Ethnic Decay
Ethnic Decay: Unveiling the Illusion of the American Dream
Lyrics
Buildings are crumbling
Symbolizes decay and deterioration of structures or societal systems.
The earth is shaking
Suggests a profound disturbance or crisis, possibly on a societal scale.
My patience collapsing
Indicates personal struggle and loss of tolerance or endurance.
The pain forsaking
Expresses the abandonment of suffering or hardship.
I'm watching my country burn to the ground
Observing the destruction of one's homeland.
Follow the smoke and don't make a sound
Advises discretion or silence amidst chaos.
The American Dream isn't what it seems
Challenges the idealized notion of the American Dream.
It's an enticing cover filled with lies on the pages in between
Highlights deception within the supposed dream, filled with falsehoods.
Laying your train tracks
Metaphorical tasks representing routine activities.
Cutting your grass
Symbolizes mundane responsibilities or societal expectations.
Racially profiled
Addresses racial profiling and discrimination.
Police attacks
References violent encounters with law enforcement.
Your sense of pride
Criticizes a false or misguided sense of national pride.
It's polished trash
Describes the hollowness or worthlessness of this pride.
Don't forget
Reminds not to forget the origins of societal divisions.
Who created this divide
Points to responsibility for creating societal divides.
The peace was never there
States that true peace never existed.
A sleeping beast roused by genocide
References historical atrocities waking a dormant crisis.
Only a matter of time
Suggests an inevitable collision or conflict.
Till our worlds collide
Anticipates the convergence of different worlds in conflict.
Purification of the human race
Refers to an extreme purification concept, possibly with negative consequences.
Violation of our God given rights
Addresses violations of basic human rights, possibly by authority figures.
Masturbation of your rotting minds
Metaphorical decay or corruption of intellectual and moral faculties.
Devastation of your perfect world
Suggests the destruction of an idealized utopian world.
