Everything You've Ever Been Taught
Breaking the Mold: Embrace Your Own Truth
Lyrics
Stare directly into the sun
Metaphorically challenge yourself or face adversity directly.
Don't care about anyone
Adopt an indifferent attitude toward others' opinions or concerns.
Live your life on the run
Live a fast-paced, nomadic lifestyle.
Because everything you've ever been taught is wrong
Questioning the validity of traditional teachings or beliefs.
Rub some salt in your wounds
Aggravate your own pain or distress.
Lock yourself in a room
Isolate yourself from the world.
Everyone is staring at you
Feeling self-conscious or observed by others.
And you should never play the fool
Don't act foolishly or naively.
Keep that thought to yourself
Keep your unconventional or controversial thoughts private.
Pull those teeth out your mouth
Expressing the need to stop speaking or censoring oneself.
Subsist on only meat and booze
Live recklessly or without regard for consequences.
Because everything you've ever been taught is true
Contrasting the preceding skepticism by affirming the truth in unconventional teachings or beliefs.
There is only one path
Believing in a singular way or method.
It's the one you find yourself
Discovering your own unique path in life.
So cover yourself in trash
Embrace unconventional or rejected aspects of yourself.
As long as you're doing what you want
Justify personal actions as long as they align with desires or preferences.
There is only one life
Advocating for self-determination and creation of one's own life.
It's the one you make for yourself
Emphasizing personal responsibility in shaping one's existence.
So be a light
Encouraging self-empowerment and sharing positivity with others.
And share your self-love with someone else
Encouraging self-care and spreading love and positivity to others.
Pick an apple from a tree
Engage in simple pleasures or actions.
Then go inside and drink some bleach
Illustrating self-destructive behavior or actions that contradict common sense.
This world has all you need
Asserting that the world provides everything one needs.
Haven't you heard?
Rhetorical question suggesting a different perspective on life.
This life is for you and me
Implying life is meant to be shared and experienced together.
