Apocalypse Now and Then
Navigating Chaos: Every Time I Die's Reflection on Life's Unpredictability
Lyrics
You got me right where you wanted me
You have manipulated me into the desired position.
So what do we do if I can't hold this pose for too long?
What should we do if I can't sustain this situation for long?
Do we shoot again, or does the whole operation shut down and we go back to the board?
Should we continue or abort the entire plan and start over?
I practiced all my lines, oh yea I'd feed every child in the world
I rehearsed my lines; I would do anything, even altruistic acts.
But it's a one night stand baby
Despite the initial appearance, this is a brief, casual encounter.
We gotta keep on
We must persist and continue.
If you got it all then you got it right
If you have everything, you have the authority.
I'm gonna do what you say and get way out of line
I will follow your instructions, even if it means crossing boundaries.
Nobody's gonna stop me now
No one will hinder my progress now.
It's not how it looks unless you saw nothing
Appearances can be deceiving; the reality may differ.
We all agree this proposal's been sentenced to death
We all acknowledge the failure of this proposal.
Are we baiting the right hook to catch your attention?
Are we using the right tactics to capture your attention?
The media needs another blackout
The media requires another blackout, a news suppression.
We've been calling
We have been trying to communicate.
Flooding hotlines
Flooding communication channels with urgent messages.
We've applied mascara to the radio but that's just a quick fix and we need a little more
Applying superficial solutions to the problem, seeking a more substantial resolution.
Does it matter to you at all?
Is it important to you?
Are you listening or have you tuned out?
Are you paying attention, or have you become indifferent?
We've gotta get it together
We need to organize and address the issues collectively.
But first we drink and we take it all apart
Before taking action, we indulge in revelry and disassemble things.
Everywhere we go we're the local boys and we're back in town
Wherever we go, we are seen as locals returning home.
Well that's the way it is
This is the reality, and it saddens me.
It breaks my heart
The situation is disheartening.
We've applied mascara to the radio, but that's just a quick fix and we need a little more
Reiterating the need for more than just a temporary fix.
Does it matter to you at all?
Is it significant to you?
Are you listening or have you tuned out?
Are you actively listening, or have you become apathetic?
Get by
Endure the challenges.
Get gone
Leave and move on.
Get high
Seek an elevated state.
Get wronged
Experience injustice or mistreatment.
