Rising Tides: Unveiling Society's Struggle in Night Flight's 'Generation'
Lyrics
Got myself this education
Expressing the acquisition of education.
Telling me the world was mine;
Reflecting the belief that the world is open to possibilities.
Hatch your dream and make it happen
Encouraging the pursuit of dreams and turning them into reality.
But no one tells you there’s a line.
Highlighting the existence of limitations or boundaries not mentioned in education.
Well, go cry a river.
Encouraging resilience and dismissing self-pity.
I said, “Go cry a river!”
-Well, I’m waiting on the war
Waiting for a societal conflict between privileged and poor, acknowledging the burden on those who build society's foundation.
Between the privileged and the poor.
-It’s so taxing to be taxing
-Mainly those who build the floor.
-Well, go cry a river.
Reiterating the call for resilience and dismissing self-pity.
I said, “Go cry a river!”
-Don’t let your ego drown in spite of this
Advising against letting ego be overwhelmed despite challenges and emphasizing individual responsibility for one's fate.
We’re still the makers of our dying wish
-God forbid we make known any feelings of dismay
Criticizing a self-obsessive and oppressive world while cautioning against expressing feelings of dismay.
Upon this self-obsessive, net oppressive world that we create!
-Well, go cry a river.
Repeating the call for resilience and dismissing self-pity.
I said, “Go cry a river!”
-Don’t let your ego drown in spite of this
Reiterating the advice against letting ego be overwhelmed and emphasizing individual responsibility.
We’re still the makers of our dying wish
-In the end you will see
Foreseeing a future where others will be terrified of the speaker, possibly due to their resilience and individuality.
They will be terrified. terrified of me!
-In the end you will see
-They will be terrified. terrified of me!
-Don’t let your ego drown in spite of this,
Emphasizing the ongoing role of individuals in determining their fate despite challenges.
We’re still the makers of our dying wish
