Broken Window
Unveiling the Dark Tapestry: Broken Window by Saving Vice
Lyrics
Do you know all the damage that you've done
Expressing awareness of the damage caused by someone.
Do you know all the consequence of your ignorance
Highlighting the consequences resulting from ignorance.
Do you
Prompting a question about understanding the situation.
I wouldn't wish this world on anyone
Expressing a negative view of the world and its impact.
I can't just sit back and watch the absurdity, stupidity, the utter lack of sympathy
Rejecting passivity in the face of absurdity, stupidity, and lack of sympathy.
The evil despair. How could we be prepared
Reflecting on the challenge of facing evil and despair.
Follow the tears on the trail, for they may lead your way back
Suggesting following a path marked by tears to find a way back.
So you can see all they cut to keep their image intact
Pointing out efforts to maintain a false image.
Critics to martyrs mixing judgement and honor
Describing a blend of critics and martyrs with conflicting values.
The fear that you spread leaving them dead in the water
Addressing the fear spread by someone, leaving others in a difficult situation.
They poison what what we eat
Accusing others of poisoning the environment.
They soil what we drink
Accusing others of contaminating essential resources.
They hate who you were born to be in the name of a book that they don't even read
Criticizing the hatred directed at individuals based on their identity.
Thievery committed in the highest degree
Describing a severe form of theft committed by those in power.
Stealing from the ones that you threw out in the street
Highlighting the theft from vulnerable individuals discarded in the street.
A vision so great and a future so grand
Contrasting an initially promising vision with a stagnant reality.
Now watch as our wheels just spin in the sand
Observing the stagnation and lack of progress.
You can cry, you can fight. Believe what you want
Recognizing the options of crying, fighting, or denial.
Lie through your teeth, but the truth is the truth whether you like it or not
Emphasizing the inevitability of truth, regardless of personal beliefs.
And now the window has shifted
Noting a shift or change in perspective.
They're burning the whole world up into a flame
Describing a destructive process engulfing the world.
There is no course correction
Stating that there is no way to correct the course.
And now the window has broken our species' a virus
Associating a broken window with the notion that the human race is a virus.
Are we all the same?
Posing a question about human equality.
There is no course correction
Reiterating the absence of a course correction.
I wouldn't wish this world on anyone
Reiterating the negative view of the world.
I can't sit just back and watch the absurdity, stupidity, the utter lack of sympathy
Repeating the rejection of passivity in the face of negative elements.
The evil despair. We couldn't be prepared
Reiterating the challenge of facing evil and despair.
Shatter the horizon, rip the earth from the sky
Using metaphorical language to express a disruptive force.
Build up your walls, now watch what you fear can fly
Advising to build defenses against fears that may become real threats.
I see a future destroyed, laid out in plain sight
Observing a future destroyed and ignored by those at the end of their lives.
Ignored by the ones at the end of their lives
Describing a scorched earth scenario.
Now we walk a scorched earth
Reiterating the destructive aftermath.
And now the window has shifted
Repeating the idea of a shifted perspective.
They're burning the whole world up into a flame
Reiterating the destructive process consuming the world.
There is no course correction
Reiterating the absence of a course correction.
And now the window has broken our species' a virus
Repeating the association of a broken window with the idea of the human race as a virus.
Are we all the same?
Repeating the question about human equality.
There is no course correction
Reiterating the absence of a course correction.
Follow the tears on the trail, for they may lead your way back
Suggesting a way to find the truth hidden behind a façade.
So you can see all they cut to keep their image intact
Repeating the idea of efforts to maintain a false image.
Critics to martyrs mixing judgement and honor
Reiterating the combination of critics and martyrs with conflicting values.
The fear that you spread leaving them dead in the water
Highlighting the fear spread by someone, leading to dire consequences.
