Song Meaning of “Minds Are Controlled” by Corrosion Of Conformity
This song is about how society can shape the way people think. It questions the idea that we don’t have any control of our own minds – that they are held captive by the rules and customs of the world and that we must conform to them. The chorus chant of “Minds are controlled, minds that can’t be owned” speaks to this idea of being unable to control our own thoughts and beliefs, while the lyrics question why people are expected to act in a certain way that is dictated by society. The song also speaks to the idea of not being able to fight the pressures of the outside world and how these pressures can affect the way we think and act. It’s a bleak reminder of the power of conformity and its effects on society and those that refuse to give into it.
