Rise Beyond Mortal Desires: NuGods Unveiled
Lyrics
Face to the floor
Submission or humility, being brought down
From the body protrudes wires
Being physically connected or controlled by external forces
A bastard connection to the core
An illegitimate or unwanted link to a central source or power
Pray to the north
Seeking guidance or orientation
As the stoic in you swore
A commitment to remaining unaffected emotionally
The text held no answers
Realization that existing information offers no solutions
And the holy men are wearing red
Religious figures adopting an alarming or concerning stance
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Uncertainty about values or causes worth defending
Maybe, pimp me, make me a whore
Suggestion of being manipulated or exploited
If we think we are
Perception of self-importance, possibly falsely
But that don't make me a god
Realization that personal significance doesn't equate to divinity
Take it, take it, take it, take it, take it 'til you're atop
An insatiable pursuit of power or dominance
Gaze up to sky
Looking towards the heavens or authority for direction
Stake a claim to advertise
Asserting ownership over celestial bodies for personal gain
The sun and its pastor collectivize dry
Exploiting the natural world for collective benefit
Place more and more
Increasing reliance on fragile or insubstantial beliefs
Faith in our cardboard wings
Investing trust in feeble or temporary constructs
Fly, fly, fly, fly, greedy eyes
Being consumed by insatiable desires or ambitions
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Reiteration of uncertainty regarding worthy causes
Maybe, pimp me, make me a whore
Repetition of feeling exploited or controlled
If we think we are
Emphasizing the disparity between perception and reality
But that don't make me a god
Acknowledgment that personal significance doesn’t equate to godhood
Take it
An urging or instruction to take control or seize opportunities
Unceasing irony
A continuous presence of contradictory situations
Cynicism destroys sincerity
A skeptical mindset undermining genuine emotions or beliefs
For all time
An implication of long-lasting consequences
We killed the father in the hearts of men
The removal or rejection of traditional authority figures
And now the Dragon has birthed forth all sin
An emergence of widespread wrongdoing or immorality
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Reiteration of uncertainty regarding worthy causes
Maybe, pimp me, make me a whore
Repetition of feeling manipulated or exploited
If we think we are
Highlighting the discrepancy between perception and reality
But that don't make me a god
Acknowledgment that personal significance doesn’t equate to divinity
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Reiteration of uncertainty regarding worthy causes
Maybe, pimp me, make me a whore
Repetition of feeling exploited or controlled
If we think we are
Emphasizing the disparity between perception and reality
But that don't make me a god
Acknowledgment that personal significance doesn’t equate to godhood
Take it, take it, take it, take it, take it 'til you're atop
Continued urging to take control or seize opportunities
