Limiter
Breaking Free: Society's Limits and the Battle for Youth
Lyrics
They gave you a limiter
They imposed restrictions or limitations upon you.
Are you limited for life?
Are those limitations going to last your entire life?
I'm so sorry, son
An expression of sympathy or regret, possibly from a parental figure.
Society don't want to see you
Society is not supportive or encouraging of your ambitions or potential.
Go for all
Society doesn't want you to aim for everything or pursue all possibilities.
Back then, everybody knew a spaz or two
In the past, people were aware of individuals considered socially awkward or clumsy.
We never thought those kids were bad, did you?
Despite being seen as socially awkward, these individuals were not perceived as inherently bad.
These days, everybody's found another way
In contemporary times, people have found alternative ways to deal with challenges.
Just give 'em a pill and send 'em on their way
A critique of the modern approach of prescribing pills to address issues.
But whatever happened to drug-free youth?
Questioning the disappearance of a drug-free youth culture.
What's to become of our sons, what can we do?
Concern for the future of the younger generation, particularly sons.
Cause they gave you a limiter
Reiteration of the imposition of limitations.
Are you limited for life?
Questioning whether these limitations will be lifelong.
I'm so sorry, son
A repeated expression of sympathy or regret, directed towards a son.
Society don't want to see you
Highlighting society's lack of support for personal growth and ambition.
Go for all
Reiteration of society's reluctance to let individuals pursue all possibilities.
Limiter, limiter
Repetition of the term "limiter" as a symbolic representation of imposed restrictions.
Are you limited for life?
Questioning the permanence of the limitations.
Society don't want to see
Society is unwilling to witness or support certain aspirations.
They drug you for this, and then they drug you for that
Criticism of the overuse of drugs for various purposes, leading to confusion.
'Til you don't even know where your head is at
Extended drug use resulting in a loss of mental clarity.
School's the pusher, we don't even have a choice
Schools are portrayed as influencing or pressuring individuals without providing a real choice.
So what is the future of the limited boys?
Raising concerns about the future of individuals subjected to imposed limitations.
Shame on all of us if they're hooked for good
A collective sense of guilt if the younger generation is permanently affected by drug use.
I'd fix you by myself, if I only could
A desire to help, expressed with a sense of helplessness.
They gave you a limiter
Reiteration of the imposition of limitations.
Are you limited for life?
Questioning whether these limitations will be lifelong.
I'm so sorry, son
A repeated expression of sympathy or regret, directed towards a son.
Society don't want to see you
Highlighting society's lack of support for personal growth and ambition.
Go for all
Reiteration of society's reluctance to let individuals pursue all possibilities.
I'm so sorry, son
Repeated expression of sympathy or regret towards a son.
I'm so sorry, son
-Society don't want to see
Emphasizing society's lack of support for personal growth and ambition.
