Endless War
Embrace the Fragile Core: Navigating Life's Endless War with Impermanence
Lyrics
I saw the face of death
I witnessed death firsthand.
We've been trained for years
We have undergone extensive training over the years.
To hate
We are conditioned to harbor intense dislike.
And taught to fear
We've been educated to feel fear.
To walk alone
We are compelled to journey alone.
Until our final breath
This solitude persists until our last breath.
Until our final breath
-Ranked by
Our worth is measured by productivity.
Productivity
If only others could understand.
If only you could see
You are moving towards the inevitable end.
You walk towards the end
With eyes devoid of emotion.
With empty eyes
A mind lacking depth and empathy.
And shallow mind
-Despite the greed you seen
Despite witnessing greed, there is no understanding.
No sign of perception
No indication of comprehension.
Consume won't bring you peace
Material consumption won't bring inner peace.
You've built an armor
You've constructed a shield of ignorance.
Of ignorance
-Around a fragile
Around a vulnerable core.
Core
-You're worth defined
Your value is determined by strangers.
By people you don't know
This isn't a fulfilling life.
This isn't living
It's an enduring, relentless conflict.
This an endless war
A recurring theme of an unending war.
An endless war
-Endless war
-Endless war
Emphasizing the perpetuity of the conflict.
Can you feel the anger
Can you sense the hidden anger?
Buried beneath
Beneath a facade of a pleasant smile.
A pretty smile
Fueled by beliefs that drive you forward.
Fed by the beliefs
-Urging you
If only you could comprehend your path.
If only you could see
-You walk towards the end
You approach the end with vacant eyes.
With empty eyes
A mind lacking depth and empathy, despite witnessing greed.
And shallow mind
-Despite the greed you seen
No indication of comprehension despite observing greed.
No sign of perception
No sign of understanding.
Consume won't bring you peace
Material consumption won't provide tranquility.
You've built an armor
An armor of ignorance shields you.
Of ignorance
-Around a fragile
Enveloping a fragile core.
Core
-You're worth defined
Your value is determined by strangers.
By people you don't know
A life filled with constant distress.
A lifetime filled
Only the deceased witnessed the resolution of our sorrow.
With anguish
A plea to release and let go.
Only the dead
No hope remains.
Saw the end
Only those who have passed on saw the conclusion of our suffering.
Of our sorrow
A call to relinquish.
Let go
There is no hope, love, or sympathy.
There's no hope
An acknowledgment of a life spent in perpetual conflict.
No love
No positive emotions endure.
No sympathy
We dedicate our lives to endless wars.
We spend our lives
But ultimately, we all face solitude.
In endless wars
A repetitive theme of unending conflict.
But in the end
Despite everything, in the end, we are alone.
We all
A poignant conclusion, underlining the inevitability of solitude.
End up
-Alone
