Disposable
Disposable: Unveiling the Dystopia of Greed and Desperation
Lyrics
Desperation's all we know
Desperation is the dominant emotion in our experience.
While you sit up on your throne
Addressing someone in authority or power who remains indifferent.
Save your scraps give the dog a bone
Critiquing the superficial generosity of those in control.
While we're dying all alone
Expressing isolation and abandonment in the face of hardship.
Say I'm essential I wouldn't know
Questioning one's importance or value in the eyes of others.
Caught in dystopic undertow
Trapped in a negative and deteriorating societal environment.
Call me a hero well you're the foe
Challenging the perception of being a hero when facing hostility.
I guess I'm just expendable
Acceptance of one's expendability in a larger, indifferent system.
Would you even know
Rhetorical question about awareness of the speaker's struggles.
What these scars have shown
Highlighting scars as evidence of suffering and experience.
When all you do is
Criticism of someone constantly taking without reciprocating.
Take and take from me
Expressing the toll of constant exploitation and deprivation.
Could you even show
Doubting the capability of the indifferent to display empathy.
Any compassion known
Questioning the existence of compassion in the current world.
This is the world you are building
Condemning the state of the world shaped by those in power.
Push your hatred and your greed
Criticizing the propagation of hatred and selfishness.
Bottom dollar is all we need
Reducing everything to monetary value as the sole priority.
Create failure so you succeed
Creating failures intentionally to achieve personal success.
Drown the poor with their blood you squeeze
Metaphorically drowning the less privileged for personal gain.
Can't take a second to see their eyes
Ignoring the suffering of others, particularly the less fortunate.
The fire burning can't stand your lies
Expressing frustration at deceitful actions and misinformation.
You'll be the ones thrown to the flies
Predicting repercussions for those responsible for injustices.
On your knees as the masses rise
Symbolizing the uprising of the masses against oppression.
Would you even know
Reiteration of the impact of scars as symbols of hardship.
What these scars have shown
Re-emphasizing the importance of acknowledging shared pain.
When all you do is
Repeating the theme of being exploited without reciprocation.
Take and take from me
Continued expression of the toll of constant exploitation.
Could you even show
Questioning the capacity of the indifferent to show empathy.
Any compassion known
Doubting the existence of compassion in the current world.
This is the world you are building
Reiteration of condemnation for the state of the world.
Could you even show
Challenging the possibility of the indifferent showing hope.
The slightest glimpse of hope
Asking if there's any trace of optimism from the indifferent.
When all you do is
Highlighting the continuing pattern of taking without giving.
Take and take away
Emphasizing the relentless nature of deprivation and exploitation.
Would you even care
Raising the question of concern for the world's well-being.
If the worlds not there
Questioning the indifferent's reaction if the world collapses.
And all you're left with
Reflecting on the consequences when everything has been destroyed.
Has burned away
Continuation of the aftermath, emphasizing irreversible damage.
