From The Wilderness
Defiant Echoes: Architects' Reflection on Human Imperfection
Lyrics
There is no end game, so whisper the truth and pass on the blame
Expressing the idea that there is no ultimate goal or resolution, urging to reveal the truth and avoid responsibility.
Just put us out of our misery
Desiring to end suffering or hardship by any means.
This defeat is a victory
Suggesting that facing defeat can be a form of triumph or learning.
We're burning out, we're fading away
Conveying a sense of exhaustion and gradual disappearance.
A failed evolution
Questioning if the failed evolution itself is the solution being sought.
Is the problem the solution that they've been searching for?
Pondering whether the problem is the very solution people are looking for.
We're waiting for the world to save itself
Expressing a passive stance, waiting for the world to save itself.
'Cause nothing is built to last
Highlighting the transient nature of things, as nothing is built to last.
We're writing our epitaph
Symbolically writing a self-reflective statement on one's own demise.
So reset and start again
Encouraging a reset and a fresh start due to the inevitability of the situation.
'Cause we all know how this ends
Indicating awareness of the predictable outcome of a situation.
Before long we'll be dead and gone
Anticipating a future where everyone will be deceased and forgotten.
A thorn in the side of the earth
Portraying humanity as a burden or problem for the Earth.
Where do you draw the line?
Posing a question about ethical boundaries and decision-making.
A flaw in the design
Identifying a flaw in the overall design of existence.
The rest is history
Referring to past events as part of the overall narrative.
This defeat is a victory
Reiterating the idea that defeat can be a form of victory or growth.
We're burning out, we're fading away
Reinforcing the themes of burnout and gradual disappearance.
We're all guilty as sin
Acknowledging collective guilt or responsibility.
I feel it, I feel it under my skin
Sensing guilt on a personal level, felt deeply.
Always up in arms, without lifting a finger
Describing a state of constant readiness for conflict without taking action.
Lifting a finger
Emphasizing the lack of proactive involvement despite the awareness of issues.
We may be infinite, but this world is not
Contemplating the infinite nature of individuals in contrast to the finite nature of the world.
Something that we once knew, that we long forgot
Reminiscing about something known but forgotten, possibly referencing lost wisdom.
We're waiting for the world to save itself
Repeating the passive stance, waiting for a self-saving world.
'Cause nothing is built to last
Reiterating the impermanence of structures and entities.
We're writing our epitaph
Symbolically inscribing a statement on the end of existence.
So reset and start again
Advocating for a reset and a new beginning due to the cyclical nature of outcomes.
'Cause we all know how this ends
Recognizing the predictable conclusion of events or situations.
Before long we'll be dead and gone
Anticipating the eventual death and disappearance of all.
We're all guilty as sin
Acknowledging shared guilt or culpability among all individuals.
I feel it, I feel it under my skin
Intensely feeling personal guilt or responsibility.
Always up in arms, without lifting a finger
Describing a constant state of readiness for conflict without active involvement.
Lifting a finger
Reiterating the lack of action despite being aware of issues.
We may be infinite, but this world is not
Contemplating the infinite nature of individuals and the forgotten knowledge about the world.
Something that we once knew, that we long forgot
Highlighting a past awareness or understanding of the world that has been lost or neglected.
