Lyrics
The daily commute squeezes me dry
The daily routine exhausts me completely.
Nine to five consumes me alive
A standard workday feels like it's draining the life out of me.
Familiar faces of travesty
Familiar faces experiencing tragedy or disaster.
I watch them run the wheel in harmony
Observing people trapped in a cycle of routine, working in unison.
Rise of the rotten
Emergence of decay and deterioration.
The dying breed
A diminishing group of individuals.
Souls of the barren
Souls devoid of life or meaning.
I will plant the seed
The artist will introduce a new way of thinking or a different perspective.
Rise of the rotten
Continuation of the decline of a specific group.
The dying breed
A diminishing group of individuals.
Souls of the barren
Souls devoid of life or meaning.
I will plant the seed
The artist will introduce a new way of thinking or a different perspective.
Staggering scuffed black
Unsteady and worn-out footwear symbolizing the working class's struggles.
Working class resentment
Resentment among those who work hard for a living.
Whisky on the rocks
Seeking solace in alcohol after facing disappointment.
Swallow cold disappointment
Swallowing the bitter taste of unfulfilled expectations.
Worlds apart, the lies we are fed
Divergence between reality and the false narratives we are told.
I choose not to fucking tread
Choosing not to follow the prescribed path.
They told me to live the American dream
The contrast between the American dream and the artist's actual experience.
A nightmare conjuring my grand esteem
A twisted version of success conflicting with the artist's aspirations.
I live to seek an important noise
Striving for a meaningful and impactful existence.
I live free with a sovereign voice
Living freely with an independent and influential voice.
A liberal slave bows to the faceless
A person with liberal views constrained by faceless authorities.
A masked facade restraints society
A false appearance limits societal progress.
Worlds apart, the lies we are fed
Divergence between reality and the false narratives we are told.
I choose not to fucking tread
Choosing not to conform to societal expectations.
They told me to live the American dream
The contrast between the American dream and the artist's actual experience.
A nightmare conjuring my grand esteem
A twisted version of success conflicting with the artist's aspirations.
I live to seek an important noise
Striving for a meaningful and impactful existence.
I live free with a sovereign voice
Living freely with an independent and influential voice.
Illuminate the empire of the unsung
Shining light on the unrecognized or unheard part of society.
Illuminate the empire of the unsung
Continuation of shedding light on the neglected or unnoticed aspects.
They told me to live the American dream
The contrast between the American dream and the artist's actual experience.
A nightmare conjuring my grand esteem
A twisted version of success conflicting with the artist's aspirations.
I live to seek an important noise
Striving for a meaningful and impactful existence.
I live free with a sovereign voice
Living freely with an independent and influential voice.
We won't fall to the American nightmare
Rejecting succumbing to the negative aspects of the American dream.
