Lyrics
Plagued by answers without questions
Feeling overwhelmed by answers that lack corresponding questions
Burdened under this forced collection
Weighed down by a compelled accumulation or assembly
This albatross around our necks
A metaphorical burden, likened to an albatross, impacting our lives
Pokes holes into the canon text
Undermining established norms or principles
This is what spawns partisans
The cause of partisan divisions and conflicts
Taking control into our hands
Taking matters into our own hands, asserting control
Truth disguised as jagged breath
Truth presented deceptively or harshly
Against those getting rich off death
Opposing those who profit from death and suffering
Nos voro venenum
A Latin phrase suggesting resistance to poison
Watch out pedestrians
A warning to pedestrians to be cautious
Fall out of the trap
Escaping from a trap or oppressive situation
Sometimes the preys gonna fight back
Even those who are preyed upon may fight back
Cross my heart and hope to die
A solemn promise with a risk of death
In my attempts to beautify
Attempts to make the world more beautiful
The world that burns beneath our feet
The world in turmoil beneath our feet
The fertile fields of grey concrete
Fertile fields transformed into grey concrete
Lifting off this heavy yoke
Removing a burdensome yoke of unspoken truth
Of truth that still has not been spoke
The truth that remains unspoken
I wish id never seen the things
Regret about witnessing disturbing things
That still placate me in my dreams
Unpleasant memories persisting in dreams
Bleach it til its black
Cleansing something until it turns black
Gregor on his back
Reference to Gregor from Kafka's Metamorphosis
Midas in reverse
A reversal of the Midas touch, turning wealth into poverty
Someones been going through your purse
Someone violating privacy and personal space
Set adrift with the abandoned ships
Abandoned and adrift with discarded entities
That choke the municipal bay
The bay filled with abandoned ships causing obstruction
The glowing archipelago
An illuminated group of islands made from hazardous waste
Thats made from our hazardous waste
The islands created from our own dangerous actions
Weve dropped the hammer on our foes
Taking decisive action against enemies
Weve shot off almost every toe
Inflicting harm upon adversaries
Were drowning in our spoonfed lies
Drowning in lies that are fed to us
We need so we can sleep at night
The need for material wealth for peaceful sleep
Let me hold your prosthetic hand
A metaphorical offer of support and connection
Well protect and take your land
Claiming ownership and control, often through force
Youll get our brand of autonomy
Granting a specific kind of independence, influenced by industry
Thats dictated by industry
Autonomy shaped and dictated by industrial interests
Nothing left to fear
A sense of no remaining fears
Your prince is finally here
A figure of authority or power arriving
Now meet your sister wives
Introduction to multiple partners in a controlling relationship
And get in line your life is mine
A demand for submission and conformity
Til the end of time
Ownership and control asserted until the end of time
Whats yours is mine
An assertion of possession and control over what belongs to others
