《Idiot Box》是美國搖滾樂隊Incubus於20世紀90年代末創作並演唱的另類搖滾歌曲，收錄於專輯《S.C.I.E.N.C.E.》及多張現場專輯中。歌曲由Boyd、Einziger、Katunich等成員共同創作，融合驅動吉他、貝斯等元素，展現了樂隊鮮明的編曲風格。
作品以批判媒介生態為核心主題，通過質問“T.V., what do I need？”直指電視媒體對觀眾意識的操控性。“idiot box”（愚人盒）隱喻螢幕媒介對心智的束縛，歌詞呼籲擺脫電子設備控制、尋求精神自主。從海底到樹梢的意象對比，揭示了人類困於虛擬世界與自然剝離的生存困境，最終以激進宣言強調回歸真實感知的訴求。歌曲通過另類搖滾的張力與批判性文本，形成對技術社會的深刻反思。
基本介紹
- 外文名：Idiot Box
- 原唱：Incubus
You keep your riches and I'll sew my stiches,
You can't make me think like you, mundane.
I've got a message for all those who think that
They can etch his words inside my brain.
T.V., what do I need?
Tell me who to believe!
Whats the use of autonomy
When a button does it all?
So listen up, glisten up closely all,
Who've seen the fuckin' eye ache too.
It's time to step away from cable train.
And when we finally see the subtle light,
This quirk in evolution will begin
To let us live and recreate,
T.V., what do I need?
Tell me who to believe!
Whats the use of autonomy
When a button does it all?
T.V., what should I see?
Tell me who should I be?
Lets do our mom a favor and drop
A new god off a wall.
Let me see past the fatuous knocks.
I've gotta rid myself of this idiot box!
Let you see past the feathers and flocks,
And help me plant a bomb in this idiot box!
From the depths of the sea
To the tops of the trees
To the seat of a lazy boy...
Staring at a silver screen!
