The Banner to the Sick
Unveiling Resistance: Decoding Milemarker's Anthem to Defiance
Lyrics
The circuitry was programmed to say
The programmed circuitry conveys a message.
That the combat boots are worn down and brave.
Combat boots are worn down but brave.
But the ones whose feet will fit right inside
People who conform easily are favored.
Play the mitten on another's hand.
Metaphor: Fitting into established roles.
And the mitten to the boot could tell:
Communication between different groups is mundane.
"We are so pedestrian."
Expressing a sense of commonality and ordinariness.
So we throw the stone to counter what's sewn.
Challenging or resisting established norms.
We won't breathe. We won't sing.
Refusing to engage or conform.
We won't say those things we mean.
Avoidance of expressing genuine thoughts and feelings.
Pedestrian will come out to say that
Conforming voices predict the sick will suffer.
The sick will start to die off in herds.
An expectation of a mass decline in the sick.
Scholastic statues of the unheard.
Intellectual representations of the unheard.
Empty banners for lost words.
Symbolic banners for lost and unspoken words.
And the banner to the sick will show
The banner reflects the impact on the sick.
That our stitches sew tomorrow.
Symbolizing efforts to shape the future.
So we throw the stone
Repeating the idea of resisting established norms.
To counter what's sewn.
Continued resistance against societal norms.
We won't breathe and we won't sing.
Reaffirming the commitment to non-conformity.
We won't say those things we mean.
Continued avoidance of genuine expression.
