Lyrics

Everything is permitted, everything is allowed

Expressing a sense of freedom and lack of restrictions, suggesting that everything is allowed.

And all our gods we have outwitted

Claiming superiority over traditional beliefs or deities, indicating a defiance or overcoming of established norms.

We are running with the crowd

Choosing to follow the majority, running with the crowd and not standing out.

And all the clocks are showing zero

Symbolizing a reset or a new beginning, with all clocks indicating zero.

And all our parents must have fled

Suggesting a lack of parental guidance or influence.

And we just never had no heroes

Reflecting on the absence of role models or admirable figures.

And all our enemies will soon be stone cold dead

Anticipating the demise of adversaries or challenges.

Everything is permitted, there is nothing out of bounds

Reiterating the theme of unlimited freedom and absence of restrictions.

There are no limits or no fences

Emphasizing the lack of boundaries or limitations.

There is always some way 'round

Asserting that there is always a way to overcome obstacles.

And all the compass points are zero

Indicating a loss of direction or purpose, with compass points at zero.

And all the navigators fled

Suggesting a departure from traditional guidance or navigation.

And we just never had no heroes

Reiterating the absence of heroic figures or positive role models.

And all our enemies will soon be stone cold dead

Anticipating the defeat or end of enemies.


If everything is permitted, if nothing ever is taboo

Exploring the consequences of unlimited freedom, suggesting potential negative outcomes.

Then there is always something shattered

Acknowledging that something valuable may be damaged when breaking societal taboos.

When there is something breaking through

Highlighting the potential consequences of pushing boundaries.


And all the clocks are showing zero

Repeating the symbolic reset with all clocks at zero.

And all our parents must have fled

Reiterating the absence of parental influence or guidance.

And we just never had no heroes

Repeating the theme of lacking heroic figures or positive role models.

And all our enemies will soon be stone cold dead

Reiterating the anticipation of the defeat or end of enemies.


If everything is permitted, if nothing ever is taboo

Reiterating the exploration of consequences in a scenario of unlimited freedom and lack of taboos.

Then there is always something shattered

Reiterating the acknowledgment of potential damage when breaking societal taboos.

When there is something breaking through

Repeating the highlighting of potential consequences when pushing boundaries.

Then there is always something shattered

Emphasizing the persistent theme of something valuable being shattered in the process of breaking through.

When there is something breaking through

Repeating the emphasis on the impact of breaking through societal norms.

Everything is permitted

Concluding with a restatement of the theme that everything is permitted, summarizing the overarching message.
