Lyrics
Amen to the search for the knowledge of this world
Acknowledging and supporting the pursuit of knowledge in the world
Wishing that it sprung from every soul like a pearl
Expressing a desire for universal enlightenment and wisdom
Did you do your own research?
Asking if the listener has conducted their own investigations
Did you build from the ground your own church?
Inquiring whether the listener has independently established their beliefs or values
Down with the written histories
Rejecting established historical narratives
For those burned up books that we cannot read
Disdain for lost knowledge due to burned books
Celebrate the graves that you stand upon
Encouraging acknowledgment and celebration of the past and its impact
This is love to the deaths that I'm standing on
Expressing love and commitment to historical struggles and sacrifices
A claustrophobic magic spirals, sickens, and swirls
Describing a negative, oppressive force that affects and confuses
Can you feel the failure that I've felt with the girls?
Asking if the listener can empathize with the singer's experiences of failure in relationships
Liberation's out, bring the mind-prisons back in
Calling for a return to mental confinement after a period of liberation
Get 'em safe, keep them safe
Advocating for the protection and safety of individuals
Forget the past, through eras their sickness lasts
Encouraging a focus on the present and future rather than dwelling on the past
Obsolescence, pre-designed
Highlighting the planned obsolescence of certain aspects of existence
Been picking fights with that lobotomized mind
Engaging in conflict with a mentally impaired or controlled mind
Lock-down commencing soon
Anticipating a period of confinement or restriction
Too many graveyards on the moon
Expressing concern about the overabundance of graves or failures
I can't forget until my mind dies
Stating an inability to forget until the end of one's cognitive existence
Just tell the future eras we tried
Requesting future generations to acknowledge efforts made in the past
We're sending up flares, breed in good pairs
Using flares as a metaphor for signaling positive relationships
Fight with bare hands to occupy their chairs
Advocating for taking action, even with limited resources
I can't forget until my mind dies
Reiterating the difficulty of forgetting past experiences
I can't forget until my mind dies
Emphasizing the persistent nature of memories until the end of cognitive function
I can't forget until my mind dies
Repeating the idea of persistent memory and its impact on the mind
I can't forget until my mind dies
Reiterating the difficulty of forgetting until the end of one's cognitive existence
