Violent Times
Unveiling the Turbulent Depths: Joan Smith & the Jane Does' Violent Times
Lyrics
I feel we've lost some ground
Feeling a sense of regression or decline.
But your money's safe and sound
Despite societal challenges, financial assets remain secure.
I'll play with all you've lost
Willing to engage with and confront the losses experienced.
And choke you 'til you cough
Using force or pressure until a reaction occurs.
Let's pave away our fears
Suggesting a collective effort to overcome fears.
The trees were always near
The natural world, represented by trees, is always close.
Have you no faith in man?
Questioning faith in humanity.
He taught us all he can
Humanity has already learned everything it can.
What we hate
Expressing animosity towards certain things.
Is what we are
What is disliked or hated is reflective of what one is.
What we are
Reiteration that identity is defined by complaints.
Is only complaints
Our essence is primarily composed of grievances.
I can never stand these sights out loud
Discomfort with articulating unsettling truths openly.
You must always gather all these crowds
Emphasizing the need to gather support during difficult times.
Shocked until we find out all these crimes
Discovering the truth about crimes can be shocking.
Dig your elbow into my spine
A physical act symbolizing internal conflict or pressure.
In these violent times
Highlighting the challenging and tumultuous era we are in.
Oh these violent times
Reiteration of the tumultuous nature of the current times.
Your lies are all the same Repeat for empty gain
Accusing duplicity, repeating lies for personal gain.
We'll gorge until we explode
An excessive pursuit leading to a destructive end.
And throw up our last hope
Rejecting the last remnants of optimism or expectation.
