Lyrics
This is a fall from grace
A situation of losing favor or prestige
Can't bear the aftertaste
Unable to tolerate the unpleasant aftereffects
As you swallow all your pride, are you satisfied?
Swallowing one's pride and questioning if it brings satisfaction
Are you satisfied?
Repeating the inquiry about satisfaction
Every day, like a broken record
Experiencing repetitive, monotonous occurrences
Every night is a pointless prayer for change
Nightly prayers for change seem futile
No reprieve
No relief or respite
No peace, no release for your middle class rage
Feeling discontentment and anger despite middle-class status
Everybody wants to sell you something
Everyone aiming to sell something to you
Everybody wants a piece of your mind
People seeking your opinions or thoughts
Bite your tongue and let the crowd speak for you
Suppressing personal views and letting the crowd speak
Head like a hole and a heart like a landmine
Having a defensive and explosive nature (emotionally)
(Hey, hey) Is it any wonder that we end up this way?
Questioning the inevitability of ending up in a certain way
(Hey, hey) Born with a crisis of identity
Born into a constant struggle with one's identity
(Hey, hey) Is it any wonder that this happens all the time?
Expressing a repeated occurrence of a particular situation
Got a head like a hole and a heart like a landmine
Having a closed-off, defensive mentality
Time hits like a freight train
Time passing forcefully, unable to compensate for lost moments
No paycheck can pay back the lost years spent ruminating
No amount of money can recover time spent in deep thought
Just pain to be gained from your common sense fears
Pain is the only result of sensible fears
Everybody's wasting away here
Everyone is wasting away in this situation
Watch us bloom and decay
Witnessing both growth and decline
Cast to the side
Being disregarded or ignored
No one heard you choking as you swallowed your pride
No one noticed the struggle while swallowing pride
You say you're happy, but are you satisfied?
Claiming happiness but questioning satisfaction
No restitution, until you understand
No compensation until understanding the harsh reality
This world that left you cold will feed you shit til you bite the fucking hand
A harsh world will continue mistreating until resistance
So tell me where it hurts, if it hurts to be you
Asking where the pain resides in being oneself
If it hurts to be used and abused
Experiencing pain from being manipulated and used
If you know where you don't want to be, all the heavy hearted, sing this with me
Inviting those who feel burdened to join in solidarity
(Hey, hey) Is it any wonder that we end up this way?
Reflecting on the pattern of ending up in a certain manner
(Hey, hey) Born with a crisis of identity
Constantly grappling with an identity crisis from birth
(Hey, hey) Is it any wonder that this happens every day?
Questioning the regular occurrence of a negative situation
Are we cursed and condemned to a life of misery?
Wondering if a life of misery is inevitable and predestined
So tell me where it hurts, if it hurts to be you
Inquiring about the source of pain in being oneself
If it hurts to be used and abused
Feeling the pain of being manipulated and mistreated
If you know where you don't want to be, all the heavy hearted, sing this with me
Inviting those who understand their undesired situation to join together
(Hey, hey) all the heavy hearted sing this with me
Encouraging solidarity among those weighed down by burdens
(Hey, hey) cursed and condemned to a life of misery
Feeling trapped in a life of suffering and misery
