Step Aside
Unveiling the Facade: Challenging Authority and Facing Consequences
Lyrics
Who made you the hero, who made you the judge,
Questioning the authority and justification of someone acting as a hero or judge.
Who gave you the right decide
Challenging the right of the person to make decisions for others.
What makes you think that you can't do wrong,
Doubting the claim of infallibility, suggesting everyone is capable of wrongdoing.
Why should the whole world step aside
Criticizing the arrogance of expecting the world to yield to one's opinions and actions.
You can't come and tell me that you're free from sin
Rejecting the notion of someone being free from sin, emphasizing the falseness of such a claim.
'cause' that would be telling a lie
Pointing out the dishonesty of denying personal faults.
It's not without reason that accidents happen
Suggesting that accidents happen for a reason, questioning the lack of self-reflection.
But still you don't ask yourself why
Highlighting the failure to question and understand the cause of one's actions.
It takes a hijacking then you go attacking your enemies without any proof
Criticizing aggressive behavior without evidence or justification.
'cause' you like to think the world spins around you
Pointing out self-centeredness, indicating a distorted view of the world.
But that's just so far from the truth
Contrasting the self-perception with the reality of the situation.
step down from your throne,
Encouraging someone to relinquish their self-imposed authority.
It's time you woke up before it blows up in your face
Warning about potential consequences if the person doesn't change their perspective.
No man is an island,
Emphasizing the interconnectedness of individuals and discouraging violent behavior.
So stop breeding violence it's neither the time or the place
Advising against promoting violence, asserting it's not the appropriate time or place.
Just face up to the fact that you get what you give
Advocating the principle of reciprocity, suggesting consequences for one's actions.
So expect a payback in return
Expecting payback for the harm caused to others.
No one wants to listen to all your complaining
Rejecting the idea that others should bear the burden of someone's complaints.
Your problems are not our concern
Dismissing personal problems as not the concern of others.
Your history haunts you like a knife in the back,
Comparing a troubled past to a betrayal, suggesting lingering consequences.
Your dreams have all crumbled to dust
Highlighting the collapse of dreams and aspirations.
According to you you're a god fearing man
Questioning the reliability of someone claiming to be a god-fearing person.
But who's version of god should I trust
Raising doubt about the authenticity of the person's understanding of God.
Everyone is hurting
Acknowledging universal suffering, rejecting self-centered victimhood.
So don't make it seem as if the only one bleeding is you
Challenging the perception that only the person speaking is experiencing pain.
'cause' you got off easy in comparisation to the pain that you've put others through
Highlighting the comparatively easy situation of the person, despite causing pain to others.
But still you paint up a picture as if you're the victim of some kind of terrible plot
Accusing the person of portraying themselves as a victim of a conspiracy, denying the truth.
But that isn't true because everyone knows
Rejecting the victim narrative, asserting that the person initiated hostilities.
That you fired the first lethal shot
Attributing the initiation of conflict to the person speaking.
And still you have the guts to claim to the world
Denouncing the person's claim of being a peace-loving entity.
That you're a peace loving country and race
Pointing out the lack of compassion, identifying the person as a killer.
But you don't show compassion all I see is a killer,
Observing that the person's true nature is evident in their demeanor.
It's written all over your face
