Remaining Light
Breaking Chains: Unveiling the Message in 'Remaining Light'
Lyrics
In the heat of the night,
In the midst of the nighttime
something is on my mind.
Something occupies my thoughts
A lot isn't right,
Many things are wrong
In fact, it's a crime.
In fact, it amounts to a crime
I'm not telling you,
I'm not explicitly stating it
(because) you know why
Due to the fact that you already understand
we're having a hard time
We are facing difficulties
shining a light.
In shedding light or clarity
Looking for a reaction? I know I've got mine.
Are you seeking a response? I acknowledge my own reaction.
How is there no connection between guns and lost lives
Why is there no apparent link between firearms and lost lives?
There is no magic solution to survive
There isn't a magical solution for survival
We need immediate action to dismantle sides
Immediate action is required to disassemble opposing factions
This hegemonic oppression, It doesn't matter why.
This dominating oppression, the reason behind it doesn't matter
(We need) to acknowledge dominion,
Recognition of authority is essential
because colour is not a crime
Because one's skin color should not be considered a crime
I don't want to mention how many more times?
I choose not to quantify how many instances have occurred
Looking for a reaction? I know I've got mine.
Are you seeking a response? I acknowledge my own reaction.
How is there no connection between guns and lost lives.
Why is there no apparent link between firearms and lost lives?
There is no magic solution to survive.
There isn't a magical solution for survival
We need immediate action to dismantle sides.
Immediate action is required to disassemble opposing factions
