Hooked
Breaking Chains of Apathy: Fit for a King's Powerful Reflection
Lyrics
Hooked to the things that make us fall, and the words that burn like gasoline
Being captivated by destructive influences and words that ignite intense emotions.
We can't erase these endless thoughts,
Unable to eliminate persistent and overwhelming thoughts.
Can't kill what fuels our apathy
Unable to extinguish the source of our indifference and lack of concern.
We want satisfaction, we want our peace
Desire for contentment and tranquility.
Apathy, your satisfaction
Indifference and satisfaction are intertwined.
I feel so little change, it always stays the same
Perceiving minimal change, a sense of stagnation.
And you admit to me that you're the one to blame.
Acknowledging personal responsibility and culpability.
We'd rather submit to a substance that hates us
Choosing to yield to substances that harm rather than working for genuine love and fulfillment.
Than have to earn all the things we love
Prefering instant gratification over the effort required to attain cherished goals.
How twisted have we become,
Reflecting on the distorted state of being.
We're running out of excuses, they won't last for long
Facing a dwindling supply of excuses for destructive behavior.
We are what's wrong
Acknowledging personal flaws and contribution to problems.
Numb tot he damage we're dealing to the ones who stand in our way
Numbed to the harm caused to those who oppose or obstruct.
When will we see the price we'll pay?
Questioning when the consequences of actions will be recognized.
I'd prefer to be trapped inside addiction
Expressing a preference for being trapped in addiction over facing reality.
Chained to floor with no hope survive
Feeling bound and hopeless, preferring this state over confronting challenges.
Give it up you'll never escape
Encouraging resignation, suggesting escape is impossible.
Put aside thoughts of love and empathy
Suppressing feelings of love and empathy.
Who cares when the problem's not ours
Disregarding problems that don't directly affect us.
As long as light shines upon me, desperate words will never be heard
Prioritizing personal happiness over addressing desperate pleas or issues.
We are addicted to our own happiness.
Acknowledging addiction to one's own pursuit of happiness.
