Trial and Error
Trials of Society: A Musical Rebuke
Lyrics
Well, I know no one's listening
Expressing a sense of isolation or being unheard.
But I've got to get a little something off my chest, off my chest
Feeling the need to share something important or burdensome.
I'm sick of seeing turning heads
Frustration with people avoiding reality or ignoring issues.
There's nothing close to normal about this, about this
Highlighting the abnormality of the situation.
We've seen it time and time again
Observation of recurring patterns in leadership.
Presidents and congressmen
Reference to political figures who often repeat mistakes.
Not this time, we said not this time
A declaration of resistance, refusing to accept the status quo.
But here we are beside ourselves
Expressing disappointment or disbelief in the current situation.
Oh man, ain't that something else?
A sarcastic remark, emphasizing the unexpectedness of the situation.
No one drew the line, no one drew the line
Commenting on the lack of clear boundaries or consequences.
So I just wanna say, "fuck you" in a million different ways
An explicit expression of frustration and defiance.
Cause no one ever learns from trial and error these days
Criticism of the common failure to learn from mistakes.
You're gonna sleep in the beds that you've made
Conveying the idea of facing consequences for one's actions.
Cause no one ever learns from trial and error these days
Reiterating the theme of neglecting lessons from trial and error.
You know damn well who you are
Directing the message towards a specific individual or group.
I'm not sure how it got this far
Expressing confusion about how the situation escalated.
I've gotta know, yeah, I've gotta know
Seeking understanding or clarification.
So close your eyes and turn around
Suggesting a turning point or a need to look away from the truth.
As the bar gets lowered down
Describing a decline or lowering of standards.
Deep below what we used to know
Referring to a depth beyond the familiar or expected.
No, it's not alright (No, it's not alright)
Expressing dissatisfaction or disagreement with the current state.
No, it's not okay (No, it's not okay)
Emphasizing the severity of the situation, not being acceptable.
There's not a hard enough drug
Exploring the inadequacy of coping mechanisms, even substances.
That can take the collective pain away
Highlighting the persistent collective pain that cannot be alleviated.
You're gonna point the finger
Anticipating the act of blaming or assigning responsibility.
Project the blame (Project the blame)
Commenting on the tendency to shift blame onto others.
There's not a hard enough drug
Reiterating the ineffectiveness of substances in numbing collective pain.
That can take the collective pain away
Emphasizing the persistent nature of shared pain despite attempts to escape.
