Golden Age of Regurgitation
Navigating the Golden Age of Soul Reflections
Lyrics
"Something is very wrong with this world"
Expressing a belief that something is fundamentally amiss in the world
He observed wryly with a grin
Observing cynically but with a smirk
"I'm old enough to know better
Acknowledging experience and maturity
To try and search for the answers within."
Choosing introspection over seeking external solutions
With long, slow drag from that cancer stick
Smoking a cigarette slowly
Sweet poison in his lungs
Recognizing the harm caused by the addiction
And a wicked train of giddy riddles
Having a string of clever but slightly malicious questions
Poised upon his tongue
Ready to express these questions
"We're in the golden age of regurgitation;
Describing an era where recycled ideas dominate
What's this generation generating?
Questioning the output of the current generation
Just victims of ego intoxication
Considering individuals as victims of self-absorption
Thoughts as vacant as detuned gospel stations..."
Comparing thoughts to meaningless broadcasts
He caught himself ranting again
Realizing he's passionately expressing himself again
On an empty street corner
In an isolated location, venting without an audience
With no one around him
Feeling loneliness despite the solitude
These days became sweet torture
Experiencing a bittersweet feeling in current times
"You belong in your most sacred self
Suggesting the importance of authenticity
Not wrapped in complicit contempt
Not being complicit in self-destruction
Lots of people die with regrets
Highlighting regrets of unfulfilled lives
Lives unlived, dreams undreamt."
Emphasizing unfulfilled aspirations
"We're in the golden age of regurgitation;
Reiteration of recycled thoughts in society
What's this generation generating?
Questioning the current generation's creativity
Just victims of ego intoxication
Viewing individuals as victims of self-absorption, again
Thoughts as vacant as detuned gospel stations..."
Comparing thoughts to meaningless broadcasts, again
He paused, and snuffed his stogie
Taking a break from smoking
Eyes dancing like glowing embers
Expressing lively, passionate eyes
"Either way, you don't get to choose
Stating the inevitability of remembering past experiences
What your soul remembers!
Highlighting differences in attitudes toward memories
The difference between me and you
Pointing out a distinction between individuals
It's holding on and letting go
Explaining the importance of holding on and letting go
It's the only way to learn;
Asserting that experiencing is crucial for learning
Otherwise you'll never know."
Highlighting the necessity of learning through experience
"We're in the golden age of regurgitation;
Reiteration of recycled thoughts in society, again
What's this generation generating?
Questioning the current generation's creativity, again
Just victims of ego intoxication
Viewing individuals as victims of self-absorption, again
Thoughts as vacant as the next pop sensation..."
Comparing thoughts to vacuous pop culture
"We're in the golden age of regurgitation;
Reiteration of recycled thoughts in society, once more
What's this generation generating?
Questioning the current generation's creativity, once more
Just victims of ego intoxication
Viewing individuals as victims of self-absorption, once more
Thoughts as vacant as detuned gospel stations..."
Comparing thoughts to meaningless broadcasts, once more
