Drifting Towards Violence
Echoes of Turmoil: Drifting Towards a Violent Reality
Lyrics
Dear mother. Dear father.
Expressing a connection to both parents
Can you answer some questions
Seeking answers from parents
They're stealing my friends
Friends being taken away, possibly metaphorical
Like they broke all my toys
Loss of friends compared to broken toys
Taking my freedom. Crushing my hope.
Experiencing loss of freedom and crushed hope
I asked for some string
Request for something simple
And they gave me some rope
Received something potentially harmful
and now I'm drifting towards violence
Indication of moving towards violent thoughts
Drifting towards violence again
Reiterating the drift towards violence
Drifting towards violence
Emphasizing the movement towards violence
Drifting towards violence
Repetition of the theme of violence
Dear mother. Dear father
Reconnecting with parents
Can you answer some questions
Repetition of seeking answers from parents
I've tried to find freedom
Attempt to find freedom
And I've tried to find truth
Struggling to find truth
But I cannot see reason
Facing a lack of reason
I cannot see logic
Struggling with illogical situations
And I cannot break away
Unable to break away from youthful turmoil
From the turmoil of my youth
Stuck in the difficulties of youth
And now I'm drifting towards violence
Continuation of the drift towards violence
Drifting towards violence again
Reiteration of the movement towards violence
Drifting towards violence
Emphasizing the direction towards violence
Drifting towards violence
Continued emphasis on the theme of violence
Dear mother. Dear father
Reconnecting with parents again
Many thanks for your present
Expressing gratitude for a gift
Though I couldn't but resent
Feeling resentment despite gratitude
When I removed the wrapping
Unhappy with the received gift
It wasn't what I wanted
Disappointment in the content of the gift
Though he worked
Someone's effort to distract from difficulties
For a short time
Temporary relief from routine work
To take my mind away
Effort to shift focus away from problems
From the production line
Returning to parents for answers
Dear mother. Dear father
Repeating the call for parental guidance
Can you answer some questions
Reiterating the quest for answers
I've tried to find reason
Continued search for reason
And I've tried to find truth
Persistent pursuit of truth
But I cannot see reason
Struggling with a lack of reason
I cannot see logic
Facing challenges of illogical situations
And I cannot break away
Unable to break away from youthful turmoil again
From the turmoil of my youth
Reiteration of being trapped in youth's difficulties
And now I'm
Transition to a realization or consequence
Drifting towards violence
Reiterating the drift towards violence
Drifting towards violence again
Continued emphasis on the movement towards violence
Drifting towards violence
Emphasizing the direction towards violence
Drifting towards violence
Repetition of the theme of drifting towards violence
