Sonata Arctica - Blank File Lyrics






It is your new best friend, new eye in your private den
And you can find the world inside it every day
They know what you did today, hear everything you say
And when they send you mail,
they know where you will go sometime next day

They know your life, they have a file about you
They built your life, so they...

Know what you like and know what you yearn
but they don't know a thing about me
I'm not that easy, I'm blank file in their memory

Caught in the web again, inside your private den
Where you can go to moon
or meet some people you will never see
You are a file in there, money in an open fair
You're a slave among the slaves, waiting for future with a fear

They know your life, they have a file about you
They built your life, so they...

Know what you like and know what you yearn
but they don't know a thing about me
I'm not that easy, I'm blank file in their memory

Still they try to take over, control my life,
but no one can do it but me
I'm not that easy, I'm blank file in their memory

Oh oh oh

Know what you like and know what you yearn
but they don't know a thing about me
I'm not that easy, I'm blank file in their memory

I am waiting, hoping and praying
to see - how this - will end - when they go down

How can it be, that you cannot see
what they are doing with thee
You are a life, new file in their memory, now they

Know what you like and know what you yearn
but they don't know a thing about me
I'm not that easy, I'm blank file in their memory

Oh oh oh

How can it be, that you cannot see
what they are doing with thee
spending your time, living your life
inside their machines there is one empty file, it is me

    This song reminds me of Watch Dogs 2 where the main character hacks into the mainframe of a corporation that spies on people and he deletes all his files.

  2. r.... s....

    es una cronica de lo q sucederia con el whasap con el face book y otras redes sociales

    Blank File

    It is your new best friend, new eye in your private den
    And you can find the world inside it every day
    They know what you did today, hear everything you say
    And when they send you mail,
    They know where you will go sometime next day
    They know your life, they have a file about you
    They built your life, so they

    Know what you like and know what you yearn
    But they don't know a thing about me
    I'm not that easy, blank file in their memory, yeah
    Caught in the web again, inside your private den
    Where you can go to moon or meet some people you will never see
    You are a file in there, money in an open fair
    You're a slave among the slaves, waiting for future with a fear

    They know your life, they have a file about you
    They built your life, so they
    Know what you like and know what you yearn
    But they don't know a thing about me
    I'm not that easy, blank file in their memory

    Still they try to take over, control my life,
    But no one can do it but me
    I'm not that easy, blank file in their memory
    Know what you like and know what you yearn
    But they don't know a thing about me
    I'm not that easy, blank file in their memory
    I am waiting, hoping and praying
    To see - how this - will end - when they go down

    How can it be, that you cannot see
    What they are doing with thee
    You are a life, new file in their memory, now they
    Know what you like and know what you yearn
    But they don't know a thing about me
    I'm not that easy, blank file in their memory

    How can it be, that you cannot see
    What they are doing with thee
    Spending your time, living your life
    Inside their machines there is one empty file, it is me.

  26. G.... ....

    To think they made this song in back in '99 boy they didn't have any idea of what the internet is capable to do now xD

    Maybe it was about the Matrix?

    Vanden Plas also had a song like this called "Inside Your Head"

    Yes Ian. Yes, my friend. Doesn't really make a dent with new trends.

    I.... T....

    it was 20 years ago.

  31. U.... o....

    its like they are talking about facebook

  32. D.... M....

    Cuando Sonata Arctica daba miedo !!! -_-

    D.... M....

    Creo q exageraste un poco xD

    D.... M....

    LKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

  33. S.... N....

    I want to like this song, I really do, but it's just so damn preachy. If they'd said *we're* being screwed by the Internet, I'd like it more, but it just seems like another one of those "I'm smarter than you" songs. Maybe I shouldn't take it so seriously.

    S.... N....

