Yellow Fangs
Yellow Fangs: Unveiling the Shadows of Profits and Virtue
Lyrics
Sometimes it's hard to see
Sometimes, understanding the truth is challenging.
What we hold exceeds our humanity
What we value surpasses our human qualities.
Sift through the extremities
Examining the extremes or limits of our experiences.
Curating what it means
Thoughtfully selecting and organizing the significance of things.
Without an ounce of shame
Acting without guilt or remorse.
Profiting off of others pain
Gaining benefits or advantages from the suffering of others.
Is it something you can claim
Can you rightfully lay claim to such actions?
Biting down with them yellow fangs
Using metaphorical "yellow fangs" to depict harmful intentions or actions.
Them yellow fangs
Reinforcing the idea of harmful actions with repetition.
The bird scrounges for bites and bits
Describing a bird scavenging for sustenance.
Its chicks can't get enough of it
Its offspring eagerly consuming whatever is provided.
Not caring that they're eating shit
Indifferent to the negative aspects of what they consume.
With virtue on the fritz
Values like virtue are in disarray or decline.
At the end of our wits
At the limits of our patience or understanding.
Words to be hallowed
Words that should be revered or respected.
How low, how low
Expressing dismay at the degradation of values.
Without an ounce of shame
Reiteration of acting shamelessly without guilt.
Profiting off of others pain
Gaining from the pain of others without remorse.
Is it something you can claim
Questioning the legitimacy of claiming such actions.
Biting down with them yellow fangs
Continuing the metaphor of harmful actions with "yellow fangs."
Without an ounce of shame
Repeating the theme of shameless profiting from others' pain.
(From your chateau)
Specifying the lack of shame in a luxurious residence (chateau).
Profiting off of others pain
Reiterating the profit from others' pain, emphasizing the depth of degradation.
(How low, how low)
Expressing how low the situation has become.
Is it something you can claim
Pondering the legitimacy or entitlement to such actions.
(Shall not refrain)
Asserting the persistence of harmful actions without restraint.
Biting down with them yellow fangs
Repeating the metaphorical "yellow fangs" in the context of biting down.
Them yellow fangs
Reiteration of the harmful and predatory nature represented by "yellow fangs."
