Lyrics
For so long we slave under the gun
Expressing the feeling of being controlled or oppressed by external forces, likely societal or personal pressures.
And this war inside is never won
The internal struggle or conflict within oneself is ongoing and doesn't have a clear resolution.
I have always sworn that I won't conform
An affirmation to resist conforming to societal norms or expectations.
I refuse to suffer anymore
Refusing to endure any more pain, suffering, or hardship.
The calm before the storm
A period of peace or tranquility before a difficult or tumultuous time.
You were never warned
A lack of warning or preparation for impending challenges.
You always think its up to them again to bail you out
The belief that others should constantly rescue or solve problems.
Responsibility is now priority
Recognizing the importance of taking ownership and being accountable.
Well don't forget the fact we eat, sleep, and breathe here...
Highlighting the basic necessities of life and the importance of not overlooking them.
But never fear
Encouraging confidence despite challenges.
For so long we slave under the gun
Reiteration of feeling controlled or oppressed for an extended period.
And this war inside is never won
Emphasizing the enduring nature of internal struggles.
I have always sworn that I won't conform
Reaffirming the commitment to individuality and refusal to conform.
I refuse to suffer anymore
Declaring an end to enduring suffering or pain.
So now you feel the wrath of your own aftermath
Consequences or repercussions of one's own actions or choices.
The constant fear impending danger lurks behind your back
A constant sense of fear due to the lurking danger from past actions or decisions.
It doesn't seem so extreme
Downplaying the severity of a situation when observed from a detached perspective.
When you watch it from your screen
Referencing the detachment from reality when observing problems through a screen, like a TV or computer.
And go on living with a false security
Living with a false sense of safety or security while dreams or aspirations remain unfulfilled.
And broken dreams
Having dreams or aspirations that are shattered or unattainable.
For so long we slave under the gun
Continuation of feeling controlled or oppressed for a prolonged duration.
And this war inside is never won
Reiteration of the ongoing, never-ending nature of internal struggles.
I have always sworn that I won't conform
Reaffirming the commitment to individuality and refusal to conform without enduring further suffering.
And I'm not going to suffer anymore
Decisive refusal to continue enduring pain or hardship.
No I won't fall in line
Rejecting conformity and living by someone else's expectations or rules.
Or live by your design
Choosing to live by one's own principles rather than adhering to external standards.
I'll keep my head up now
Optimism and determination to face challenges head-on.
And I'll be fine
Belief in the ability to overcome difficulties.
For so long we've slaved slaved under the gun
Repeated expression of feeling controlled or oppressed.
And this war inside is never won
Reiteration of the ongoing nature of internal struggles that remain unresolved.
I have always sworn that I won't conform
Restating the commitment to individuality and refusal to conform without enduring further suffering.
I refuse to suffer anymore
Final refusal to continue suffering or enduring pain.
So now you feel the wrath of your own aftermath
Consequences or repercussions of one's own actions or choices.
The constant feeling impending danger lurks behind your back
A perpetual feeling of impending danger due to past actions or decisions.
It doesn't seem so extreme
Downplaying the seriousness of a situation when observed from a detached perspective.
When you watch it from your screen
Referencing the detachment from reality when observing problems through a screen, like a TV or computer.
I won't trade my freedom...
Refusing to exchange personal freedom for anything anymore.
Anymore
Firmly declaring the refusal to trade personal freedom for anything further.
