A Choice Made For You
Embracing Life Beyond Divine Strings
Lyrics
Was taught to me as a child only the Lord could guide me through
Received guidance as a child that only the Lord could provide.
And to my lord, to my lord, to my lord I was true
Remained faithful and true to the Lord.
As I grew I saw the world my mind less fed by prose
Experienced the world with a mind less influenced by literature.
I turned my back to that God, that was what I chose
Chose to turn away from God.
I met my love beside the tracks that carried her to me
Met a love near train tracks, realizing a deep connection.
From then I knew my fragile heart would never now be free
Felt that the newfound love bound the heart, limiting freedom.
I swore an oath before the courts that my love would never sway
Swore an oath to remain loyal to love, regardless of external influences.
Without command or fear of fire, my oaths still held today
Despite challenges, the oath to love remains unbroken.
How consensus rules us
Reflects on how societal consensus governs us.
So well hidden from us the choices that elude us
Observes that certain choices are well-concealed from individuals.
A thought that's been made for ya
Suggests a decision imposed upon individuals, not of their own making.
Ooh don't make the soul much stronger
Expresses skepticism about the strengthening effect of externally imposed choices on the soul.
A life well lived without your Sins to hang me by my neck
Values a life well-lived, free from judgment for past mistakes.
The sad eyes of a priest bids farewell, prayers hope to feed regret
Describes the sorrowful gaze of a priest bidding farewell, hoping for redemption through prayers.
And as I walked through the gates my prayer-less life reviewed
Reflects on life as gates are traversed, contemplating a prayer-less existence.
Without your Gods to crush my heart seems I am worth as you
Without the gods' influence, questions personal worth.
How consensus rules us
Reiterates the impact of societal consensus on individuals.
So well hidden from us the choices that we're losing
Highlights the obscured nature of certain choices, leading to losses.
And a choice that's been made for ya
Emphasizes a choice made for the individual, possibly against their will.
It don't make the soul much stronger
Suggests that the imposed choice doesn't necessarily make the soul stronger.
