Broken Industry
Unmasking the Veins: Battling Deception in the Music Industry
Lyrics
They try to tell me this industry is false
Expressing skepticism about the authenticity of the music industry.
But it's just another advance on my head to pay off
Referring to financial pressure, as advances need to be repaid.
When will I make the move
Pondering when to take action or make a significant move.
When will I make the sound
Questioning when to create music that resonates with the audience.
To bring the thoughts in my head to a bouncing crowd
Desiring to captivate and engage the audience with one's thoughts.
This industry's not what it used to be
Noting the transformation and decline of the music industry.
They're backing what they are attacking
Highlighting conflicts and contradictions within the industry.
What can I do to make you see
Seeking ways to make others aware of the industry's issues.
To make you see
Reiterating the desire for awareness.
They promise the world and when you turn a blind eye
Critiquing unfulfilled promises in the industry and deceitful practices.
They duck your payments and leave you by the roadside
Describing the consequences of neglecting financial obligations.
But I will try with every piece of me
Expressing determination to contribute to positive change.
To Fix this industry
Commitment to fixing the perceived problems in the industry.
Step in, move close to the mic
Preparing to perform and emphasizing the importance of the first take.
Try to stay calm, it's only the first take
Encouraging composure during the initial recording.
See all of this kindness we do out of spite
Acknowledging kindness expressed with an underlying sense of conflict.
It's all just a part of the rules that we break
Recognizing that some actions go against conventional rules.
It seems to me in this industry
Observing the commodification of artists in the industry.
They sell them your soul or they knock out your teeth
Highlighting the potential sacrifices, including personal integrity.
All they do is mask reality
Commenting on the industry's tendency to distort reality.
They don't care about you or how you feed your family
Asserting the industry's disregard for artists' well-being and livelihoods.
You hold no value
Expressing a feeling of devaluation within the industry.
Just like the things in your life that you rush to
Comparing personal worth to things hurriedly pursued in life.
And I will make you see
Reiterating the determination to bring about awareness and change.
I'd give everything for a chance to believe
Willingness to make sacrifices for the chance to believe in something.
There is one thing that I have to admit
Acknowledging a unique aspect of the music, likening it to veins.
This music is plain like the veins it runs through
Stating that the music industry has deviated from its original state.
This industry is not what it used to be
Reiterating the transformation of the music industry.
But I'd give it all up for you
Expressing a willingness to sacrifice everything for a cause.
But I'd give it all up for you
Repeating the willingness to make sacrifices.
Take my hand
Extending an invitation to join in ending the industry's hardships.
We'll put an end to the suffering
Expressing a joint effort to alleviate suffering in the industry.
Everyday we're wasting away
Noting the gradual deterioration occurring daily.
It's clear to me
Acknowledging the challenges and difficulties in the industry.
It's hard sometimes
Highlighting the struggle to find a secure place in the industry.
it's hard to find a safe place to sleep
Linking the difficulty in finding a safe place to sleep to industry struggles.
it's all a part of this industry
Stating that hardships are an integral part of the music industry.
Take my hand
Repeating the invitation to collaborate in ending suffering.
We'll put an end to the suffering
Reiterating the collective effort to end industry hardships.
Everyday we're wasting away
Re-emphasizing the gradual decline and suffering in the industry.
It's clear to me
Reaffirming the challenges and difficulties faced regularly.
It's hard sometimes
Acknowledging the hardships in finding a secure place to sleep.
it's hard to find a safe place to sleep
Connecting the struggle for a safe place to sleep to industry challenges.
it's all a part of this industry
Reiterating that industry hardships are an integral part of the narrative.
