Yeah, we think we’re free
    Drink, this one’s on me
    We’re all chained to the rhythm
    To the rhythm
    To the rhythm
    Are we tone deaf
    Keep sweeping it under the mat
    Thought we could do better than that
    I hope we can
    So comfortable, we’re living in a bubble, bubble
    So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, trouble
    So put your rose-colored glasses on
    And party on
    Turn it up, it’s your favorite song
    Dance, dance, dance to the distortion
    Turn it up, keep it on repeat
    Stumbling around like a wasted zombie
    Yeah, we think we’re free
    Drink, this one’s on me
    We’re all chained to the rhythm
    To the rhythm
    To the rhythm
    Turn it up, it’s your favorite song
    Dance, dance, dance to the distortion
    Turn it up, keep it on repeat
    Stumbling around like a wasted zombie
    Yeah, we think we’re free
    Drink, this one’s on me
    We’re all chained to the rhythm
    To the rhythm
    To the rhythm
    It is my desire
    Break down the walls to connect, inspire
    Up in your high place, liars
    Time is ticking for the empire
    The truth they feed is feeble
    As so many times before
    They greed over the people
    They stumbling and fumbling
    And we about to riot
    They woke up, they woke up
    the lions
    Turn it up, it’s your favorite song
    Dance, dance, dance to the distortion
    Turn it up, keep it on repeat
    Stumbling around like a wasted zombie
    Yeah, we think we’re free
    Drink, this one’s on me
    We’re all chained to the rhythm
    To the rhythm
    To the rhythm

    "Chained to the Rhythm" by Katy Perry is a pop song that carries a social and political message. The lyrics critique societal complacency and the tendency for people to become numb or indifferent to important issues. The "rhythm" in the song represents the routine and distractions that people often immerse themselves in, while being oblivious to the larger problems in the world.
    The song encourages listeners to break free from the "chained" rhythm of life, awaken to reality, and engage with the world around them. It addresses themes such as political apathy, conformity, and the impact of media consumption on shaping perspectives. The chorus emphasizes the idea that people are dancing to a certain rhythm without fully understanding or questioning the implications of their actions.
    Overall, "Chained to the Rhythm" is a call for awareness, urging individuals to be more conscious of the world's issues and to actively participate in making positive changes rather than passively accepting the status quo.

    Basically she's saying that, were all so comfortable that we do not even realize the scary realities of this world and it just goes on and on, it's pretty much just like saying the tune of the music is so fun we aren't aware of the deep lyrics this song contains.

      We graduate, get a job, poop some kids out and then we die. We've been comfortable doing this so nobody really tries to break it.

    I cannot believe it took you guys 3 YEARS to figure out the message of this song. Truly was ahead of her time. She was awake before us, and now she can’t even crack the top 10 and she’s actually scared now to promote her music and speak up on political issues because of how twisted her words got and how traumatized she was from the hate over a haircut and songs with REAL MEANING. KATY deserves better. My ride or die.

    Very very deep. Everyone in this world seems to be chained to the rhythm which symbolizes social media or trending thoughts. Most of us have fell into the life of "parrot", we speak what others are speaking, we do what others are doing, we play what others are playing, we wear what others are wearing, even those things are NOT comfortable or suitable for us. We follow everyone else's steps, we lose our own style, we lose our own comfortable way of living, we lose our own creative thinking. What are the things left? Just brains without minds, thoughts without ideas and bodies without souls. We are all manipulated, we are all modified, we are all chained to the rhythm.

    Everytime i listen to this song, it reminds me of how superficial society is. Social media focuses on portraying parties and espiritually empty stuff. We try to fill the holes in our souls by purchasing more and more unnecessary items instead of seeing those in need. I am not saying we need to radically change the world. But small steps, if more people took them, would drastically reduce suffering on Earth. Think for instance about what you just had for lunch. Was there a once living being's corpse on your plate and now in your stomach? By eating animals you are causing an enormous amount of suffering. But who cares. Let's put our pink-coloured glasses on. Cause eyes that don't see, heart that doesn't feel. Go vegan to start creating a less horrible world❤

