Lyrics
It all makes so much sense now
Realization dawns, understanding becomes clear
How could I have been so wrong
Acknowledging a previous misconception or mistake
If you want to survive you have to die a thousand times first
Survival requires enduring numerous challenges and hardships
Your past becomes history
One's past transforms into a part of history
The future is now
The present moment holds great significance
Growing pains, mature toward suffering
Maturity involves facing and enduring suffering
There is no good or bad anymore, only sensations
Moral distinctions are blurred, only sensations matter
Feel the blood rushing through your brain
Intense awareness of the flow of blood in the brain
Every nerve screams in protest of existing
Every nerve protests against the experience of existence
You can no longer fear pain
Fear of pain is no longer present
Stop the attachments to that which will take you nowhere
Let go of attachments that lead nowhere
You have to kill if you want to stay alive
To survive, one must be willing to eliminate threats
And that's what this is about
The essence of the message is revealed
Survival
Survival is the core theme
Don't lose sight of that fact
Emphasizing the importance of not losing focus on survival
The sear becomes new again
Rejuvenation through enduring hardship
Rid yourself of the filth of comfort
Rejecting the comfort of familiarity
Within in the strife you will find the creature
In challenges, one discovers their true self
You were truly meant to become
Becoming the person one is destined to be
You are not that which surrounds you
Identity is not defined by external surroundings
You are not who you've been shaped to be
Rejecting societal shaping of identity
You are the fire burning in your chest
The inner passion and drive within oneself
Either burn out or die forgotten
Choose to burn brightly or face obscurity
And you have to be remembered
Desire for a lasting legacy and remembrance
Even if it tears you apart
Even if it causes personal distress, seek to be remembered
Don't be like the others
Avoid conformity, be distinct from others
Don't die before the grave
Face challenges before succumbing to death
THE FUTURE IS NOW
Reiteration of the importance of the present moment
THE FUTURE IS NOW
Emphasis on the immediacy of the future
