Modern Tense: Echoes of a World Unraveling
Lyrics
A star crossed fate I've stumbled on
A fate marked by unfortunate circumstances that I've encountered
It's calling me to be the only one
An irresistible force is urging me to be the sole individual in a situation
I feel it inside, the ice is thin
I sense it internally, the fragility of the situation or emotional state
The walls are turning and caving in
The surroundings are shifting and collapsing
A minute feels like a lifetime inside the void
Time seems prolonged and daunting within a vast emptiness
Of loneliness that stays untold
A hidden loneliness that remains unexpressed
The times are changing in our new age
Current times are evolving in our contemporary era
Fear and hatred keep us in our cage
Fear and animosity confine us within our limitations
We're staring at our screens once more
We are once again engrossed in gazing at our electronic screens
I wish real life it wasn't such a bore
I desire that real life wasn't so dull and uninteresting
What have we come to now
Reflecting on the present state of affairs
Imagination is dead, and all these people are stuck in bed
Imagination is dormant, and people are confined to their beds
When I'm sitting by the sunset and the sea
During moments of contemplation by the sunset and the sea
Under the gun
Under intense pressure or scrutiny
I can't believe the things I hear and see
I'm incredulous about what I hear and witness
Shadows creep in broad daylight
Darkness encroaches even in the daylight
Murders, thieves and endless fights
Acts of violence, theft, and perpetual conflicts
Limits don't seem to exist these days
Boundaries or constraints appear non-existent in the contemporary era
For all the cruelty of mankind's ways
Despite humanity's harsh actions
A minute is like a lifetime waiting for the day
Time feels prolonged while anticipating relief from worries
When all these worries shut up and go away
A longing for the day when concerns cease to exist
