Crisis Time
Navigating the Turmoil: Unveiling the Meaning Behind 'Crisis Time'
Lyrics
There's a feeling about myself that I can't understand
Expressing confusion or uncertainty about a personal feeling.
It's a foreboding sense that I see all around the land
Sensing a pervasive and ominous atmosphere in the surroundings.
When the wheel of fortune turns progressively depraved
Describing a worsening state as luck or fate becomes morally corrupted.
It's the manifestation of a biospheric decay
Referring to the visible consequences of environmental deterioration.
Keep yourself in line, there's no design
Encouraging self-discipline without a predetermined plan or purpose.
The new paradigm is crisis time
Highlighting the emergence of a crisis as a new norm or pattern.
Luxury was privilege and I knew it all along
Acknowledging the awareness of luxury as a privilege.
But to let human reason get trumped by emotion is wrong
Criticizing the subordination of reason to emotion as morally incorrect.
All the bonds were broken when I said I loved you so
Reflecting on broken relationships and the rejection of unrealistic fantasies.
But rejection of a fantasy is just a way to help you grow
Suggesting that rejecting fantasies aids personal growth.
Keep yourself in line, there's no design
Reiterating the call for self-discipline without a clear plan.
The new paradigm is crisis time
Emphasizing crisis as a new and prevailing paradigm or model.
Keep yourself in line, there's no design
Repeating the call for self-discipline in the absence of a defined plan.
The new paradigm is crisis time
Reiterating the idea that crisis has become the new norm.
There's a feeling about myself, I feel it oh so strong
Expressing a strong and enduring personal feeling.
It's a romantic notion and I've cared about it far too long
Acknowledging a prolonged attachment to a romantic notion.
On the crest of progress we can't balance on the wave
Describing the difficulty of maintaining balance during progress.
If the measure of success is only tallied in the lives we save
Suggesting that success should be measured beyond the number of lives saved.
Keep yourself in line, there's no design
Repeating the call for self-discipline without a predetermined plan.
The new paradigm is crisis time
Reaffirming crisis as the prevailing paradigm or model.
Keep yourself in line, there's no design
Repeating the call for self-discipline in the absence of a defined plan.
The new paradigm is crisis time
Reiterating the idea that crisis has become the new norm.