    I for one want attention (not in a whorey way), my life is (almost) a full open book and low-key have dumb hopes and aspirations of acquiring fame. Maybe that's just me being young speaking from it. Though I don't think the song is speaking of "I'm smarter than you", rather the lyrics just speak from the perspective of someone who REALLY desires privacy. Ironically, being part of a somewhat well known band, the guys who wrote this are known by name and everything as well as having Facebook pages and making live public appearances, etc.

  34. P.... ....

    anti illuminati song ?

    P.... ....

    Just... no.

  35. Y.... P....

    I feel like this song would sound better if it had a female lead vocalist with tony as background

    Y.... P....

    this is the point of Power Metal. Men who have inhumanly high range vocals. It's a thing of beauty. I wish I could sing like this.

  36. s.... ....

    That's "waiting for the future with a fear". How on earth did you get "Y2K"?

    s.... ....

    I fucking know right? Nearly everyone posting this song on YouTube gets this wrong and even most lyric websites! How the fuck do you hear anything besides "waiting for the future with a fear"?

    s.... ....

    It's probably just taken from the booklet. I just checked and it does say "Y2K". There's a lot of inconsistencies between the booklet and the actual lyrics though, like with Fullmoon; "Sitting *on* a corner all alone".

  37. T.... ....

    can't get enough of this amazing song

  38. R.... X....

    It's amazing that at the time they were recording this, the mean age of the band members was 20 years and 3 months! Already virtuosos at that young age...

    R.... X....

    Richard Xavier
    They were probably born with that.

    R.... X....

    thats the most incredible thing about this album

    R.... X....

    Most kids these days, even when I was in High School could play Metallica, Ozzy, Pantera and many Metal bands. I was the only one who played Malmsteen and other Power Bands and even Dream Theater. I wasn't anywhere near John Petrucci's level. But there were some kids that could play Petrucci's material.

    Its not like Talent like this comes when you're in your 30's. It starts in Middle School or High School.

    Jens Johansson played all the Keyboard parts, so someone in the band knew Jens well enough to come in and play the Keyboards

  39. M.... ....

    I agree with the song! no facefucks no other networks, no global control on people. just live your life! nice power metal song and lyrics!

  40. L.... S....

    Can't stop listening to it. 

    L.... S....

    So do I

    L.... S....

    You must touch the option "pause"

  41. V.... S....

    After all these years this rocks like moose!!

  42. C.... T....

    Iḿ trying to remember so hard but i can't. Does anybody knows from which song is this little part which starts at 2:08 

    C.... T....

    +SkullCrusher It is not that song but you are right it sounds so similar. Thanks btw.

    C.... T....

    It can't come from Heartbreak Armageddon since that song was release nine years later.

  43. D.... D....

    how is that possible that you cant understand CLEAN VOCAL what is singing without reading lyrics ? :D
    and then guys like you come to us and shiting on death metal that you dont understand the words...
    well here is the true , you guys dont understand shit except what you read :D

    D.... D....

    I can understand what tony sings clearly dude, maybe it's just you ._.

    D.... D....

    @ls02011 How did you get anything coherent out of that?

    D.... D....

    I don't know haha I just understood what he was singing :v

    D.... D....

    @ls02011 I meant whatever Dugi Devet typed, not what Toni was singing. ;p

    D.... D....

    Ahaa ok haha sorry 

  44. N.... O....

    o dioss!! 2:31

  45. p.... ....

    before social networks even existed too

  46. L.... Z....

    Is this song 'bout Illuminati?

  47. G.... ....

    Exactly my thought :D

  48. R.... E....

    VIVA PERÓN CARAJO!

    R.... E....

    SISISISIIISISISIIS

    R.... E....

    Jajajajajajaja qué le pasaba, aguante el general

    R.... E....

    Contale a tus amigos que él nos da el aguinaldo, las vacaciones pagas y que Hirigoyen nos puso a todos de blanco en las escuelas para que no hubiera diferencia de ningún tipo. Viva por Siempre Perón e Hirigoyen!!!
