Is This the Best We Got
Unveiling the Modern Paradox: Is This Our Pinnacle?
Lyrics
Hey do you know about the essentials
Questioning awareness of essential matters.
Painted lips representing genitals
Referencing superficiality and the use of symbols.
These days prayers are all the same
Observing uniformity in contemporary prayers.
She fades him out and dreams of fame
Describing a person disconnecting and aspiring for fame.
What have we created
Reflecting on the consequences of human creation.
She offers jelly rolls but he's wasted
Offering something valuable to someone who doesn't appreciate it.
Its closing time on growin' up
Commenting on the challenges of growing up.
We fear ourselves where once we used to love
Expressing a shift from love to self-fear.
Is this the best we got
Pondering if the current state is the best achievable.
They want you to believe in what is being said
Highlighting the call to believe in communicated messages.
They bomb at night 'til all the dreams are dead
Describing destructive actions at night.
Scream in the dark like a Detroit train
Depicting loud expressions of distress.
No one goes outside anymore to taste the rain
Noting a reluctance to experience simple pleasures.
The doomsday words from a soldier's soul
Referring to ominous words from a soldier's perspective.
She shames her kind for a quarter-roll
Illustrating shame for personal gain.
Selfish people representing fucked up love
Pointing out selfishness in dysfunctional love.
The loudest voices representing what we are not
Questioning the authenticity of influential voices.
Is this the best we got
Reiterating the inquiry if this is the best available situation.
Looking down on Earth hear Marlene's old song
Referencing a nostalgic song and observing changes on Earth.
New meaning now where have all the flowers gone
Questioning the disappearance of positive elements.
Half will give and half will take
Highlighting the balance of giving and taking.
In expectation of love we all must stand and wait
Expressing the need to wait for love with expectations.
She touched man and he grew tall
Describing a transformative touch that elevates someone.
He touched her and she grew warm
Reciprocal impact of physical touch leading to warmth.
Is this the best we got
Reiterating the question on the adequacy of the current state.
