Artificial from Numb & Godless by Elias of Venus

Yes, this song has 2 ways we can go analysing it, but no, it's not about the world being a simulation in any way. The religious and political route, but it's connected, trust.
We're born with no control over what will happens, but if we're evil enough, we can grow up to control and exploit others, taking away their free will and control over life.
Capitalism makes your life functionless if you don't produce.
Capitalism makes your life functionless if you have your own desires and paths you want to go that won't profit the capital.
It's taboo. It's blasphemy to the system.
We've been handed this script, this code we must follow, but we can't deny it, or else we'll be exterminated.
We can only do as they say. And as they say, we do.
Our systems we've built create us artificial slaves. This world has turned unescapably hollow.
If you don't realise, it's easy to live. But once you've went into the light - no turning back. Bliss is forever gone.
They don't want us to have free will.

Lyrics

Do you think there is a god?
And we're just a product of his imagination...
Does that mean I'm artificial?
Is there such thing as....free will?

Artificial product
Nothing new, nothing sacred
Soulless, meaningless product
Desire's taboo, desire's hatred

We're living in a coded world
With no choice over life
Our brains are programmed to enact
Exterminate or strife

We're living in this coded world
With no choice leading other way
Unless it's coded fact
We march according as arrayed

Coded world and coded life
Artificial by design
Here to stay or here to go
There is no meaning here below

All these rules which we must follow
Unescapable for world so hollow
Can't resist and can't escape
Tortured cruelly - just like rape

Artificial product
Nothing new, nothing sacred
Soulless, meaningless product
Desire's taboo, desire's hatred

Blasphemy will send to hell
You won't return, in emptiness dwell
The code's now seethrough, in truth you fell
In painful reality you must swell

Blasphemy will send to hell
You won't return, in emptiness dwell
The code's now seethrough, in truth you fell
In painful reality you must swell

Ignorance is bliss
Ignorance is bliss
Ignorance is bliss
Ignorance is bliss

There is no such thing as free will
