Lyrics

For so long we endure

Enduring challenges for an extended period

Struggling to secure

Facing difficulties to establish a stable position

Our place in society

Striving for a place in societal structures

Ignorance is bliss

Being unaware is comforting

We're falling down the abyss

Falling into a deep, threatening situation

Without even noticing

Unaware of the impending danger

Wake up

Calling for attention and realization

There's a system to be fed

Systemic issues need attention

You need to educate yourself

Emphasizing the importance of self-education

Propaganda in your head

Warning about the influence of propaganda

Give it some more

Encouraging further action

What are you stalling for?

Questioning the delay or hesitation

That's not the way to move up

Rejecting an ineffective approach to progress

You need to keep up with the flock

Stressing the need to conform and stay informed

Absent is our minds

Our minds are absent or distracted

We're happy you and I

Content with the current situation

Things will turn out fine

Belief that things will work out positively

You'll see

Assurance in a positive outcome

Don't think

Discouraging critical thinking

It will only make you sink

Overthinking leads to negative consequences

You will pick the shortest straw

Warning of potential unfavorable outcomes

Happiness is not assured

No guarantee of continuous happiness

Give it some more

Encouraging continued effort

What are you stalling for?

Questioning the reason for delay

That's not the way to move up

Reiterating the need for effective action

It is a long way to the top

Success requires persistent effort

Lights out

Symbolic representation of darkness or failure

You have lost the will to speak

Losing the ability to express oneself

This is your maker in all his deformity

The creator in a distorted form

Lights out

Symbolic representation of darkness or failure (repeated)

You have lost the will to speak

Reiteration of losing the ability to speak (repeated)

You shall caress the leash

Metaphorically submitting to control or authority

Or your existence will cease to be

Choice between conformity or non-existence

Absent is our minds

Our minds are absent or distracted (repeated)

We're happy you and I

Content with the current situation (repeated)

Things will turn out fine

Belief that things will work out positively (repeated)

You'll see

Assurance in a positive outcome (repeated)

Absent is our minds

Our minds are absent or distracted (repeated)

We're happy you and I

Content with the current situation (repeated)

Things will turn out fine

Belief that things will work out positively (repeated)

You'll see

Reiteration of assurance in a positive outcome (repeated)
