Lyrics
When it began, this was a place for the outcasts with nowhere to call their home.
At the beginning, this place welcomed outcasts without a home.
It was about a release. The world ceased. It was a shelter from the outside.
Originally, it provided a release and refuge from the outside world.
Now it's about the moves you make. Now it's about the games you play.
Now it's focused on actions and strategies, no longer just a sanctuary.
It's not about the dedication. It's about the industry.
The emphasis has shifted from dedication to the influence of the industry.
You chose the lie over honesty. You put the hype before integrity.
Choosing falsehood over honesty and prioritizing hype over integrity.
Take me back to the days of honest hearts. It was about the passion. It was about the art.
Nostalgia for a time when it was about genuine passion and art.
(Take me back)
Expresses a desire to return to those honest-hearted days.
Now it's your image and who you know instead of talent that defines your growth.
Currently, success is defined by image and connections rather than talent.
(Take me back)
Reiterating the longing to return to a better, purer past.
We had to learn from our stumbles and falls, when it was all so beautifully flawed.
Reflecting on the need to learn from mistakes during a flawed but beautiful time.
It used to be about expressing your mind, but now that message is harder and harder to find.
Highlighting the shift from expressing oneself to a more elusive message.
You're more concerned with what they'll think then truly saying anything.
Concerned with societal judgment rather than genuine expression.
What once was pure, you tainted. Indifference, you've created.
The once pure has been tainted, indifference has been created.
Now gimmicks lead to fame. Now everybody sounds the same.
Now, success is achieved through gimmicks, resulting in uniformity.
You chose the lie over honesty. You put the hype before integrity.
Reiteration of the choice for lies and hype over truth and integrity.
Take me back to the days of honest hearts. It was about the passion. It was about the art.
Nostalgia for the days when passion fueled artistic expression.
(Take me back)
Expressing the desire to return to the era of honest hearts.
Now it's your image and who you know instead of talent that defines your growth.
Currently, success is defined by image and connections rather than talent (repeated).
(Take me back)
Reiterating the longing to return to a better, purer past (repeated).
We had to learn from our stumbles and falls, when it was all so beautifully flawed.
Reflecting on the need to learn from mistakes during a flawed but beautiful time (repeated).
Take me back to the days of honest hearts. Take me back to when the passion fueled the art.
Repetition of the plea to return to the days when passion fueled art.
