Song Meaning of “Sheep” by Dropdead
‘Sheep’ by Dropdead is an angry punk song about rejecting conformity and societal pressures. The lyrics call out people who passively allow themselves to be controlled by the media and celebrities in order to do as they are told. By referring to them as sheep, the song seeks to point out how these individuals have lost their own sense of individuality and freedom and allows themselves to be part of a larger herd mentality. The chorus’ lyric, “All that I see, a flock of drones, minds so alive, yet so asleep” further emphasizes this idea. The song warns people to be aware of the dangers of submission, encouraging them to stand up and be heard in order to remain individual and keep a sense of agency in their lives.
