Lyrics
We're right back where we started, back to what we’ve suffered through
We have returned to our initial state, revisiting the hardships we endured.
Right when we thought we’ve moved on, we’ve reverted to the sins of our fathers
Despite thinking we moved forward, we find ourselves repeating the mistakes of our forefathers.
And I'm not sure that we will make it through this time
There's uncertainty about whether we can overcome the current challenges.
We will be damned if this is our future
We are determined not to let this become our destiny.
I’ll be damned if this is my legacy
The speaker is resolute in ensuring that the current situation does not define their legacy.
No, we won’t stand for this
A refusal to accept the current circumstances.
Ignorance has reared its head again
Ignorance has resurfaced, and the speaker wishes for it to be eradicated.
May it be severed, let it meet its end
A desire for the end of ignorance through separation.
I have never felt so defeated
The speaker feels a profound sense of defeat.
Now we’re left to pick up the pieces
After the challenges, there is a need to pick up and rebuild.
Cast aside by your greedy hands, with a blind eye turned to the least of them
The speaker feels neglected by those driven by greed, who ignore the less fortunate.
I won’t stay silent, I won’t go quietly
A declaration to speak out and resist passivity.
We can’t keep making the same mistakes
A realization that repeating previous mistakes is unsustainable.
I will never follow you, your lies will be your end
A refusal to follow someone with deceitful intentions, predicting their downfall.
You can have your moral convictions, but I will not look the other way
A rejection of moral convictions that involve turning a blind eye to injustice.
Can you hear the echoes of our voices?
A question about whether the oppressors can hear the protests and discontent of those they despise.
The choir of the ones you hate
Describing the collective voices of the oppressed as a choir.
No compassion for the weak, no inclusion if we’re not elite
Highlighting a lack of empathy for the weak and exclusion unless one is considered elite.
I refuse to belong to a world like this
A refusal to be part of a world characterized by these negative traits.
This is not who I am, this is not for us
Emphasizing that the current state does not align with the speaker's identity or values.
Our sons and daughters will be better than this
An optimistic belief that future generations will surpass the current state of affairs.
They will be better than us
