Reactor's Resilience: Battling the Shadows of the Mind
Lyrics
In the cold dead air on a Saturday night
In a desolate atmosphere on a Saturday night
There's a moonlit sky, but it don't feel right
Despite the moonlit sky, there's an unsettling feeling
The warnin' signs that have spark inside
Warning signs indicate a spark within
And you can't let it go
An unresolved issue that lingers
When a flash we see with a primitive eye
A sudden realization with a primitive understanding
That the elephant pace in the room has died
The unspoken problem in the room is ignored
Whispered thoughts to the wasted worlds
Thoughts shared with a disillusioned world
And everybody knows
A collective awareness exists
You were caught in the middle of a knife fight long ago
A reference to a past conflict, scars evident
Counting scars from the battle in your mind, you're not alone
Bearing the psychological battle wounds, finding solidarity
No, you can't push us back without a fight no more
Resisting without yielding to opposition
No, you can't keep us running away, keep us running
Refusing to be chased away, maintaining resilience
No, you can't see the thunder in a lightning storm
The hidden power in a crisis is not apparent
No, you can't see what's coming your way, see what's coming
Unaware of impending challenges
Reactor set to overload
A metaphorical reactor on the verge of collapse
And the dam of the river's ready to explode
The situation is about to reach a breaking point
In the smoke-filled dim of a Saturday night
In a hazy environment on a Saturday night
There's a moonlit sky, but it don't feel right
Similar unsettling feeling persists
Now you walk the streets as a raging fire burns out of control
A person becomes a raging fire, losing control
As the sirens blare over people, they're scared
Sirens wail, creating fear among people
And invisible threads hanging in the air
Invisible tension hanging in the air
Now you watch your step where there ain't just breath
Vigilance required in uncertain situations
It's nightmare's drinking hole
A place where nightmares come to life
You were caught in the middle of a knife fight long ago
Recollection of past confrontations
Every day's new reality's a minefield for the soul
Every day presents a new mental battlefield
So immune to the damage, every night you take it home
Becoming accustomed to emotional damage each night
Counting scars from the battle in your mind, you're not alone
Continuing to bear scars from the ongoing mental struggle
No, you can't push us back without a fight no more
Resistance without giving in
No, you can't keep us running away, keep us running
Refusing to be chased away, enduring
No, you can't see the thunder in a lightning storm
Unable to foresee the intensity of a crisis
No, you can't see what's coming your way, see what's coming
Unaware of approaching challenges
Reactor set to overload
Reaching a critical point of collapse
And the dam of the river's gonna blow
The impending breakdown of a critical situation
'Cause I can't breathe
Expressing difficulty in a suffocating environment
I can't breathe
Reiterating the struggle to breathe
In an atmosphere catalyzed by fear
An atmosphere dominated by fear
Our sons and daughters scream
A cry from the younger generation
I can't breathe
Reiterating the struggle to breathe
I can't breathe
Reiterating the urgency while facing threats
And we can't stand still while they aim to kill
Being proactive against threats to dreams
Our sons and daughters dreams
Protecting the aspirations of the younger generation
No, you can't push us back without a fight no more
Resistance without yielding to opposition
No, you can't keep us running away, keep us running
Refusing to be chased away, maintaining endurance
No, you can't see the thunder in a lightning storm
Unable to perceive the intensity of a crisis
No, you can't see what's coming your way, see what's coming
Unaware of impending challenges
Reactor set to overload
Reaching a critical point of collapse
And the dam of the river's ready to explode
The imminent breakdown of a critical situation
Reactor set to overthrow
The reactor is ready to overthrow
'Cause the dam of the river's ready to explode
The impending collapse is inevitable
