ANTITYPE’s new song “Cynical Empire” explores themes of illusion, despair and the struggle to maintain a facade in this dystopian world.
The song’s haunting lyrics and emotive vocals paint a vivid picture of being trapped in a cycle of pretending and hiding the true self. “Cynical Empire” offers a raw and honest portrayal of the internal battles that many face in a society that often values appearances over authenticity.

Cynical Empire
I’m the king
Masquerade
To hide away
My shadow and my ghost
But through the lens
Of black despair
I’m putting on a royal show
Creating fiction
While my soul slowly dies
Anticipating dead wind
We’re building hope on lies
Tired of pretending
I rule an empty world
I rule an empty world
I’m the king
Of my cynical empire
My illusions never fail
I’m my king
Of this cynical empire
Smoke and mirrors, hollow crowns
A dystopian abyss
I’m the king
I’m the king
Bound by beliefs
Set so high
I’m barely getting by
Forcing smiles
I breathe to pretend
That I am still alive
Creating fiction
While my soul almost dies
Anticipating dead wind
We kill hope with words like knives
Tired of pretending
I rule an empty world
I’m the king
Of my cynical empire
My illusions never fail
I’m my king
Of this cynical empire
Smoke and mirrors, hollow crowns
A dystopian abyss
I’m the king
I’m the king
I was made of fragile lies
But now I’m stepping out of my shadow
No more living in disguise
It’s time to cut the line
And finally resign
I was king
Of my cynical empire
My illusions finally failed
I was king
Of this cynical empire
All smoke and mirrors, hollow crowns
A dystopian abyss
I was king
I was king
