This is Not the End
Unveiling the Illusion: Calliope Musicals' Revelatory Anthem
Lyrics
Oh I think there's something wrong here--
Expressing a sense that something is amiss or not right.
Your money is making you think you're free.
Highlighting the idea that wealth can create an illusion of freedom.
But I can see right through it,
Asserting the ability to see through the facade created by money.
and I think you're just as scared as me
Suggesting that despite appearances, there is fear and vulnerability.
Blood is all over the streets, and
Metaphorically describing a situation of violence and chaos.
Lining pockets of the powerful men
Pointing out the influence of wealth on those in power.
And we think that we are safe cause
Challenging the false sense of security despite societal issues.
The sun keeps coming back up again.
Reflecting on the cyclical nature of life, despite challenges.
I'm not ok with this life that we made,
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current way of life.
But I'm afraid that it might be too late.
Conveying fear that change might be difficult or too late.
This is not the end.
Emphasizing that the current situation is not the ultimate conclusion.
There's a reason for the lying,
Acknowledging that lying serves a purpose and is comforting.
There's a reason that it's soothing to our ears.
Highlighting the soothing nature of deception to human ears.
It's the bottle we were nursed on,
Metaphorically connecting lies to a nurturing element from the past.
It tastes just like the truth after all these years.
Suggesting that lies can taste like truth after a long time.
I'm not ok with this life that we made,
Reiterating dissatisfaction with the current life choices.
But I'm afraid that it might be too late.
Expressing fear that it might be too late to make necessary changes.
This is not the end.
Affirming that the current state is not the final outcome.
