Lyrics
The narrow road is all I know
The speaker is familiar with the challenging and less-traveled path.
No map to guide us
There is no clear guidance or predefined route for the journey.
No compass beside us
They lack a compass, suggesting a lack of direction or assistance.
The narrow road
Reiteration of being on the narrow road, emphasizing difficulty.
The great unknown
Refers to the challenging and uncertain nature of the journey.
The grater sacrifice grants the greatest gift in life
Suggests that significant sacrifices lead to valuable life gifts.
No more assembly lines of aspirations connecting carbon copy clones
Rejecting conformity, avoiding a life of uniformity and imitation.
Every artifact is marching like commodities of flesh and bone
Individuals are portrayed as commodities in a mechanized world.
The consistency of our censored thoughts
Conformist thoughts are consistently suppressed.
Tread a static course
Life follows a predictable and unchanging path.
Ordinary people: your outlook is lethal
Ordinary people are dangerous due to their conformist mindset.
Chiseling away imperfections
Striving for perfection by eliminating imperfections.
Until rough edges are same and smooth
Continuing until everything becomes uniformly polished.
The tools have now become too blunt
The tools for improvement are now ineffective.
To break any of the rules
Rules are so entrenched that they cannot be broken.
Post-modern minds bleached blank and clean
Modern minds are devoid of originality and are blank.
Drawing pixelated lines
Creating artificial and pixelated divisions.
In duller shades that my eyes have ever seen
Using duller shades metaphorically for a monotonous perspective.
The narrow road is all I know
Repetition of the familiarity with the difficult path.
No map to guide us
Highlighting the absence of a clear guide once again.
No compass beside us
Emphasizing the lack of assistance or direction.
The narrow road
Reiteration of being on the narrow road, underlining difficulty.
The great unknown
Reaffirming the challenging and uncertain nature of the journey.
The grater sacrifice grants the greatest gift in life
Reiterating the idea that great sacrifices lead to valuable gifts.
No more assembly lines of aspirations connecting carbon copy clones
Rejecting the idea of following predetermined paths.
Every artifact is marching like commodities of flesh and bone
Portraying individuals as marching commodities, lacking individuality.
Post-modern minds bleached blank and clean
Reiteration of the idea that modern minds lack originality.
Drawing pixelated lines
Continuing the metaphor of creating artificial divisions.
In duller shades that my eyes have ever seen
Emphasizing the monotonous and uninspiring nature of modern perspectives.
We're not defined by a blueprint if we re-write the plans
Rejecting the notion of being defined by predetermined plans.
So will you paint paradise with the stroke of an artist's hand?
Promoting the idea of creating a personalized and artistic version of paradise.
