Broken Design
Broken Design: A Cry for Escape
Lyrics
Stay back as I walk into the room
Entering cautiously, apprehensive about potential danger
I fear the ceilings caving in
Feeling an overwhelming sense of impending collapse or failure
Show of hands does a sense of danger loom
Asking if others also sense a looming threat or risk
I turned my phone off to ignore it
Ignoring incoming calls/messages, attempting to avoid something
Can you withstand to hold your head up high
Enduring difficulties while maintaining self-esteem
After learning you moved in vein
Realizing efforts have been futile or ineffective
My bad are we saying thats a lie
Questioning if denying responsibility is acceptable
The future is a vile place
Viewing the future as unpleasant or morally reprehensible
Take me out of this place
Desiring to leave the current situation
I feel like I am losing my mind
Feeling mentally unstable or confused
Take me so far away
Yearning to be taken far away from the current circumstances
The future is a broken design
Expressing a belief that the future is flawed or malfunctioning
Tread light if you're trying to escape
Warning to be cautious if attempting an escape
The letters trace your steps in the night
Traces of communication revealing movements or actions in darkness
Re-write your favourite getaway
Recreating a preferred escape or retreat
If you breathe in the air you could die
Warning about the potential lethality of the surrounding environment
So what have you bought the ball and chain
Questioning the reason behind acquiring a burdensome attachment
You'll need it if what they are saying is right
Suggesting the necessity of an attachment if rumors are true
If they've lied you'll need it anyway
Stating the necessity of the attachment regardless of the truth
They'll never go back on their pride
Asserting the unyielding nature of someone's pride
Take me out of this place
Reiterating the desire to escape the current situation
I feel like I am losing my mind
Feeling mentally unstable or confused (repeated)
Help I'm falling away
Urgent plea for help, feeling distant or disconnected from oneself
The words I'm being sold are not mine
Displeased with the information or ideas being presented
Take me out of this place
Desiring to leave the current situation (repeated)
How are we regressing in time
Expressing confusion or frustration regarding regression in time
Take me so far away
Yearning to be taken far away from the current circumstances (repeated)
The future is a broken design
Reiterating the belief that the future is flawed or malfunctioning (repeated)
Oh take me to outer space
Expressing a desire to escape to outer space as a metaphor for escape
If only you'd see the futures just a day away
Implying that the future is close and unpredictable
Oh take me to outer space
Continued desire to escape to outer space, regret over the inability to foresee consequences
If only you'd see your vision has destroyed our ways
Realization that one's vision or perspective has negatively impacted society
Take me out of this place
Desiring to leave the current situation (repeated)
I feel like I am losing my mind
Feeling mentally unstable or confused (repeated)
Take me so far away
Yearning to be taken far away from the current circumstances (repeated)
The future is a broken design
Reiterating the belief that the future is flawed or malfunctioning (repeated)
The future is a broken design
Reaffirmation that the future is flawed or malfunctioning (repeated)
The future is a broken design
