Real Enemy
Unveiling the Maze: Only Crime's 'Real Enemy' Echoes a Journey of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
Once upon a time I believed I could change the world but I was wrong
Expressing disillusionment with the belief in the ability to change the world.
Finding solace in the vitriol and the anti-social context for so long
Finding comfort in negativity and anti-social surroundings for an extended period.
Cursed to keep gazing backward
Feeling trapped in a cycle of dwelling on the past.
And never never look ahead
Refusing to look forward and being stuck in a negative mindset.
A pitchfork of a destination
Describing a challenging and harsh journey with an uncertain destination.
Submerged in a sea of red
Immersed in a situation filled with danger or conflict, symbolized by a sea of red.
These nightmares never go away
Experiencing persistent nightmares that linger.
Still bound by chains of self decay
Still struggling with self-destructive tendencies and limitations.
To simply saturate and bleed
Expressing the need to release and drain the potential for new beginnings.
Out the seeds of a new address
Attempting to sow the seeds of a different future.
We're charged with the destruction of those static molds
Taking responsibility for breaking away from established norms and traditions.
We choose to build a union from the old
Choosing to form a connection based on past experiences.
I feel my heart grow cold
Feeling emotionally detached and indifferent.
To my surprise I fatalize
Surprised by self-sabotaging actions and an inability to preserve integrity.
And fail to soil the merchandise
Failing to tarnish or compromise personal values and principles.
We've swept away all the faintest hooks
Removing all subtle influences from the future.
From the grasp of tomorrows fold
Freeing oneself from the grip of uncertain and challenging times ahead.
Outside your windows down your lonely broken streets
Describing a desolate and broken urban environment outside windows.
Cross the paths with the sterile minions of anachronistic beats
Encountering lifeless followers of outdated rhythms in the streets.
So cleanse my mind of discontent
Seeking relief from dissatisfaction and discontent in the mind.
Declare all the lines as heaven sent
Attributing all experiences to a divine or profound influence.
Weeding out the sickness I can feel
Eliminating negativity and unhealthy influences.
Tell me all night how it can't be real
Questioning the reality of a situation despite reassurances.
Spend all night caring only for the words
Investing time and energy in caring for words or opinions.
Blame it on the new kids chewing on their nerves
Blaming problems on inexperienced individuals.
Forget about the piss drunks putting out the fires
Ignoring the destructive actions of those causing problems.
Sucking on the nacro sending out the wires
Engaging in harmful behaviors and spreading negative influences.
Some thing I won't forget
Highlighting the enduring impact of certain experiences.
Cry - it's over
Expressing emotional pain and the finality of a situation.
Die - it's over
Embracing an end to a difficult situation.
Flames reach out and lick my face
Feeling the heat of intense challenges and experiences.
I'm falling some days are grace
Finding solace in the occasional moments of grace amidst challenges.
Cry out steal signs
Expressing a need to vocalize and reveal hidden truths.
Burning they take it to the nines
Conveying the intensity of challenges reaching their peak.
