Divided States
Navigating the Turbulent Terrain of Unity and Change
Lyrics
We can spit in any direction and hit ourselves in the face
We are self-destructive, harming ourselves in various ways.
We can throw away our future for a chance at second place
We may sacrifice our future for a chance at a lower achievement.
We can concentrate on all the things that'll alleviate our current state
Focusing on things that could improve our current situation is possible.
But we won't because we're too scared, too tired to run this race
Fear and fatigue prevent us from taking necessary actions.
Turned against each other, don't know how long we'll last
Internal conflicts weaken our collective strength.
We're too distracted to care
Our attention is scattered, and we are indifferent.
We need to change this current pace
There's a need to change our current speed or direction.
We're speeding up too fast
We are progressing too rapidly, risking negative consequences.
Don't be a prick and you'll be okay
Advocating for kindness to avoid trouble.
Don't die on every hill and you'll live to see another day
Encouragement to avoid unnecessary conflicts for a better future.
How far did we stray
Questioning how far we've deviated from a positive path.
I get it you're afraid and confused. Well I am too
Understanding and relating to the fear and confusion of others.
But could you stop trying to kick that ladder down, from any fucking person not named you
Discouraging sabotage and negativity towards others.
We're all in the shit, that's the point they knew
Acknowledging that everyone is facing difficulties.
But all we have is ourselves and doing what we say we'll do
Emphasizing self-reliance and commitment to our words.
Don't be a prick and you'll be okay
Reiterating the importance of kindness for personal well-being.
Don't die on every hill and you'll live to see another day
Encouraging resilience by avoiding unnecessary battles.
How far did we stray
Reflecting on how far we have strayed from a positive course.
Don't be a prick and you'll be okay
Reiterating the importance of kindness for personal well-being.
Don't die on every hill and you'll live to see another day
Encouraging resilience by avoiding unnecessary battles.
How far did we stray
Continuing the reflection on how far we have deviated.
