Lyrics
Do you believe in the words you preach
Questioning the sincerity of one's beliefs and preaching.
Or are you sick to your stomach with all that you see
Expressing disgust or discomfort with the current state of affairs.
You know you're just like me
Highlighting a commonality between the speaker and the listener.
Waiting to be freed from a life of selfish misery
Desire to break free from a self-centered and unhappy life.
I found a new way to die
Discovery of a new, possibly destructive, way of living.
I'm burning through the memories of better times
Burning through memories of better times, possibly regret.
I've wasted all of my life
Regret over wasted time and opportunities.
Waiting for the chance to be a martyr of apathy
Waiting for a chance to be a symbol of indifference.
You say an eye for an eye
Rejecting the notion of retaliation as it leads to collective harm.
Makes us all blind
Emphasizing the negative consequences of eye-for-an-eye mentality.
But you're cutting teeth on borrowed time
Criticizing someone for taking advantage of limited time.
You have fallen to the human condition
Fallen into the flaws and struggles of being human.
Where they prey upon the weak
Observing the exploitation of the vulnerable by others.
Just like 1984 twisting tongues in newspeak
Reference to George Orwell's "1984" and manipulation of language.
You are twisted like tyrants all you ever want is more
Critique of insatiable desires resembling tyrants.
Satisfaction never comes when you're living like a spore
True satisfaction is elusive when living selfishly.
I found a new way to die
Repetition of discovering a destructive way of living.
I'm burning through the memories of better times
Revisiting and emphasizing the burning of memories.
I've wasted all of my life
Reiterating regret over a wasted life.
Waiting for the chance to be a martyr with a new way to die
Desire to be a symbol of indifference with a new perspective on death.
And I've wasted, wasted all
Emphasizing the extent of time wasted.
I found a new way to die
Repetition of finding a destructive way of living.
A new way, a new way to die
Reiteration of the discovery of a new perspective on death.
I'm a cynic a fake a burden to erase
Acknowledging personal flaws and the desire to overcome them.
And I'm scared of death
Admitting fear of death but refusing to succumb to a negative mindset.
But I'll never catch your curse
Commitment to avoiding the negative influences of others.
Spore breath
Reference to "spore breath," suggesting resilience and survival.
I'm a cynic a fake a burden to erase
Repetition of acknowledging personal flaws and fear of death.
And I'm scared of death
Reiteration of commitment to avoiding negative influences.
But I'll never catch your curse
Final declaration of resisting a negative outlook on life.
