Lyrics

We are all criminals

We all possess elements of wrongdoing or guilt.

Brokens and cynicals

People who are fractured or disillusioned, possibly with a negative outlook.

Run with me criminals

Join me, individuals who engage in illegal activities.

Criminals

Reinforces the idea of being criminals.

Unsightly visuals

Disturbing or unpleasant images.

Righteous, so criminal

Despite being morally justified, behaving in a criminal manner.

Such dirty animals

Describes as filthy or impure creatures.

I can't breathe

Feeling constricted or suffocated.

I can't be

Unable to exist authentically or genuinely.

I can't reach

Unable to achieve or grasp.

I can't reach your throne

Unable to reach a position of power or authority.

We hide in plain sight right beside like ghosts in daylight, we can try

We conceal ourselves openly, much like unnoticed spirits in daylight, attempting but unlikely to change.

But we won't, we're just criminals

Resolute in our criminal behaviors, uninterested in reform.

Destroy your birthright, we deny but somehow we're right, we won't lie

Refusal to acknowledge inherent privileges or entitlements, yet justifying actions morally.

It's just right, we're just criminals

Justifies criminal behavior as the correct or appropriate course of action.

Criminals

Reiterating the identity as criminals.

We analogicals

Individuals likened to analogies, possibly suggesting a rationalization of actions through comparisons.

Crooked deni

Distorted or twisted denials.

ables

Associating with those who reject truths or realities.

Lie with me criminals

Invitation to share in criminal acts.

Criminals

Re-emphasizing the identity as criminals.

We're slightly tangible

Marginally or slightly touchable, suggesting a wavering or unstable presence.

Baseless so criminal

Having no substantial basis for actions that are perceived as criminal.

Such dirty animals

Describing as impure or filthy creatures again.

I can't breathe

Feeling constricted or suffocated (repeated line).

I can't be

Unable to exist authentically or genuinely (repeated line).

I can't reach

Unable to achieve or grasp (repeated line).

I can't reach your throne

Unable to reach a position of power or authority (repeated line).

We hide in plain sight right beside like ghosts in daylight, we can try

Reiterating the attempt to hide in plain sight, akin to unnoticed spirits during the day, with futile efforts to change.

But we won't, we're just criminals

Firm in the decision to remain as criminals, showing no interest in transformation.

Destroy your birthright, we deny but somehow we're right, we won't lie

Refusing to acknowledge inherent privileges or entitlements, yet justifying actions morally (repeated line).

It's just right we're just criminals

Reaffirmation that justifies criminal behavior as morally acceptable or correct.
