The One Armed Boxer vs. the Flying Guillotine
Wrestling Conscience: A Passionate Anthem by From First to Last
Lyrics
Kill the lights!
Calling for the lights to be turned off.
Hello ladies and gentlemen,
Greeting the audience.
I'm glad you've graced me with your presence
Expressing gratitude for the audience's presence.
You're in time to see me wrestling my conscience, staring into silence
Describing a struggle with inner conflict and contemplation.
You see I came to save the stage
Arriving to perform and make a difference on stage.
And I hope I'm not too late, passion called
Hoping not to be too late and answering a calling of passion.
From back behind the curtain screaming, "Sonny this is urgent"
Feeling a strong urgency from one's inner drive.
Fill these 50 persons with a purpose
Wanting to give purpose to the audience.
But don't just give it away
Advising against easily handing out purpose without effort.
Inspiration isn't cheap these days
Implying that inspiration shouldn't be undervalued.
You better make them earn it
Emphasizing the importance of earning inspiration.
(You better, make them earn it, make them earn it)
Reiterating the need for earning inspiration.
Hello ladies and gentlemen,
Repeated greeting to the audience.
I'm glad you've graced me with your presence
Expressing gratitude again for the audience's presence.
You're in time to see me wrestling my conscience, staring into silence
Reiterating the inner struggle and contemplation.
You see I came to save the stage
Reiterating the intent to make an impact on stage.
And I hope I'm not too late, passion called
Reiterating the hope not to be too late to follow passion.
From back behind the curtain screaming, "Sonny this is urgent"
Reiterating the urgency felt internally.
How do I address the letter to my generation?
Questioning how to communicate with one's own generation.
"Sonny" she said "save yourself the postage"
Advising against conventional communication methods.
How do I address a letter to my generation?
Repeating the inquiry about addressing one's generation.
"Sonny" she said "sing it in person"
Advising to communicate in person rather than in writing.
