“They Do, So Shall I” is a poetic critique of blind conformity and the collapse of independent thought. Through stark verses and introspective choruses, the song confronts societal decay driven by laziness, ego, jealousy, and fear. Each chorus flips destructive impulses into their enlightened opposites, urging listeners to seek wisdom, peace, and growth. With vivid imagery—like people marching off cliffs and skies without stars—the lyrics paint a haunting portrait of a world lost in imitation. Yet the outro offers defiance and clarity: the choice to break free. It’s a wake-up call disguised as a melody—sharp, soulful, and unforgettable.
