Steer Your Way
Navigating Life's Moral Labyrinth
Lyrics
Steer your way through the ruins
Navigate through the wreckage and remains.
Of the altar and the mall
Referencing religious and consumerist symbols, move through the destruction of sacred places and commercial centers.
Steer your way through the fables
Guide yourself through the myths and stories.
Of creation and the fall
Deal with the tales of the beginning and the decline.
Steer your way past the palaces
Navigate past grand structures that tower over decay.
That rise above the rot
Year by year, witness the deterioration.
Year by year
Experience the passage of time, thought by thought.
Month by month
-Day by day
-Thought by thought
-Steer your heart past the truth
Guide your heart away from previously held truths.
You believed in yesterday
Move beyond the truths you once believed, like the goodness inherent in all.
Such as fundamental goodness
Refer to fundamental goodness and the wisdom of life's path.
And the wisdom of the way
-Steer your heart, precious heart
Direct your heart away from transactions and commodification, acknowledging the passage of time.
Past the women whom you bought
-Year by year
-Month by month
-Day by day
-Thought by thought
-Steer your path through the pain
Guide your way through intense pain that is more tangible than your perception.
That is far more real than you
Confront the disruption of cosmic order and acknowledge the uncertainty of a higher power.
That smashed the cosmic model
-That blinded every view
-And please don't make me go there
-Tho' there be a god or not
-Year by year
Continuously experience the passage of time and thought.
Month by month
-Day by day
-Thought by thought
-They whisper still, the ancient stones
Whispers from ancient stones and weeping mountains, questioning the cost of making things cheap, a reference to sacrifices made.
The blunted mountains weep
-As he died to make men holy
-Let us die to make things cheap
-And say the Mea Culpa which you've probably forgot
Invoke a sense of guilt and responsibility, urging acknowledgment year by year, month by month.
Year by year
-Month by month
-Day by day
-Thought by thought
-Steer your way, o my heart
Direct your heart despite the lack of entitlement.
Tho' I have no right to ask
Express a plea to someone inadequately equipped for a task.
To the one who was never
Refer to a person aware of their conviction and impending fate, with a continuous acknowledgment of time's progression.
Never equal to the task
-Who knows he's been convicted
-Who knows he will be shot
-Year by year
-Month by month
-Day by day
-Thought by thought
-They whisper still, the ancient stones
Reiterate the enduring whispers of ancient stones, emphasizing the sacrifice made for holiness and the need to confess one's faults.
The blunted mountains weep
-As he died to make men holy
-Let us die to make things cheap
-And say the Mea Culpa which you gradually forgot
-Year by year
Continue the plea for acknowledgment and confession, emphasizing the gradual forgetting of one's faults over time.
Month by month
-Day by day
-Thought by thought
