Natural Selection
Embracing Natural Selection: A Cynical Anthem of Resilience
Lyrics
I know regret like a
I have experienced regret deeply
Friend I held to die
Regret is a companion I clung to until death
I guess I'm cynical
I am inclined to be distrustful or pessimistic
And now the wolves are in the
Metaphorically, danger or challenges are present
Throne room standing by
Wolves, symbolic of threats or adversaries, are in a position of power
To burn the citadel
The stronghold is about to be destroyed
You were young
Referring to someone's past when they were young
You never had a chance to
They never had an opportunity to confront challenges
Face the sun
A metaphor for facing difficulties or harsh realities
I hate whatever
Expressing strong dislike for the person's current state
You've become
Reflecting on the negative transformation of the person
But you should know I'll never
Assurance that the speaker won't abandon the person
Leave here without you
Commitment to staying with the person despite challenges
We are animals
Humans are subject to change as part of their nature
Slaves to change through
Reference to the inevitability of change
Natural perfection
Acknowledging the natural state of perfection in the world
Natural selection
Emphasizing the role of natural processes in determining outcomes
And now the light cuts out
A shift into darkness or difficulty
Cause we're going down
Anticipation of a downfall or failure
It's unforgivable
Actions or circumstances that are not forgivable
When the storm wakes up we better
When challenges arise, adapting is crucial
Learn to drown
Learning to cope with difficulties and adversity
Become invisible
Becoming unnoticed or ignored in the face of challenges
I was young
Referring to the speaker's past when they were young
I never really learned to
They never acquired the skill of holding back their words
Bite my tongue
A metaphor for not controlling one's speech
And now the smoke will
Smoke, possibly symbolizing consequences, filling the air
Fill my lungs
Consequences affecting the speaker's well-being
You know I'll never
Assurance that the speaker won't abandon the person
Leave here without you
Commitment to staying with the person despite challenges
We are animals
Humans are characterized as instinctual beings
We can't help holding on
Despite challenges, humans are inclined to cling to life
To life
Reiteration of the instinctual desire to hold on to life
To life
An acknowledgment of the inevitability of parting or death
So say goodbye
An explicit expression of bidding farewell
