Lyrics
A couple years back, when all the world was bright
A reflection on a brighter past a couple of years ago.
A balanced sector, which stems the need to fight
Acknowledgment of a balanced world that reduced the need for conflict.
How were we to know the changing tide
Unawareness of the upcoming changes in circumstances.
The rotting invite from inside
A negative influence or invitation from within.
Intent regardless, you crossed the fucking line
An action crossing a moral boundary without remorse.
Without a conscience, we’d never stand behind
Highlighting a lack of conscience as a reason not to support.
Now all our ties cut, we’ll have to start again
Severing ties and the need to start anew.
Say goodbye to this old man
Saying farewell to the old ways or influences.
But wait, your name comes up again
The reappearance of a person's name and the emotions it stirs.
And flood me with jealous discontent, it’s not ok
Feeling flooded with jealousy and discontent about the person.
I still have questions, like what the hell’s the drive
Expressing curiosity about the motivation or ambition.
I know it can’t be, whatever’s left inside
Doubtful about the sincerity of what remains inside.
You really thought that the world would stay the same
Surprise at the expectation that the world would remain unchanged.
Halfass it all, lean back on fame
Criticizing a half-hearted approach relying on fame.
So I will be there the day that you’re replaced,
Promising to witness the day when the person is replaced.
The look of shellshock riddled over your face
Anticipating a shocked reaction when the replacement happens.
It’s not about us, and at the very end
Emphasizing that the situation is not about 'us' but about principles.
We’ll still lift up our rings again
Commitment to persist despite challenges, possibly symbolized by rings.
I see the things I can’t afford
Observing things that are beyond one's financial reach.
Delays my time, my life I move toward it’s not ok
Obstacles causing delays in personal progress.
So tonight, I won’t be looking back
A decision to move forward without dwelling on the past.
Or focus on the past, so stay out of my fucking way
A firm stance to not be hindered or distracted.
My friends are by my side, we’ll fly out in the night
Embracing support from friends and moving forward with determination.
Our shining lights will guide the way
Confidence that their positive influence will guide the way.
