The Truth
Challenging Dogma: Unveiling the Message in Seven Days of Samsara's 'The Truth'
Lyrics
Question the answers that they've forced down your throat for so fucking long.
Challenging the imposed beliefs that have been forcefully accepted for a long time.
Were not in Kansas anymore.
We're not in a familiar or comfortable situation anymore.
This problems too great to be ignored.
There's a significant issue that cannot be overlooked.
Bring it back to the monkey trial.
Referencing the Scopes Monkey Trial, highlighting a clash between evolution and creationism.
You'll make monkeys out of us all.
Suggesting that the actions of some individuals can make fools or victims of everyone.
What about the children? think about the children?
Raising the common concern for the welfare of children, possibly sarcastically.
I know you've said that before.
Recognizing a repeated statement or argument.
You're the proof that some of us have evolved.
Acknowledging someone as evidence that human evolution has occurred.
You can't stop this wind from blowing.
Unable to prevent change or progress.
You can't stop this rain from falling.
Change or natural occurrences cannot be stopped.
You can't stop this sun from rising.
The inevitable will continue to happen.
Never stop attacking.
Encouragement to persist in confronting challenges or opposition.
An attack on everything you stand for.
Attacking the values or principles one upholds.
An attack on all that you believe.
Challenging beliefs and convictions.
An attack for all those who will suffer.
Highlighting the impact on those who will suffer due to these conflicts.
An attack against the knowledge thief.
An attack against those who withhold or distort knowledge.
I'm not burning a cross.
Clarification that there's no intention of targeting a specific group or ideology.
Kansas no longer requires the teaching of evolution in school.
Referencing the state's decision not to mandate teaching evolution in schools.
Teachers may still choose to teach it,
Teachers still have the choice to teach evolution despite the official stance.
But I guess creationism is the official stance of the state.
Recognizing the official preference for creationism in Kansas.
The first time we ever played this song live an older man walked out of the room
Recalling an incident when the song was performed live and someone reacted negatively to its message.
In disgust as I explained the lyrics.
Describing the individual's disgust at the explanation of the song's lyrics.
I think he took it as an attack on Christianity or people who believe in creationism, it isn't.
Clarification that the song isn't intended as an attack on Christianity or creationism believers.
I just believe that the state of Kansas and the kids who are being raised there are being cheated.
Belief that the educational system in Kansas deprives children of proper education and understanding.
