The Prison
Breaking Chains: Unveiling the Cultural Prison in Children of Gaia's Anthem
Lyrics
We've been brought up in an omnipresent prison
We have been raised in a pervasive confinement.
Day after day it grows, it lures us, it seduces, it comforts us
Every day, this confinement grows, entices, seduces, and provides comfort, yet we continue without clear awareness.
Nevertheless, we keep on going blindly
Despite this, we persist in moving forward without full understanding.
This prison called culture
The term "culture" is reiterated, emphasizing its imprisoning nature.
This prison called culture
-This prison called culture
-This prison called culture
-Is the burden of our so-called modern civilization
This cultural prison is the burden of our modern civilization.
The same one who taught us what's right or wrong
It is the same culture that instructed us on morality.
The same one who presented us its myths and rites
This culture presented us with its myths and rituals.
The very same who brings us lethargy until we awake
It induces lethargy until we awaken to its damaging aspects.
The culture of maximum damage that purged the unfaithful
Describes the culture as one of maximum damage, purging those deemed worthless and obtuse.
The worthless and obtuse ones
-The worthless and obtuse ones
-That annihilated tribes and races that were "terribly subalterns"
The same culture annihilated tribes and races considered "terribly subalterns."
The one that deprived us of happenings and facts
It deprived us of significant events and facts.
Genocides that were intelligently hidden by the official history
Refers to intelligently concealed genocides in official history.
It's hard to get free from its bars, its entanglements
Escaping the bars and entanglements of this culture is challenging.
When it whispers its truths since birth
The culture subtly influences us with its truths from birth.
There's not only one way of thinking
Emphasizes diversity in thinking, acting, and living, suggesting there is not just one perspective or way of life.
There's not only one way of acting
-There's not only one way of living
