Decomposition Blues
Decomposition Blues: Unveiling the Rot Within
Lyrics
We've thrown our stones
We have expressed our opinions or criticisms.
We've named our targets, slung our arrows
We have identified our targets and voiced our criticisms.
With corpse and bones
Using dead bodies and bones metaphorically to establish a solid foundation for the future.
Laid firm foundation for tomorrow
We have created a stable groundwork for the days to come.
And we've risen above
We have surpassed challenges and obstacles.
And soundly around our position
We are confident and secure in our position.
Seems all's correct
Everything appears correct or in order.
'Cept that stench of decomposition
Except for the unpleasant smell of decay.
We've been the minds
We have been the intellectual architects.
Like fists wrapped tightly
Our thoughts have been tightly clenched like fists.
Round conclusions
We have firmly held onto our conclusions.
Accommodate the past
We accept the past to align with the abundance of ideas.
Just to keep with the profusion
As the decay becomes evident, symbolizing a hazardous history.
As decay starts to waft of dangerous history
With intellectual activity and passion, we break down as much as needed.
With thought and flame
We decompose as much as necessary
-I'm not dreamin' about what was
Not dwelling on the past or idealizing it.
Hold no stock in yesterday cause
Not valuing or investing in historical events because they are repetitive.
It's just the same
Indifference to the past as it remains the same.
Suffer the greed through wars and cancer
Enduring the negative consequences of greed through wars and diseases.
Profit from need, conceal the answers
Benefiting from the necessities but hiding the solutions.
These bones will rot in wait of change
The consequences of these actions will persist until change occurs.
Dig these bones, stew these bones
Repetition of the theme of decay and breaking down.
Beat the bones and deal these bones
-Dig these bones, stew these bones
-Beat the bones and deal these bones
-Dig these bones, stew these bones
-Beat the bones and deal these bones
-Dig these bones, stew these bones
-Beat the bones and deal these bones
-We've thrown our stones
Repetition of the earlier verses, emphasizing the persistence of decay despite achievements.
We've named our targets, slung our arrows
-With corpse and bones
-Laid firm foundation for tomorrow
-And we've risen above
-And soundly around our position
-Seems all's correct
-'Cept that stench of decomposition
-Seems all's correct
Reiteration of the apparent correctness contrasted with the persistent decomposition.
'Cept that stench of decomposition
-If this is peace who's peace is it?
Raising questions about the true nature of peace.
If this is war baby let's get with it
Suggesting a willingness to engage in conflict if the current state is considered war.
If this is hate better find me some
Expressing a desire to find hate if that is the prevailing sentiment.
But if this is love I don't want none
Rejecting love if it aligns with the current situation.
