Black and White
Constant Divide: Reflections on Human Struggles
Lyrics
Our time's better than we had before
Reflecting on a better past
Our time's only filled with blood and war
Current times marked by conflict
We strive making progress every day
Striving for progress daily
Then fall just to throw it all away
Efforts leading to eventual failure
We give it all we've got
Giving maximum effort
Chalk up another loss
Recording another failure
We love, believe, we can achieve
Believing in love and achievement
But every time I close my eyes
Inner conflict when eyes are closed
We lie, we hate, procrastinate
Lies, hatred, and procrastination
The black and white constant divide
Perpetual division between black and white
Our time's getting easier each day
Time becoming easier but fading
Our time starts to slowly fade away
The passage of time slipping away
And when we do things right
Success leads to regression
We take steps back, the hole gets deeper
Progress accompanied by setbacks
Have fun, cause life's too short
Embracing life due to its brevity
Until we're left to fear the reaper
Awareness of mortality
We give it all we've got
Giving maximum effort despite losses
Chalk up another loss
Recording another failure
We love, believe, we can achieve
Believing in love and achievement
But every time I close my eyes
Inner conflict when eyes are closed
We lie, we hate, procrastinate
Lies, hatred, and procrastination
The black and white constant divide
Perpetual division between black and white
The scale of good and bad is tipping the wrong way
Moral balance shifting negatively
We are the predators, but also our own prey
Humanity both predator and prey
We lost the battle but we haven't lost the war
Losing battles but not the overall war
We must learn from mistakes we made before
Learning from past mistakes
We try not to give up
Persevering despite challenges
Why can't we just live up to all expectations we had
Failing to meet expectations
When bridges start falling
Symbolic collapse of connections
The devil is calling to lead us astray from this path
Temptation leading astray from the right path
We love, believe, we can achieve
Believing in love and achievement
But every time I close my eyes
Inner conflict when eyes are closed
We lie, we hate, procrastinate
Lies, hatred, and procrastination
The black and white constant divide
Perpetual division between black and white
The scale of good and bad is tipping the wrong way
Moral balance shifting negatively
We are the predators, but also our own prey
Humanity both predator and prey
We lost the battle but we haven't lost the war
Losing battles but not the overall war
We must learn from mistakes we made before
Learning from past mistakes
