Love to Hate
Life's Blessings and Blind Spots: Puppet Cell's Reflections on Gratitude and Discord
Lyrics
Take it in
Encouragement to absorb or accept something.
Saturate you mind with the all the bile you imbibe from your screen
Acknowledging the negative content consumed from screens and media.
Look at your skin
Reflecting on one's own identity or physical being.
And dislocate your self from all those heathens who don't share your beliefs.
Distancing oneself from those with different beliefs.
Ever thank your god your alive
Expressing gratitude for being alive and for family survival.
That your children survived
Recognition of life's positive aspects.
That your house has a roof
Gratefulness for shelter.
That you can find your own proof
Emphasis on personal validation and evidence-seeking.
You've got a horse in the race
Being involved or having a stake in a competitive situation.
They stepped down with grace
Appreciation for a graceful exit from a situation.
They didn't drop bombs from the sky
Contrast with not causing harm from above.
Didn't watch your family die
Avoiding witnessing the tragedy of family loss.
And we can't comprehend
Difficulty in understanding and appreciating the current positive state.
We've never had it this good and yet all we see is fires protests and pain
Despite prosperity, focus on negative aspects like protests and pain.
Plug me in!
Desire to be influenced or affected by external information.
Get it straight into my veins I don't care what is truth or spin
Indifference to distinguishing between truth and spin.
It's just two sides
Highlighting the duality or polarization of perspectives.
Of the same old coin the middle of the road's a cavernous void
Viewing moderation as an empty space.
The circus rolls on
Continuation of a chaotic situation.
Sticks and stones make dents
Small actions having an impact in a nonsensical environment.
In a chamber full of echoes with no common sense
Lack of common sense in a reverberating space.
You ever thank your god your alive
Repetition of gratitude for life and family.
That your children survived
Continued acknowledgment of positive elements.
That your house has a roof
Thankfulness for shelter.
That you can find your own proof
Emphasizing the importance of personal validation.
You've got a horse in the race
Involvement or investment in a competitive situation.
They stepped down with grace
Appreciation for a graceful exit from a situation.
They didn't drop bombs from the sky
Avoiding causing harm from above.
Didn't watch your family die
Steering clear of witnessing family tragedy.
Step right up and join the party.
Invitation to join a gathering or event.
We've got some people we love to hate
Identification of people disliked or targeted for hatred.
Yes they were all my brothers and sisters
Acknowledging a shared connection with disliked individuals.
Well they've joined the wrong team
Expressing disapproval for a change in allegiance.
So let 'em bleed
Encouragement to let disliked individuals suffer.
You ever thank your god your alive
Reiteration of gratitude for life and family.
That your children survived
Continued acknowledgment of positive elements.
That your house has a roof
Thankfulness for shelter.
That you can find your own proof
Emphasizing the importance of personal validation.
You've got a horse in the race
Involvement or investment in a competitive situation.
They stepped down with grace
Appreciation for a graceful exit from a situation.
They didn't drop bombs from the sky
Avoiding causing harm from above.
Didn't watch your family die
Steering clear of witnessing family tragedy.
