Gallows
Gallows of Offense: Unveiling the Digital Paradox
Lyrics
How the fuck
Expressing surprise or frustration about the current situation
Did we let it all come to this
Reflecting on how things have deteriorated to the present state
Scrolling through on the haunt
Engaging in a search, possibly online, for reasons to feel offended
For a reason to take offense
Actively looking for a cause to take offense, suggesting a heightened sensitivity
A digital existence
Describing a life primarily lived through digital devices and platforms
Living through a screen
Highlighting the detachment from reality, living through screens instead
Ready to crucify them all
Expressing a readiness to harshly criticize or condemn others
Show the world you matter
Encouraging others to demonstrate their significance to the world
Welcome to the gallows of the offended
Describing a metaphorical place where those easily offended gather
Step inside
Inviting someone to enter this metaphorical space
Where logic comes to die
Suggesting that rational thinking is abandoned in this space
We started out
Reflecting on initial good intentions that have gone astray
With the best intentions
Highlighting the starting point with positive motives
Just trying to connect with those we could not know
Expressing the initial desire to connect with unfamiliar people
Then the whole thing turned to
Describing a transformation from positive intentions to a negative collective outcry
A mass cry for attention
Characterizing the transformation as a widespread demand for attention
A blind horde seeking
Describing a group of people acting without thoughtful consideration
Emoji validation
Describing the sought-after validation in the form of emojis
Welcome to the gallows of the offended
Reiterating the metaphorical space for easily offended individuals
Step inside
Inviting someone else to enter the metaphorical space
Where logic comes to die
Repeating the idea that rationality is absent in this space
When there's no right to offend
Stating that there is no right to offend in this context
It's the beginning of the end
Suggesting that restricting the right to offend marks the beginning of negative consequences
As the worriers of social justice March me to my end
Describing a scenario where advocates for social justice lead to a negative outcome
I'll smile and stick out my middle finger and go out saying fuck you
Expressing defiance and readiness to face the consequences with a rebellious attitude
Welcome to the gallows of the offended
Repeating the metaphorical space for easily offended individuals
Step inside
Inviting someone new to enter the metaphorical space
Where logic comes to die
Reiterating the idea that rationality is absent in this space
Welcome to the gallows of the offended
Repeating the metaphorical space for easily offended individuals
Step inside
Inviting someone new to enter the metaphorical space
Where we come to die
Reiterating that this metaphorical space is where one meets their demise
