Lyrics
speak the truth don't you dare lie to me
Emphasis on speaking the truth and avoiding lies.
I've seen it all before you disagree
Expressing familiarity with similar situations where disagreement occurs.
the way you always attack all the things that you say
Criticism of attacking others despite one's own flaws.
the way your turn your back and then you walk away
Highlighting the act of turning away and walking off.
shut your mouth and open up your eyes
Advising to be silent and observant.
you better take your time and try to realize
Encouraging reflection and realization.
that no one's free from sin and when I look at you
Pointing out the universality of sin and expressing frustration.
I scream within WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU
An internal scream questioning the person's actions.
you raise yourself up to a higher degree and look down in disgust at our misery
Mocking superiority and disdain for others' suffering.
you're no better than your enemy
Stating that the person is no better than their enemy.
but it's easy to hate what you just can't be
Exploring the ease of hating what one can't achieve.
don't deny the fact that you're a mortal man
Acknowledging mortality and inability to escape death.
you can't escape from death when it's close at hand
Accepting the inevitability of death.
don't sit upon a pedestal and raise your voice
Discouraging self-righteousness and elevated voices.
if you're to deaf to listen to the peoples
Encouraging attention to people's choices.

Calling for truth amid strong language.

Insistence on hearing the truth and rejecting deception.
tell me the truth tell me the truth tell me the truth
-the truth you sucker
-you play us out and you take us all for fools
Accusing of manipulation and deception.
but I never understood who even made the rules
Expressing confusion about the origins of societal rules.
I'll make my stand against supermacy
Declaring resistance against supremacy.
'cause hypocritical goverments threaten me
Fearing hypocritical governments as a threat.
I know you ain't blind and I know you're aware
Acknowledging awareness but criticizing indifference.
but your ego's to big for you to even care
Pointing out excessive ego and lack of care.
the doors are wide open but your eyes are closed
Describing open opportunities and closed-mindedness.
you're unable to look any further than your nose
Highlighting narrow perspective and lack of foresight.
you open your mouth and all I hear is lies
Criticizing the person for spreading lies.
you keep spreading your message that I despite
Expressing strong dislike for the person's message.
because the game you're playing is so easy to see
Calling out the predictability of the person's actions.
it's just another repeat of our history
Linking current actions to a repetition of history.
you talk about peace it's a very strong word
Discussing the weight and rarity of the concept of peace.
it's always being said but it's never been heard
Highlighting the discrepancy between words and actions.
hi-tec weapons are here to reasure it
Mentioning advanced weapons without tangible results for peace.
but I've never seen a time when they've done a shit for it
Expressing skepticism about the effectiveness of technology.

kick it to me now 'cause I just can't figure
Encouraging truthfulness and criticizing the amplification of mistakes.

-equality's a word have you ever even heard it
Questioning familiarity with the concept of equality.
I guess not and you don't deserve it

turning your backs on the problems that surface
Accusing of intentionally ignoring problems.
I get a feeling that you're doing it on purpose
Suspecting deliberate avoidance of responsibility.

Asserting the inability to control one's own life.
