Navigating Shadows in the Golden Age: Elijah Wellz's Poignant Reflections
Lyrics
Here we are
Expressing the present moment or situation.
In the Golden Age
Referring to a time of prosperity and happiness.
Livin it up and well and hiding
Living well and avoiding problems.
From the problems
Acknowledging problems created by the collective "we."
We create
Highlighting responsibility for the issues.
Now I see
Realizing potential solutions or improvements.
All the things we could fix
Awareness of things that could be fixed.
But we don't know what to do with it
Expressing a lack of knowledge on how to address the issues.
Now we're here in the Golden Age
Being in a time of prosperity (Golden Age).
On the wrong side of history
Recognizing being on the wrong side of historical events.
(Now I see what you meant to me)
Reflecting on understanding from a past perspective.
(But when I'm wrong I will never see)
Acknowledging a potential failure to recognize mistakes.
Ooh
An interjection expressing emotion.
A Golden Age?
Rhetorical question about the existence of a Golden Age.
What a "Golden Age"
Questioning the reality of the so-called "Golden Age."
You see what's going on
Observing societal issues.
Nobody cares about the problems not involving them
Noting the lack of concern for problems not directly affecting individuals.
So many things that I don't want to hear
Expressing disinterest in hearing certain information.
Cause everything they say is so last year
Rejecting outdated or irrelevant information.
It's so last year!
Emphasizing the outdated nature of the information.
Now we're here in the Golden Age
Reiterating the presence in a perceived Golden Age.
On the wrong side of history
Acknowledging being on the wrong side of history.
(Now I see what you meant to me)
Reflecting on past understanding and perspective.
(But when I'm wrong I will never see)
Acknowledging potential blindness to personal faults.
Ooh
An interjection expressing emotion.
A Golden Age?
Rhetorical question about the existence of a Golden Age.
What a "Golden Age"
Questioning the reality of the so-called "Golden Age."
There's no right side of history
Asserting there is no right side of history.
I'm feeling down from the news I read
Feeling negative emotions from reading the news.
They won't see what they don't want to see
Highlighting selective perception of information.
So Enemies is all we'll ever be
Expecting adversarial relationships due to differing views.
It's not a Golden Age
Denying the existence of a Golden Age.
Not a Golden Age
Reiterating the absence of a Golden Age.
There's no right side of history
Asserting there is no right side of history.
I'm feeling down from the news I read
Feeling negative emotions from reading the news.
They won't see what they don't want to see
Highlighting selective perception of information.
So Enemies is all we'll ever be
Expecting adversarial relationships due to differing views.
It's not a Golden Age
Denying the existence of a Golden Age.
Not a Golden Age
Reiterating the absence of a Golden Age.
