Eyes Right Out
Dissuaded Reflections: Unveiling Societal Struggles
Lyrics
Don't look upon the spoils with accusing gaze
Caution against accusing others of wrongdoing when viewing the rewards.
Don't insinuate that this stranglehold should really break
Discouragement from suggesting that the oppressive control should end.
Don't jab conspiratorial fingers in that direction
Advises against pointing fingers in a conspiratorial manner in that direction.
Don't hold up to the light their dregs of purified poison
Warns against examining and justifying their harmful actions as if they were purified.
Gently you'll be dissuaded, brought around
Indicates a subtle persuasion or influence to conform to a certain perspective.
Don't work out that the suffering mind knows when to die
Advises not to figure out when a suffering mind should end its existence.
Don't drink from jewelled chalices and wonder why
Cautions against enjoying luxurious things without questioning the consequences.
Don't steal back from exploiters that stripped you bare
Discourages reclaiming possessions from exploiters who left you vulnerable.
Don't arrive back to thinking that he's got your share
Advises against assuming someone else has taken what rightfully belongs to you.
Somehow you've been dissuaded and shut out
Suggests that persuasion has led to a change in one's beliefs, shutting them out.
Objections raised all softened to a murmur
Objected points or criticisms have been softened to a barely audible level.
Wanton blasphemers shrink down in this vacuum
Those who disrespect religious sentiments retreat in the absence of opposition.
Loudest base pleasures stifled to a whimper
The most intense and fundamental pleasures are subdued to a mere whisper.
Colour and shade is so bland in this vacuum
Colors and variety lose significance in this environment of emptiness.
Repentant - you've been muzzled in their open arms
Repentance is silenced in the welcoming embrace of those in power.
