This Town
Unveiling the Struggles Within a Town's Soul
Lyrics
In this town you've got to see their light
In this town, it's essential to acknowledge their achievements.
In this town you've got help them fight
In this town, you must support and join them in their struggles.
In this town you've got to own their pain
In this town, you have to empathize with their hardships.
In this town you feel
In this town, emotions and experiences are intense.
In this town you batten down your doors
In this town, protect yourself and be cautious.
In this town you stand and defend your shores
In this town, defend your principles and territory.
In this town you better know you're sure
In this town, be confident and certain.
In this town you die
In this town, the consequences can be fatal.
You can parade in the shadow of mediocrity
You can choose to conform to average standards.
Chase the light of day with your fantasies
Pursue the light of success with your dreams.
Don't take this as a joke or even parody
Don't take life lightly or mock it as a parody.
In this town you're owned
In this town, individuality is subjugated.
You better know your friend and know your foe
Understand your allies and enemies.
You better test the water with your toe
Be cautious and test situations before committing.
You'd better realise one day you'll go
Realize that one day, life will end.
What was it really for?
Question the purpose of it all.
The time you have it just spins and spins
Time passes relentlessly, revealing its flaws.
From a faucet that reveals its sins
Life's flaws become apparent, leading to frustration.
You'll be angry when it all sinks in
Anger arises when the truth becomes clear.
This town took your soul
This town has taken away your essence or identity.
You can parade in the shadow of mediocrity
Similar to line 11, conforming to mediocrity is emphasized.
Chase the light of day with your fantasies
Continue pursuing your aspirations despite challenges.
Don't take this as a joke or even parody
Life is not a joke or parody; take it seriously.
In this town you're owned
Individuality is suppressed in this town.
If you let it own you you'll pay the price
If you let this town control you, there will be consequences.
It's hard to count the times or to suffice
It's challenging to quantify the sacrifices made.
The ones who've shone but whose souls have gone
People who achieved greatness but lost their essence.
In this town you're owned
In this town, your individuality is overshadowed.
There is a page of this book
This town is like a page in a book, containing various perspectives.
There are a number of angles you could look
Multiple viewpoints lead to a prolonged understanding.
It's surprising how long we took
Surprisingly, it took a while before reaching this current state.
Before it came to this
Before realizing the impact of the town on individuals.
So you parade in your sense of mediocrity
Similar to lines 11 and 26, emphasizing conformity and mediocrity.
Misuse the light of your fantasies
Misuse your dreams or aspirations for personal gain.
Don't notice your fate or even see
Ignore or overlook your destiny in this town.
In this town you're owned
Individuality is surrendered or dominated in this town.
