#soundseasons
My dear friends, I’m sorry for being away for so long , you’ve always been in my heart.💙
To explain this song, I want to share what I feel
about a quote by Jean Baudrillard:
"Populism is a trick promise , where words speak louder than the truth, and showing off replaces real action."
This song is about all leaders and political groups who try to control society through lies, fear, and excitement , just to push their selfish and dishonest goals.
It’s not about one party or one person. It’s about how dangerous ideas are sold with loud words and fake hope.
The only way to escape populism is through public awareness and learning from history.
As George Santayana once said:
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
Wishing for peace and friendship among people and nations.

They promised a voice,
But sold us a slogan.
They offered a choice,
But drew the same token.
One flag, a thousand faces,
One dream, a million cages.
Politiek of populisme
Een spel, een strijd, een illusie.
Stemmen in het donker,
Wij zijn het vuur in de storm.
Oude leugens, nieuwe namen —
Ze breken onze dromen.
Broken promises, polished speeches,
Different suits, same old leeches.
Smile for the cam, hand on the chest,
Sell you a dream, steal all the rest.
Talk real loud, but say nothin’ new,
Shake one hand, stab with two.
Old game, new name still a con,
We play along till the light is gone.
Politiek en populisme,
’t Is één en hetzelfde.
De macht lacht om onze pijn,
Belooft morgen, steelt vandaag.
Stemmen fluisteren: "Verandering komt,"
Maar straten blijven koud,
Gezichten worden oud.
Politiek of populisme
Een spel, een strijd, een illusie.
Stemmen in het donker,
Wij zijn het vuur in de storm.
No heroes on the stage — just mirrors for our rage.
