Held Down
Unveiling Life's Paradox: Held Down by Realities and Illusions
Lyrics
HEY
Expressing attention or calling out
The line we carve from reality
The boundary we create between reality and perception
Is the difference between you and me
Highlighting the differences between individuals
What's real what's fake? could it be mistake or human vanity
Questioning the distinction between real and fake, attributing it to potential mistakes or human vanity
I don't know for sure but if there's a cure, there's a price to meet
Uncertainty about the existence of a cure and the associated price
Well I can't see in front of me
Difficulty in foreseeing the future
If there's a light then its hard to see
The challenge of finding clarity or meaning
And if not then its fine with me while I'm held down
Acceptance of the current situation or constraints
Static entertainment frozen treats
Describing a state of passive and unchanging entertainment
I don't care if its normal best make it cheap
Preference for things that are normal and inexpensive
Culture slaughter and cancer in the air
Reference to societal issues such as culture degradation and environmental pollution
If no one gives a fuck then I don't care
Indifference if others don't care about these issues
Well it's nice to know the know
Expressing comfort in knowing certain information
With pain comes chance to grow
Recognizing that growth often comes from pain
So best go on away from the flow while I'm held down
Choosing to move away from negativity or obstacles
The gestures nice but no one cares
Acknowledging that gestures may go unnoticed
They're living life just to compare
People living their lives for the purpose of comparison
The pretty smile on your troubled face till the day you meet that lone embrace
The contradiction of a pleasant appearance concealing inner troubles
Who really knows if it all means well
Questioning the true intentions or outcomes of actions
Are we closer to heaven or are we closer to hell?
Reflecting on whether the world is heading towards heaven or hell
Or is perception all to blame we're not all the same
Considering perception as a factor in societal differences
Paradox unmanned
Highlighting a paradox without clear direction
In sanity inflamed
Noting the presence of insanity without control
While I'm held down
Reiterating the feeling of being restrained or held down
Static entertainment frozen treats
Repetition of static entertainment but with a preference for order
I don't care if it's brutal better keep it neat
Indifference to brutality as long as it is organized
Culture slaughter and ashes in the air
Reiteration of cultural decay and the presence of ashes in the air
If no one gives a fuck then I don't care
Continued indifference to societal apathy
The gestures nice but no one cares
Reiteration that gestures may go unnoticed
They're living life just to compare
Emphasis on a life driven by comparison
The pretty smile on your troubled face till the day you meet that lone embrace
Repetition of the contradiction between appearance and internal struggles
Who really knows if it all means well
Questioning the true meaning or goodness of actions
Are we closer to heaven or are we closer to hell?
Pondering the direction of the world towards positive or negative outcomes
Or is perception all to blame we're not all the same
Attributing societal differences to perception and individuality
Paradox unmanned
Reiteration of a paradox without clear direction
In sanity inflamed
Highlighting the presence of uncontrolled insanity
While I'm held down
Final emphasis on feeling restrained or held down
