Lyrics
The phoenix, no longer a myth
The phoenix, once considered mythical, is now a reality.
So strike a match and watch it burn
Symbolic call to ignite a destructive process and observe the consequences.
Our destination's rigor mortise
Our destination is a state of stiffness or paralysis, possibly reflecting societal decay.
'Cause nobody listens and nobody learns
Expresses frustration with a lack of attention and learning in society.
And your world rejects my kind
Feelings of rejection from society due to being different.
And those words have lost their touch
Words that once had impact are now ineffective or ignored.
And this place has lost its mind
The environment has become chaotic or irrational.
So now I wanna burn it up
Desire to destroy the current state of affairs.
Humility, is based on trust
Humility is built on trust, contrasting with the prevailing ignorance and arrogance.
But ignorance and arrogance rule the grounds
Ignorance and arrogance dominate, leading to negative consequences.
So ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Reference to mortality, emphasizing the inevitability of destruction.
And now I wanna burn this whole place down
Strong desire to burn down the entire place due to dissatisfaction.
Leashed, cuffed, locked and hooked
Feeling restrained, confined, and controlled.
Blow it down, tear it down, burn it down
Advocacy for dismantling and destroying oppressive structures.
Blackmail come take it to a whole new level
Blackmail is elevated to an extreme level, expressing intense hostility.
Motherfucker, I can't wait till I can watch you drown
Strong resentment, anticipating satisfaction in witnessing someone's downfall.
And you place our trust in you
Society is urged to trust, but trust is broken, leading to blame.
Reassure us that we're not to blame
An appeal for reassurance that shifts blame away, but it backfires.
But the tables turn and we're the first to burn
The situation reverses, and those who trusted are the first to suffer.
Now I could never look at you the same
A personal transformation in perspective towards someone due to betrayal.
So take your word and shove it
Rejecting someone's promises or assurances forcefully.
Come take your deal and shove it
Rejecting a deal or agreement emphatically.
Just take the lie and shove it
Refusing to accept falsehood or deception.
I know what you really are
Claiming to see through someone's true nature.
The school in which we learn
The educational system is metaphorically portrayed as a destructive force.
Is the fire in which we'll burn
Emphasizing that the process of learning itself leads to destruction.
The school in which we learn
Reiteration of the destructive nature of the educational system.
Is the fire in which we will burn
Reinforces the idea that the process of learning is a path towards inevitable ruin.
