Reflection
Breaking Chains: Unveiling the True Self Amidst Conformity
Lyrics
What's the point of following when you want to be different?
Questioning the purpose of conformity when the desire is to be unique.
You hold on to your old beliefs like it's some kind of sacrament
Clutching onto established beliefs as if they were sacred.
Deeply stuck in your ideas you fail to swim with the torrent
Being deeply entrenched in one's ideas, hindering adaptation to change.
This is the story of your life you're not living in this instant
Life portrayed as a story, emphasizing the lack of presence in the current moment.
You heard this story all before it still won't mean a thing
Previous exposure to a similar narrative doesn't impact understanding.
Stuck in silent limbo fears that you might be facing
Feeling trapped in a state of silence and fear of potential consequences.
Used, abused, forgettable the hand that feeds biting
Being used, abused, and easily forgotten, with ingratitude from those supported.
Asphyxiate in your beliefs your mind is controlling
Suffocating under the influence of one's beliefs, with the mind in control.
Is this the life that I deserve by living in this fear
Questioning whether the current life situation is deserved due to living in fear.
That violence could be the answer to those who disbelief
Considering violence as a response to those who doubt or oppose.
I am what you have made me the image of your sins
Self-identity shaped by the actions and influences of others, embodying their sins.
I'm praying for a god to answer if I was born for this
Seeking answers from a higher power about the purpose of existence.
I trade my game for a bag of hope I helplessly suppose
Exchanging personal pursuits for a glimmer of hope, despite feeling helpless.
That this is the best way for me the way to make it count
Believing that the current path is the best way to make a meaningful impact.
It's time to stand in the spotlight and get with the program
Embracing the spotlight and conforming to societal expectations.
These thoughts won't break these chains alone, you need to save yourself
Recognition that breaking free from mental chains requires personal initiative.
You're deafened to the chances that you could be so wrong
Unawareness of the possibility of being wrong, deaf to potential alternatives.
Being lost for all your life you found where you belong
Discovering a sense of belonging after being lost throughout life.
You lastingly convince yourself that this is for the best
Persistently convincing oneself that current circumstances are for the best.
That we are vessels on this road that these ways are correct
Viewing individuals as vessels on a predetermined path with correct ways.
Fed up with this cozy lane you need to make it count
Fed up with a comfortable but unfulfilling routine, emphasizing the need for change.
If we are already doomed there's no time to repent
Considering the urgency of change if the current situation is already doomed.
Is this the life that I deserve by living in this fear
Repetition of the theme of questioning whether the current life is deserved due to fear.
That violence could be the answer to those who disbelief
Reiterating the contemplation of violence as a response to disbelief.
I am what you have made me the image of your sins
Continuing to embody the image shaped by the actions and influences of others.
I'm praying for a god to answer if I was born for this
Repeating the plea for divine guidance in understanding one's purpose.
I trade my game for a bag of hope I helplessly suppose
Reiteration of exchanging personal pursuits for hope, accompanied by a sense of helplessness.
That this is the best way for me the way to make it count
Reaffirming the belief that the current path is the most impactful way.
Is this the life that I deserve by living in this fear
Recurrence of questioning whether the current life is deserved due to fear.
That violence could be the answer to those who disbelief
Restating the consideration of violence as a response to disbelief.
I am what you have made me the image of your sins
Reiterating the self-identity shaped by the actions and influences of others.
I'm praying for a god to answer if I was born for this
Repeating the plea for divine guidance in understanding one's purpose.
