Vultures
Navigating Deviation: Unraveling the Meaning in Mindless Faith's Vultures
Lyrics
There's no right, there is no wrong
There's no inherent concept of right or wrong; it's subjective.
Just different ways to come undone
Various paths leading to self-destruction exist.
Along the way to deviation
During the journey, there's a tendency to deviate from the norm.
Anticipating oblivion
Expecting and preparing for eventual destruction or downfall.
Hold me back, just let me go
Conflicting desires to be restrained and set free simultaneously.
You know I can't take much more
An acknowledgment of personal limitations and fragility.
All this time spent grinding teeth
Time spent in frustration or anxiety, possibly due to challenges.
And all this time spent keeping score
An accumulation of grievances or keeping track of one's losses.
Someone's going to cast the first stone
Referring to the tendency of some to judge and condemn others.
It helps them sleep better at night
Judgmental actions are a coping mechanism for some to find solace.
Heads are buried deep in sand
People intentionally ignore harsh realities, avoiding truth.
While overhead the vultures fly
Symbolizing imminent danger or threats from opportunistic forces.
So many die, so many live
Contrasting the abundance of death and survival, highlighting numbness.
Just going through the motions
Engaging in routine actions without genuine emotional involvement.
Don't pretend everything's fine
Rejecting the illusion of normalcy; acknowledging problems.
While overhead the vultures fly
Reiteration of the looming threat represented by vultures.
Vultures are out tonight
Highlighting the current presence and activity of vultures.
They've got their hidden agendas
Suggesting hidden motives or deceitful intentions of certain entities.
But we can't relax (into oblivion)
Despite the danger, there's a reluctance to succumb to oblivion.
No we can't surrender
Resisting complete surrender in the face of adversity.
Entrenched in commerce
Immersed in a materialistic and entertainment-driven society.
And Hollywood flare
Being negatively influenced or exploited by vulturous elements.
Brought down by vultures
The destructive impact of vultures on individuals or society.
Cause no one cares
Expressing a sense of apathy or indifference towards the plight of others.
