Make It
Echoes of Deception: Dead Larry's Reflection on Lost Hope and Broken Promises
Lyrics
The pressure's pushing down on me, and I don't think I can take it
The speaker feels overwhelmed by pressure and doubts their ability to endure it.
It's something you love so much, that you just might break it
Expressing the delicate nature of something cherished, suggesting it may break due to intense love.
See they've got that something special, you just can't fake it
Referring to a special quality that cannot be fabricated or imitated.
What has been and what will never be, I don't think I will make it.
A sense of hopelessness, contemplating the past and future with a pessimistic outlook.
But I bet we all will say
A collective sentiment that people will reminisce about these times in the future.
These were the best days of our lives
Fondly remembering a period considered the best days of their lives.
When we all thought the Human race could survive
Reflecting on a time when humanity believed it could overcome challenges.
cnd there was hope for a better way to be
Expressing hope for a better way of life.

Possibly a name reference, unclear without additional context.
Now all I wish is that I could say that we tried
Expressing regret that efforts were not made to address issues.
We didn't try, we lied
An admission that instead of trying, there were lies.
cnd fight for our equality, but we make our own bed
Advocating for equality, acknowledging the consequences of one's actions.
cnd I wonder “will it ever be, or just left for dead?”
Questioning if positive change is possible or if a situation is beyond repair.
I don't believe in your fantasy, this “he said” “she said”
Rejecting belief in unfounded stories or rumors.
To me it is plain to see that more than tears will be shed
Foreseeing significant consequences, more than just tears, as a result of current actions.
But I bet we all will say
Reiteration of the expectation that people will nostalgically recall these times.
These were the best days of our lives
Revisiting the idea that a past era was the best period of their lives.
When we all thought the Human race could survive
A hopeful time when humanity believed it could endure and prosper.
cnd there was hope for a better way to be
Expressing hope for a better way of life.

Possibly a name reference, unclear without additional context.
Now all I wish is that I could say that we tried
Expressing a desire that efforts were made to address challenges.
We didn't try, we lied
An admission that efforts were not made and falsehoods were propagated.
we lied, we lied, no we never told the truth
An acknowledgment of widespread dishonesty and lack of truthfulness.
we lied, we lied, and left it up to you
Attributing responsibility to others for the consequences of lies.
we lied, we lied, ‘cause it's all we ever knew
Suggesting a pattern of dishonesty as a result of familiarity.
we lied, and I cry, for you.
An expression of sorrow for the consequences of lies.
