Carbon Copy
Unraveling Conformity: Iwrestledabearonce's Anthem of Resistance
Lyrics
This cannot stay alive the lie in a hive mind
This situation cannot survive the falsehood within a collective mindset.
Realize the faction won
Acknowledge that a specific group or faction has emerged victorious.
Your goal is work, buy, die
Your life's purpose is reduced to a cycle of working, buying, and eventually dying.
Just know I don't want your acceptance or your forgiveness
Asserting a lack of desire for approval or forgiveness from others.
I don't want a leader I just need a witness
Expressing a need for witnesses rather than leaders in life.
We carbon copy for your profit
We conform and replicate ourselves for the benefit of others, likely for profit.
We tied our hands in tradition
Our conformity is deeply rooted in traditional values, restricting our freedom.
Unravel the thread that anchors me
Seeking liberation by unraveling the constraints that anchor the speaker.
Deconstruct the fibers that are clinging
Breaking down the connections that bind and limit personal growth.
You grieve for what's lost
Acknowledging grief for tangible losses.
I grieve for what never was
Expressing grief for unrealized possibilities.
It always feels the same
Emphasizing the repetitive and unchanging nature of certain experiences.
I want no part
Rejecting participation in something undesirable or objectionable.
I know- produce for yourself alone
Encouraging self-sufficiency and independence in production.
That's probably why they hate you the most
Suggesting that independence may provoke animosity from others.
Existing to suck you dry
Existing solely to exploit and deplete others.
Take away from the host the substance
Extracting essential elements from the host without consideration.
You are a resource for them to harness
Viewing individuals as resources to be utilized.
I'm opposed to my function
Expressing resistance to fulfilling a predetermined role or purpose.
The veil is not my composition
The outward appearance or cover is not a true representation of the speaker.
Unravel the thread that anchors me
Continuing the desire for liberation by breaking societal ties.
Deconstruct the fibres that are clinging
Further deconstructing the limiting fibers that restrict growth.
In the chronicle you were a sentence
Describing a person's existence in a historical narrative as merely a sentence.
Destroy the archive let them rebuild
Advocating for the destruction of past records to enable a fresh start.
I don't need a leader I just need a witness
Reiterating the preference for witnesses over leaders in life.
I am opposed to my function
Renewing the resistance to conform to a predefined function.
Cut out the thread
Literally cutting ties with restrictive elements.
Done with antiquity in a dying system
Expressing dissatisfaction with outdated systems in a declining state.
The scene it had no love for me
Reflecting on a past experience where the speaker felt unloved.
I don't exist in life a drone to work, buy, die
Rejecting a life of conformity to a predetermined pattern.
Believe in anything
Encouraging belief in something, though specific content is unspecified.
Typical this life
Describing life as typical within the mentioned cycle of work, buy, die.
Work, buy, die
Summarizing life's progression as a cycle of work, consumerism, and eventual death.
