about

Dogma is told from the perspective of an egotistical individual who believes only in having things the way they like regardless of the consequences to themselves or others. The quietened, sadistic vocals exemplify the temptation that is faced by many to act in a negative, self-interested way despite knowing that, in the end, nobody is better off from this behaviour. The selfish attitude of the lyrics is mimicked by the chaotic nature of the song.

lyrics

Follow my lead and you'll see,
The way that it should be,
Misplacing convictions,
I'll always be the centrepiece,
Falsely claiming, deprecating,
The fact of the matter is
It's easier on your eyes,
To see it how you want it to be.

Formulate, Fabricate,
Just to hide the guilt, the shame,
Intimidate, manipulate,
Just to have your way.

Guided by a blinding light,
The irony is never so
black and white, dark or bright,
Submit to what you need,
Truth-forsaking,
Self-inflating,
Everything changes,
Bound by unfulfillment,
Imprisoned by what you believe.

Formulate, Fabricate,
Just to hide the guilt, the shame,
Intimidate, manipulate,
Just to have your way.

Formulate, Fabricate,
Just to hide the guilt, the shame,
Intimidate, manipulate,
Just to have your way.
