Blissful Ignorance
Awakening Echoes: A Reflection on Choices and Consequences
Lyrics
We've been giving every chance to survive
We've been given ample opportunities to survive.
But we chose to go another direction
Despite the chances, we have chosen a different path.
Tell me would we ever be another existence
Is there a possibility for an alternative existence?
Or is this the end of generations
Questioning if this marks the end of generations.
To come ahead we've destroyed them
In our pursuit, we have caused destruction for those to follow.
Blessed be them they never seen it coming
Acknowledging those who were unaware of the impending consequences.
Overtaken by our own ignorance
We've been overwhelmed by our own lack of awareness.
A shameful and careless regret
Expressing remorse for a regret that is both shameful and careless.
A shameful regret
Reiterating the shamefulness of the regret.
Which could have been avoided
Reflecting on the missed opportunity to avoid the regret.
Unclaimed consequences
Facing unforeseen consequences of our actions.
We thought we'd break the chains And break the mold
Believing in the ability to break free from constraints and norms.
Realize that the weight is resting
Awareness that the burden rests heavily on our shoulders.
On our shoulders
Emphasizing the weight of responsibility.
And we can't take no more
Reaching a point where the burden becomes unbearable.
And when it's said we it's meant Beyond what it is we see
The collective "we" refers to more than what is visibly evident.
But mankind has a whole
Highlighting the inherent flaws in humanity.
Is filled with holes in it
Emphasizing the widespread imperfections in humanity.
But mankind as a whole
Repeating the idea of pervasive imperfections in humanity.
Is filled with holes in it
Reiterating the concept of widespread imperfections.
We've dealt with this and been Through that
Having experienced various challenges and trials.
Should we really just give in
Questioning the wisdom of surrendering to circumstances.
The time has come where we must Stake out our own claim
Acknowledging the need to assert individual claims.
Everyone around you will be doing The same
Anticipating that everyone will assert their own claims.
Getting what they need
People are pursuing what they need for themselves and their well-being.
To mend them and theirs
Addressing the process of healing and taking care of oneself and loved ones.
We've dealt with this and been Through that
Revisiting the experiences of dealing with challenges.
Should would really just give in
Questioning the wisdom of yielding to challenges.
The time has come where we must Stake our claim
Recognizing the necessity to assert one's claim at this juncture.
Stake our claim
Emphasizing the imperative need to stake a claim.
