Sapere aude means “Dare to know”
lyrics
VERSE 1
It started with a question in the dusty streets of Greece
Where Socrates found wisdom by disturbing the peace
He said, “I know nothing,” and paid the highest price
For the courage to look deeper and think twice
Then the light of reason flickered, and a thinker took the stage
Building logical reason, on every every page
You can silence fifty scholars with just one fact
But not a single fool even with fifty facts
CHORUS
“Sapere aude” – dare to think for yourself
Take you all your thought offs of the shelf
“Sapere aude” – don’t follow the crowd
It is a pure folly to shout at a clown
VERSE 2
If you believe in A, then you’ll never see the B
Confirmation bias is making history
When the headlines scream, the outrage starts to sell
Sensationalism drags us to a loud and frantic hell
Everything’s a crisis, and the intolerance is the cost
In the rumour mill of anger, the quiet thought is lost.
Turn off the auto pilot, let the questioning begin
Facts can’t save a world where the fool will win
CHORUS
“Sapere aude” – dare to think for yourself
Take you all your thought offs of the shelf
“Sapere aude” – don’t follow the crowd
It is a pure folly to shout at a clown
