Thoughts and Prayers
Challenging Existence: Thoughts, Prayers, and the Absence of Answers
Lyrics
There is no god so we make the rules now
Rejecting the existence of a god and asserting human authority in setting rules.
Oh
Expression, possibly indicating emphasis or emotion.
Thoughts and prayers don't stop bullets
Highlighting the ineffectiveness of thoughts and prayers in preventing harm.
So grow the fuck up and admit, you're full of shit
Critiquing individuals who refuse to acknowledge their shortcomings and mistakes.
Here we are, trying to discover
Desire for progress or understanding while facing resistance.
And you're just holding us back
Accusing someone of hindering progress or growth.
Was I made to feel broken
Questioning one's worth or purpose, possibly due to feeling broken.
Am I made to feel dead
Expressing emotional numbness or detachment.
Is it best just to end it all
Contemplating self-harm or suicide as a way out.
Or should I stay until the end
Deliberating whether to endure challenges or end one's life.
Ahh come on
Encouragement or urging for a response.
Just give me one good reason
Requesting a compelling reason to trust or believe someone.
To believe a single word you say
Skepticism about the truthfulness of what is being said.
When we both know it's just a fantasy
Acknowledging a shared understanding that certain beliefs are fantasy.
How dare you call yourself a voice of a generation
Challenging someone who claims to represent a generation's voice.
I refused to take part in this ignorance congregation
Refusing to participate in a gathering of ignorance or misled beliefs.
Was I made to feel broken
Reiteration of feeling broken or incomplete.
Am I made to feel dead
Continued expression of emotional numbness or detachment.
Is it best just to end it all
Considering the option of ending one's life.
Or should I stay until the end
Contemplating whether to endure challenges until the end.
So save your self righteous shit, I've heard plenty
Rejecting insincere expressions of moral superiority.
My name is Legion, for we are many
Identity reference, possibly indicating a collective or shared experience.
Yeah
Confirmation of the collective identity, emphasizing plurality.
We are many Bleh
Reiteration of the collective identity and its strength.
Was I made to feel broken
Repeating the questioning of one's worth or purpose.
Am I made to feel dead
Reiterating emotional numbness or detachment.
To feel dead
Emphasizing the feeling of being dead or lifeless.
To feel
Continued emphasis on a sense of numbness or lack of feeling.
When will you get it through your head
Expressing frustration with a failure to understand a fundamental truth.
There is no forever and dead is dead
Rejecting the concept of eternal life and asserting the finality of death.
When will you get it through your head
Reiterating the rejection of eternal life and emphasizing the finality of death.
There is no forever and dead is dead
Final emphasis on the rejection of the idea of forever and the certainty of death.
