Broken Bubble
Shattered Illusions: Unveiling the Reality Within the Broken Bubble
Lyrics
So you noticed that your city changed
Recognition of the city undergoing a transformation
The old familiar roads now seem so strange
The familiar roads now feel unfamiliar
Can you believe that there's paint on the walls
A realization that there is graffiti on the walls
Kids are murdered in the high school halls
A grim acknowledgment of violence in high school
Wake up kid and stop your whining
An urging to wake up and stop complaining
Every silver cloud has a black lining
Emphasizing the negative aspects in seemingly positive situations
The word hasn't changed
Asserting that the world itself hasn't changed
It just broke your bubble
The realization that one's bubble of perception is shattered
Now you see you can't hide from trouble
Acknowledging that troubles cannot be avoided
You were raised in the suburbs
Being brought up in a suburban environment
Mom and Dad gave you the best
Parents providing the best upbringing
The referee has left the field
Metaphorically, the authority figure has left
And you're all alone to face this test
Facing challenges alone
Do you have the strength
Questioning personal strength
To maintain your precious values
The challenge to uphold cherished values
Are you in control of your own fate
Contemplating control over one's destiny
Or will you become one of those guys
Potential risk of becoming what was once despised
You used to hate
Reflecting on past prejudices
Sooner or later everyone wants the best
Desire for the best in life shared by everyone
And your private world becomes like all the rest
Realization that personal life becomes ordinary
Nothing is worse it's just touching you
Nothing worse than the realization affecting oneself
For the first time you see the world zoo
Experiencing the world for the first time without illusions
It's not a question of staying alive
Survival is not the question; it's about moral choices
You don't have to fuck over others to survive
Rejecting the idea of harming others for survival
The question is what's good enough
Contemplating what is considered 'good enough'
How much do you need to stop being tough?
Questioning the necessity of toughness in life