      KATY PERRY IS BEING SABOTAGED BY CAPITOL RECORDS, HERE'S WHY AND HOW. (A THREAD)
      1) In 2017, Katy released a political song Chained To The Rhythm, before that she was very vocal in politics, CTTR did pretty well on charts. But then she released Bon Appetit with Migos. Migos is an openly transphobic trio and Katy is LGBT+ supporter. Which means Capitol forced her
      2) Bon Appetit was set to release solo but it got a feature on it on the last minute, and Katy got so much hate from it. When she was accused of being transphobic, her team did NOTHING to fix her image.
      3) In 2018, Capitol's CEO confirmed that they were "disappointed" by Witness' unsuccess. And stated that they have a plan for Katy that they're excited for. But nothing happened in 2018. You can read his full conversation here
      4)Katy released Harley's In Hawaii in 2019, which was a fan-favourite, was the fastest Katy Perry song ever to enter iTunes USA Top 10. But the song wasnt sent to the radios, it got sent later when the hype died down.
      5)What is more strange about this is that even though HIH was so fast to enter the top 10, the song wouldnt come up when you searched it on iTunes. The song fell so quick. It lasted only 10 days on the chart even though its sudden success
      6)Katy released Daisies, her lead single from her album earlier this year along with the music video. Daisies went #1 on iTunes and managed to say in the chart for over a month. But however, the song wasnt sent to the radios.
      7)as you can see from the song's chart success, the song got out of the itunes chart after four weeks of release. The song was sent to the radios right after it got out of the chart, but the hype was already dead. and after 2 weeks, the song was taken back from the radios
      8)Smile performance video was posted on UA-cam without Katy knowing, after it got posted by her team, they deleted it. And posted it again on the right time. But the video already had over 500k views before they deleted. Also reminder that Smile was leaked 2 months before release.
      9)Why would Capitol sabotage Katy, why is it good for them? Katy has a 5 album contract with capitol which ends with Smile, and Capitol doesnt want her to be a rival to them if she goes to an another company.
      10)Katy is the only executive producer of Smile, which means she financed the album with her own money, because Capitol didnt financially support her
      11)an average album is most likely to get 100 to 300 million playlist support from Spotify, but Smile only got 35 million. Also the whole album got leaked before its release by her own label, they sent the vinyls and cds to fans almost 2 weeks before release.

Is it criticizing people's inability to express their own opinions, or express them in a healthy way? Or does it criticize capitialism in the music industry? I think that Katy had good intentions, but she could've chose one specific theme and stuck to it, and I do agree that if her message was the first priority, she should've self-produced the song.

Former respected nasa employees have outright said it's true, But they don't care , This is an extreme example but this is my point

    Katy is so clever. Don't mistake her for some ditsy pop woman! She knows exactly what she's doing and I applaud her for it. She knows she has a platform and what better way to air current important issues than within her music videos such as this? She does it so subtly too but it's so obvious. This is a breath of fresh air, we really need something like this at a difficult period. We all need to come together and be ready for any upcoming problems.

There was a way to be saved, but they didn't want to care until it was too late. But even when they cared at the moment the rain came, it was only to save their life, not to repent of all the horrible things they were doing...
      There is proof of a world-wide flood, among many other archaeological evidences for the biblical accounts...
      Biblical prophecy has been fulfilled throughout world history, and there is not much left to be fulfilled before the bible is finished.
      People want to remain blind, not learning, making stupid comments like "sky daddy", and remain blind to the truths given...
      God himself came down and suffered as a human in order to show humanity how much he wanted to save them....Even when he showed miracles, they still did not trust him and put him to death..
      Of course being God he rose again after 3 days... His word is true, events throughout world history have come true, even to this day.
      We must use our freedom of choice to make the decision... No one will be forced to be saved if they love this dying world better.

      Well, it's a lot of things. It's technically not super deep, but it's one of my favorite songs of hers simply 'cause it's just like points at how we stick to the status quo of society even if it hurts us little, simply because it feels safe. Change is necessary to improve. But change is also scary, so we stick to what we know. That's why the song is about people chained to the rhythm, even though they can leave at any point. No one wants to leave because they feel safe where they are, even though we all know that something ain't right about that place.
