The End of Progression
Breaking the Chains: The End of Conformity
Lyrics
So they're saying
There's a statement being made
That the end is coming
There's a belief that things are reaching their conclusion
I'm saying that
The speaker disagrees with this notion
They don't know nothing
The speaker believes that the others lack understanding or knowledge
It's been right here
The truth or solution has been present all along
(It's been right here)
(Reiteration) Emphasizing the presence of truth
The whole time
(Reiteration) Emphasizing the constant presence of truth
(The whole time)
(Reiteration) Continual existence of truth
Disguised as a straight line
Truth has been obscured or camouflaged
(Ah, ah)
If the right path or identity was known from the start, time would be unnecessary
If we already knew who to be
-(Ah, ah)
-Time is something
-That we wouldn't need
-One by one
Individuals progressively lose themselves by following a misguided path, settling for safety, and thus hindering progress
You will lose yourself
-As you keep on following
-Following footsteps
-That lead the wrong direction
-One by one
-You are fading out
-As you're slowly settling
-Settling for the same
-You play it safe
-You end progression
-Retreating to the same old places
(Reiteration) If one knew their true self, time wouldn't be a factor
Breeding all the same old faces
-Youth is wasted on the young
-Life is wasted on the living ones
-(Ah, ah)
-If we already knew who to be
-(Ah, ah)
-Time is something
-That we wouldn't need
-One by one
Continued emphasis on losing oneself by following the wrong path and settling for safety, ultimately halting progress
You will lose yourself
-As you keep on following
-Following footsteps
-That lead the wrong direction
-One by one
-You are fading out
-As you're slowly settling
-Settling for the same
-You play it safe
-You end progression
-I've been cheated
Personal experiences of being deceived and broken have contributed to personal growth, contrasting with an inability or unwillingness of others to acknowledge similar growth
I've been broken
-And it made me a better man
-Something you will never say
-And you will end
Others will not admit to personal growth, staying stagnant and fading away without change
Before beginning
-The same as you ever were
-Quietly you'll slip away
-One by one
Continued emphasis on losing oneself by following the wrong path, settling for safety, and thereby halting progress
You will lose yourself
-As you keep on following
-Following footsteps
-That lead the wrong direction
-One by one
-You are fading out
-As you're slowly settling
-Settling for the same
-You play it safe
-You end progression
-You play it safe
Final repetition emphasizing the act of choosing safety over progress
You end progression
