where we go from here
Reflections on Human Failure: Where We Go from Here by God Talk KC
Lyrics
Long after your worthless bodies rot
Reflecting on the long-lasting impact even after death.
We're left assuming the blame
Accepting responsibility and blame for something.
We're left here paying the price
Dealing with the consequences and paying a significant price.
We're left to carry the shame
Bearing the burden of shame and guilt.
When the world caves in
Contemplating a moment of crisis or disaster.
Will I be where I want to be
Questioning personal fulfillment and goals amid chaos.
When the sunlight dims
Considering the significance of one's existence as circumstances change.
Will it matter what became of me
Reflecting on the impact of personal choices and actions on one's legacy.
When the world caves in
Revisiting the idea of a world-shattering event and personal positioning.
When the world caved in
Recalling a past catastrophic event and its aftermath.
Everyone looked to us
Being looked upon for answers and accountability.
To ask us why the fuck
Questioning the reasons behind failure and criticism.
We failed to kill you when we had the chance
Expressing regret for missing an opportunity for action.
This price to steep to pay
Acknowledging a high cost that makes success unattainable.
We threw the world away
Describing a reckless abandonment of responsibility.
Fucking cowards to the very end
Criticizing others for cowardice until the very end.
Complacency in life
Highlighting a sense of complacency leading to ignorance.
Has kept us fucking blind
Blaming a lack of awareness for societal issues.
So no one stands or speaks out
Describing a passive stance, with no one taking a stand.
Knees on the floor
Depicting submission, with people on their knees.
Head bowed
Illustrating a defeated posture with bowed heads.
Content to sit this out
Choosing not to participate or take action.
(Out of time)
Signaling a sense of urgency or imminent consequences.
You, who would trade out the lives of man
Criticizing those willing to sacrifice human lives for personal gain.
Just to further the reach of gain
Condemning the pursuit of profit at the expense of lives.
Looking down at us from mountain tops
Depicting a perspective from a position of power and indifference.
Too high to see us sharpen blades
Highlighting the inability of those in power to see the consequences of their actions.
(Out of time)
Reinforcing the urgency of the situation.
Fuck
Expressing frustration or anger strongly.
Bury me in the valley
Symbolic request to be buried in a valley, perhaps away from societal struggles.
Dare not to struggle
Advising against resistance or fighting against challenges.
Don't deserve to win
Claiming not to deserve victory or success.
Fuck
Reiterating frustration or anger strongly.
Bury me in the valley
Repeating the symbolic request to be buried in a valley.
Dare not to struggle
Reiterating advice against resistance or struggle.
Don't deserve to win
Emphasizing the belief of not deserving to win or succeed.
