A Dying Breed
A Dying Breed: Resilience in the Face of a Collapsing World
Lyrics
This is the final score, I'm sick of waiting
This marks the end, and I'm tired of waiting.
Will you get me up and running?
Can you revive and energize me?
Fill me up until I drown, you get me on the ground
Fill me to the point of drowning; bring me down to the ground.
God damn, bring it back!
Expressing frustration, demanding a return.
Well, is it all you got?
Is that the best you can do?
The time has just arrived, we are done
The moment has come; it's over.
You got this right?
Confirming readiness or capability.
And through the night / you'll be thinking to the light i'll be regretting this one fight / but I don't care, no I don't care
Reflecting on a past conflict; indifferent to its consequences.
I lived it all and like I dream, who gives a fuck about what it means ‘cause when it's gone
Disregarding the significance of experiences, indifferent to meaning.
This whole world is coming down
The entire world is collapsing.
No one you ever loved will give it up to make it better
No one you loved will sacrifice to improve the situation.
No one that ever cared will take your hand and raise the other
No caring person will support you; you're on your own.
There is more to what they need, we are a dying breed
We, as a unique group, have more to offer than what is demanded.
Put them up, get them higher, clench your fists and meet your maker
Encouraging defiance; confront challenges and face your creator.
There’s no before, no chance there’s something after
No past, no future; nothing beyond the present moment.
Put them up, get them higher, fuck him up, you make him suffer
Encouraging aggression; cause suffering to others.
There’s nothing else to fight for, now get them tiger
There's nothing left to fight for; seize the opportunity.
Nothing else to scream for, nothing else to live for, because
No purpose to scream or live for; everything is falling apart.
This whole world is coming down
The entire world is collapsing (repeated).
I used to wish that I could stay right here and keep on living
Formerly desired stability is now abandoned due to a new perspective.
Then I came upon a different sky, I saw it coming
Discovering an impending change, anticipating a shift.
I’ve seen a thousand try, I’ve seen a million plead
Witnessing many attempts, few succeed; emphasizing rarity.
But just a few succeed, we are a dying breed
Emphasizing the uniqueness and scarcity of the group.
You’re getting all you need
Receiving all that is required.
