Rebellion Unleashed: Dissent in a Dying Land

Lyrics

No one sees things the same way,

No one perceives things in the same way;

Tired of listening

Feeling exhausted from constantly hearing;

Watching my world going down,

Observing my world deteriorating;

Sick of hanging on

Tired of enduring and holding on;

How to believe in your flag,

Questioning the belief in national symbols;

And serve my country

While serving my country;

Has all we have learned been right,

Reflecting on whether the knowledge acquired is correct;

God knows I can't say

Expressing uncertainty about the correctness;

Dying land, the place we call home

A land in decline, our supposed home;

I feel like I was born to lose

Feeling as if destined for failure;

Wasted past, hopeless future, no real desire

A past wasted, a future without genuine aspirations;

People dig the government, I'm a dissident

Rejecting government approval, identifying as a dissenter;

I have to go away, false promises,

Compelled to depart due to unfulfilled promises;

I don't want your nation

Rejecting allegiance to a specific nation;

I don't need protection,

Declaring independence from the need for protection;

What scares me is your dirty little war

Fearing the consequences of a morally questionable war;

This land will never change

Pessimistic about the prospect of positive change in the land;

These old fashioned values make me vomit

Disgusted by outdated values;

Protect you will being,

Mocking the idea of safeguarding well-being;

You can read my mind and what I've got in

Implied reluctance to reveal personal thoughts;

Some people crawl, some will never fall

Some struggle while others remain resilient;

Silent hate, I walk in silent hate

Carrying an internal, unspoken resentment;

Burn the flag, I cannot stand your flag

Symbolically rejecting the national flag;

Fallen country, it won't set me free

A country in decline, unable to liberate;

Dying land, promise land

Repeating the notion of a dying land and a promised land;

Silent rage, I live in silent rage

Living with silent rage;

Some people cry, some will never die

Some endure pain while others avoid death;

I hate to go away, false promises,

Reluctantly departing due to broken promises;

I don't want your nation

Rejecting allegiance to a specific nation again;
