    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.

    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.

    0:02 The theme park is called Oblivia, meaning we're oblivious to what's going on in the world
    0:22 people continuously making selfies: referring to today's social media obsession
    0:29 the cotton candy are shaped like atomic bomb clouds
    0:37 American dream enablers wearing space masks. They very much resemble the World Nobles from One Piece; a privileged rank in humanity that cannot bear to breathe the same air as normal humans so they wear this uniforms. They would always keep a gun with them in case anyone lesser would question or fight them, then they would kill them instantly
    1:05 The "Great American Dream Drop", the ride with the houses falling symbolizing the housing crisis with people getting evicted because they can't make their mortgage payments
    1:20 more reference to social media obsession
    1:30 the sign indicates the year ''1984'', could very much be a reference to ''1984'' by George Orwell, a book about a dystopian society
    1:35 the man next to Katy gets more validation, despite doing the exact same thing as her
    1:48 an attraction named ''No Place Like Home'' throws people over a white picket fence, obviously referring to Trump's immigration policies. The woman who gets thrown over the fence looks like she's wearing some type of headscarf, so that might be a reference to the Muslim ban
    1:50 "BOMBS AWAY" when Katy sings "thought we could do better than that"
    2:00 people in line for a wheel. The white man 2:05 continues to run successfully without running out, but the black man (2:35) and Asian woman (2:38) fall down on their way
    2:23 oil/water crisis
    2:45 the people around Katy watch a big event and continue to be in a trance-like state, unable to notice what is happening around them. Katy however (3:02) realizes that something is wrong. Could be a reference to the election.
    The 3D glasses could also, however, be about the media controlling people/references how people watch cable news passively without really taking in what's going on in the world

    HIDDEN MESSAGES IN THIS VIDEO CLIP:
    0:03 - A theme park called "Oblivia".
    0:22 - Comments on everyone's obsession with social media.
    0:30 - Cotton candy in the form of atomic bombs.
    0:42 - Katy pricks her finger, showing that even if everything looks perfect, it is not what it seems.
    0:48 - Roller coaster separated by sex, reinforcing a heteronormative lifestyle.
    1:07 - An amusement park shows houses falling, referring to the fall in the housing market.
    1:20 - Everyone's obsession with social media gratification.
    1:30 - The sign says 1984, a possible link to the 1984 novel, which describes a dystopian society where people are constantly monitored.
    1:37 - Katy's male counterpart gets a much higher validation score for doing the same thing as her, a woman.
    1:46 - The 'There's no place like home' ride throws people back on the fence - an obvious allusion to Trump's immigration ban / wall.
    1:50 - The "Bombs Away" tour shows a flood of bombs falling.
    2:15 - 'Hell H20' seems to comment on the world's dependence on oil and its impact not only on the environment, but also on our own bodies.
    2:39 - A hamster wheel that a white man seems to navigate successfully is incredibly difficult for a black man and an Asian woman who fail.
    2:40- Society giving roles to women and men (the typical housewife and the husband reading the news).
    2:50 - Katy is the only person able to see the "Nuclear Family" video being played to see the darkest truth behind it.
    3:46 - Katy successfully wins the hamster wheel; hope for the future?
    some are still missing, but you guys already understood!
    Now are you starting to understand the messages that Witness has? There are many more there, just open your eyes and ears to understand.
    This album is WONDERFUL. The true is that Katy brought a political position in which she had not brought in her previous albums which ended up causing strangeness in people. In addition, there is the fact that she detonated Trump at the time of the American election and that made the Republican part of the U.S. hate her. I feel sorry for her, because she didn't deserve the hate she took in any way. This album is ahead of its time!
    and since you are here, give the recognition that the queen deserves:

    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.

    0:22 people continuously making selfies: referring to today's social media obsession
    0:29 the cotton candy are shaped like atomic bomb clouds
    0:40 the rose is barbed wire
    00:53 men and woman couples, Lgtbi are not incluided
    1:20 more reference to social media obsession
    1:30 the sign indicates the year ''1984'', could very much be a reference to ''1984'' by George Orwell, a book about a dystopian society
    1:35 the man next to Katy gets more validation, despite doing the exact same thing as her
    1:48 an attraction named ''No Place Like Home'' throws people over a fence, obviously referring to Trump's immigration policies
    1:50 "BOMBS AWAY" when Katy sings "thought we could do better than that"
    2:00 people in line for a wheel. The white man 2:05 continues to run successfully without running out, but the black man (2:35) and Asian woman (2:38) fall down on their way
    2:23 oil/water crisis
    2:45 the people around Katy watch a big event and continue to be in a trance-like state, unable to notice what is happening around them. Katy however (3:02) realizes that something is wrong. Could be a reference to the election.
    And about the video of the hamster shows us the monotony that drives our society, which we must wake up.
    The hands are the state that handles and imposes, the hamster is us, we just keep there letting ourselves rule without doing anything. WE HAVE TO WAKE UP RIGHT NOW. In some way the name of the video should be "Chained to the system"

    - The Love Me roller coaster, the like, love Facebook icons appeared in the tunnel: We all addicted to social media. And you noticed that Simon got more likes than Rose - Masculinity dominated society.
    - A man thrown accross the wall that said "Safe Trip Home": Probably it's about the Trump's Mexican Wall thing.
    - The "Bombs Away" Game: War, Nuclear weapon.
    - Inferno H2O: Global warming.
    - A black man and a Asian woman fell while running in the hamster wheel, and right after that the video show a family of white people: Racism.
    - The weird face Katy made at the end of the video: She realized that the world she living in is no point, just back and forth like the dance, no progress.

      Just as in the days of Noah, the people didn't want to listen, even for 120 years they were given warnings about what was going to come, but they wanted to remain blind... 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.

    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❤

      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.

      ​@@aamir6892 Not to mention, but this song has a lot of possible interpretations. Everyone who listened to the lyrics beyond the chorus knows it's a social critique, but people disagree on what it's critiquing. 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.

Example, lets say they prepare people for an alien invasion with movie propaganda (pretty much) and music , It happens and the people have been prepared yet we believe the whistle blowers on t.v risked their lives, But what if it is a government manufactured invasion and you were SUPPOSED to accept it and know about it... 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
