Lyrics
Living in our sphere
Living within our defined space or environment
Living in our bubble
Existing in a self-contained and limited perspective
Living in our heads
Being absorbed in our own thoughts and perceptions
As structures turn to rubble
Observing the collapse of established structures
Fear in the heart
Experiencing fear at an individual level
Terror in the street
Encountering terror and chaos in the public space
Agendas in the dark
Hidden motives or plans in the shadows
Force us to compete
External forces compelling us to compete
Hiding from the truth
Avoiding facing uncomfortable truths
Blocking out the horror
Suppressing awareness of horrifying realities
Tuning in tuning out
Engaging and disengaging from communication
Message out of order
Communication that lacks coherence or order
Dying fast for money
Rapidly deteriorating for the pursuit of wealth
Chalk it up as freedom
Accepting negative consequences as a form of freedom
Dish it out nothing
Offering nothing substantial or meaningful
Conjure up a reason
Creating reasons or justifications out of thin air
Bury yourself in layers of apathy
Immersing oneself in layers of indifference
Busy yourself with objecting silently
Engaging in silent objection to societal issues
Repeat refrain of righteous indignation
Repeating expressions of self-righteous anger
Breed extremes of thought in isolation
Fostering extreme ideologies in isolation
Would you die for freedom?
Questioning the willingness to die for freedom
Can you repeat the choices?
Asking if choices can be repeated or reconsidered
Still searching for a reason
Continuing the search for purpose amidst conflicting voices
In a crowd of preaching voices
Surrounded by preaching voices in a crowd
What's the cost of living?
Exploring the price or consequences of existence
Can you repeat the question?
Repeating a question about the cost of living
Still feel like something's missing
Feeling a sense of incompleteness or emptiness
Beneath one-way reflection
Reflecting beneath a one-way surface or perspective
Construct - tear it down
Building something and then destructing it
Contract - rip it up
Forming a contract and then tearing it apart
Guarded - who's around
Being cautious and vigilant about one's surroundings
Coping - not enough
Coping mechanisms proving insufficient
Rushing - slow it down
Rushing through life, urging to slow down
Closed off - open up
Being closed off and then opening up
Avoiding - look around
Avoiding issues and looking around instead
Look back - seen enough
Reflecting on past experiences and having seen enough
