Currency
Unraveling the Economic Paradox: The Black Angels' Reflection on Currency and Human Worth
Lyrics
Currency carry me everyone is held hostage
Currency symbolizes control and influence; everyone is under its power.
Currency means nothing
Currency has no intrinsic value or meaning.
How are they to spend us next
Questioning how individuals will be manipulated or exploited in the future.
Do you want a stake in us?
Asking if others want to have a share or influence in the speaker's life or decisions.
How you have a stake in us
Reflecting on how others already have an influence or stake in the speaker's life.
One day it'll all be over
Anticipating the eventual end of everything.
One day it'll all be gone
Expressing the inevitability of the disappearance of everything.
I can see born asleep all these things in motion ours
Observing various aspects of life from birth to death, emphasizing possession.
All the debt and lives you've sold
Highlighting the cost of debts and the lives sacrificed for currency.
There's no truth in who we trust
Suggesting a lack of reliability in those who are trusted.
Print and print the money that you spend
Pointing out the continuous creation of money without substance.
Spend and spend the money that you print then
Emphasizing the cyclic nature of spending and printing money.
One day it'll all be over
Reiterating the idea that everything will eventually come to an end.
One day it'll all be gone
Emphasizing the transient nature of existence.
I can see currency how it always sanctions us
Noticing how currency often imposes sanctions on individuals.
All these paper lives you've sold
Pointing out the artificial nature of lives shaped by paper currency.
There's no God in who you trust
Asserting a lack of divine influence in the trusted entities.
Print and print the money that you spend
Reiterating the continuous printing of money without real value.
Spend and spend the money that you print
Highlighting the cyclical nature of spending and printing money.
Print and print the money that you spend
Emphasizing the continuous creation of money without substance.
Spend and spend the money that you print then
Reiterating the cyclic pattern of spending and printing money.
One day it'll all be over one day it'll all be gone
Repeating the idea that everything will eventually come to an end.
And you will all be gone one day
Predicting the disappearance of everything and everyone.
Yeah you will all be gone one day
Emphasizing the eventual disappearance of individuals.
You've paid with your life
Highlighting the sacrifice of life in exchange for financial stability.
A slave from nine to five
Describing a life constrained by a repetitive work schedule.
You're spent through us
Indicating that individuals are exhausted or depleted through the currency system.
You take from us when we die
Pointing out the exploitation of individuals even after death.
So claim the diamonds in your eyes
Suggesting a metaphorical claim on the valuable aspects of human existence.
