Lyrics

I don't need religion

Rejecting the need for organized religion

God bless no one

Not invoking blessings from any deity or figure

Me and my own opinions

Stating personal beliefs and thoughts

Are written by me

Emphasizing authorship and autonomy in opinions

You surrender

Yielding to mass influence and control

Under mass hypnosis

Being subject to widespread, overpowering suggestions

Bound to illusions

Trapped in false perceptions or beliefs

Produced by your god

Illusions perpetuated by societal constructs


Who is humane

A being displaying human traits

Real alive no god

Emphasizing existence without a deity


I see your blindness

Observing someone's inability to perceive reality

Erase your identity

Removing one's distinctiveness or uniqueness

Your mind is hollow

Having a mind lacking depth or substance

Carved to inability

Shaped or molded into incapability

I know to be

Remaining true to oneself

Loyal to myself

Commitment to personal principles

My integrity leaves myself

Preserving honesty and moral principles

Alone in peace with me

Contentment found in individuality


God

(Reference to the concept of God)


There's no god

Denying the existence of a deity

Life is a trap

Life perceived as a deceptive confinement

Unlock your mind

Encouraging freeing one's thoughts

Trust in yourself

Having faith in personal capabilities


Wake from the grip of the tongue

Awakening from verbal manipulation

You've been choked oppressed

Experiencing suppression and constraint through language

God owns god cheats god lies

Listing negative attributes assigned to a deity

God hates god kills god slays

Highlighting destructive traits associated with a godly figure


The pressure on humanity

Describing the immense stress on humanity

Has risen beyond control

Humanity's control reaching an overwhelming point

We are leading evolution

Leading human development towards extinction

Into termination

Directing the path towards an end

The sense of hate

Feelings of animosity or aversion

Inbreeding scars to innocence

Scars caused by breeding within the same group

Genetic prejudice a

Prejudice against one's own genetic lineage

Selfdestructive line in pain

A self-destructive cycle marked by pain


Why this reality

Questioning the purpose or validity of reality

Life poured into inanity

Life seemingly poured into meaninglessness
