Paradigms
Breaking Toxic Paradigms: A Journey of Struggle
Lyrics
Every bully that had maimed you, bled you dry
Reflecting on past experiences of being bullied, causing emotional and physical harm.
And the blinkered say that boys will be boys, and they're just kids being sly
Critiquing the dismissive attitude towards harmful behavior by labeling it as typical boyhood mischief.
And they wonder why some die
Expressing bewilderment at the consequences of such behavior, leading to tragedy.
Every image of perfection starts a goldmine
Highlighting the commercial exploitation of idealized images, which generates profit.
They gave you bulimia, those marketing masterminds
Accusing marketing strategies of promoting harmful practices, like inducing bulimia for profit.
Happens all the time, all the time
Emphasizing the recurrence of such harmful actions in society.
And it breaks you up
Reiterating the emotional toll over time due to these experiences.
Over time
-And it breaks you up
-Over time
-Every moment in this dark world, I'm terrified
Expressing fear and discomfort in the challenging aspects of life.
Reaching for a light in the gauntlet of toxic paradigms
Seeking positivity in a world filled with harmful societal norms.
Sometimes I wanna die, sometimes
Acknowledging moments of despair and contemplation of suicide.
Every headline, they betray you and the little guy
Criticizing media headlines for betrayal and favoring powerful entities over the common person.
But what would you expect from oligarchs and pedophiles
Expressing distrust and frustration with those in power, using strong terms.
Makes you wonder why you even try
Questioning the motivation to continue in a world filled with injustice.
And it breaks you up
Repeating the emotional breakdown over time, emphasizing its cumulative effect.
Over time
-And it breaks you up
-Over time
-And it breaks you up
Intensifying the emotional impact, using repetition to emphasize the breaking down process.
Breaks you up
-Breaks you up
-No one should feel like this
Stressing that nobody should endure such emotional pain.
No one should feel like this
-No one should feel like this
-And it breaks you up
Repeating the breaking down process, indicating its pervasive and relentless nature.
Breaks you up
-Breaks you up
-And it breaks you up
-Over time
Reiterating the emotional toll over time and the need for change.
And it breaks you up
-Over time
