Nothing's New
Eternal Cycles: Unveiling Life's Repetitive Drama
Lyrics
Every book has the same cover
Commenting on the cliché nature of judging things by their outward appearance.
Judgements called down to discover
Referencing societal judgments seeking to uncover the truth.
Middle ground in this day and age
Observing a lack of common ground in the contemporary era.
Same stories, never on the same page
Noticing that stories and perspectives differ widely.
We're in a never-ending cycle
Describing a repetitive and unchanging pattern in life.
The world keeps spinning in a downward spiral
Highlighting a negative, ongoing trend in the world.
The clock keeps ticking, counter clockwise
Emphasizing the relentless passage of time.
While we're just wasting time for our own demise
Suggesting that time is being wasted, leading to self-destruction.
Then, Now, Always
Expressing a sense of continuity with "Then, Now, Always."
Then, Now, Always
Repeating the idea of a perpetual cycle in life.
The grass is green and the sun is out and
Describing a seemingly idyllic scene but emphasizing the lack of change ("nothing's new").
Looking down on everyone
-Seasons change except for you, nothing's new
-The grass is green and the sun is out and
-Looking down on everyone
-Seasons change except for you, nothing's new
-Cancellation is the culture
Noting a culture of cancellation or rejection.
Scavenging feed like a vulture
Comparing the act of scavenging to a vulture.
Rather just binge-watch a rerun cos
Expressing a preference for familiar content, acknowledging the emptiness of completion.
What is left when it's all said and done
Raising existential questions about what remains after life's experiences.
We're in a never-ending cycle
Reiteration of the cyclical nature of life and time.
The world keeps spinning in a downward spiral
-The clock keeps ticking, counter clockwise
-While we're just wasting time for our own demise
-Then, Now, Always
-Then, Now, Always
-The grass is green and the sun is out and
Repeating the juxtaposition of an unchanged natural scene with the idea that "nothing's new."
Looking down on everyone
-Seasons change except for you, nothing's new
-The grass is green and the sun is out and
-Looking down on everyone
-Seasons change except for you, nothing's new
-The grass is green and the sun is out and
Introducing a metaphor of radiation, possibly symbolizing change or destruction.
Looking down on everyone
-Seasons change except for you, nothing's new
-The radiation will energize and
-Travel down at the speed of light
-Evaporates we once knew, nothing's new
-This destruction, an appetite for
Describing destructive tendencies and a disregard for balance.
Taking more than what is give
-They'll bite the hand that feeds you, nothing's new
-Vultures are flying all through the sky and
Using vultures as a metaphor for opportunistic behavior, emphasizing the lack of novelty.
Just to feed on what is left
-From a bird's-eye point of view, nothing's new
