Architects of Regret: Unveiling the Relentless Tale in Panasonic Youth
Lyrics
We wrote these plans
We formulated these plans.
Took the order the architecture
We arranged the structure according to the plan.
And followed them to the end
We followed the plans to completion.
Until the gears ground cold and relentless
Continued until the machinery became cold and unyielding.
There was no remorse
No feeling of regret or guilt.
We had none
We possessed no remorse.
We kept on
Persisted despite challenges.
With no trace of a regret
Without any sign of regret.
I never saw any blood
No visible bloodshed.
No soul for the body
No essence or spirit left in the body.
Watch them turn her scab covered skin into stone
Witnessed the transformation of damaged skin into stone.
Like a coal in the sky
Metaphorically, like a coal in the sky.
Searching for the dawn for the last time
Searching for the dawn for the last time.
Bloated with white eyes wide
Bloated with white eyes wide open.
We've come to an understanding
Reached a mutual understanding.
You lose, I profit
The result is your loss and my gain.
High noon and there ain't
It's high noon, and there are no more secrets or excuses.
No secrets, no more excuses
No hiding, no justifications.
Now our number's up
Our time has come to an end.
Let them lead us by the throat
Let others guide us forcibly.
Now just smile
Smile despite the tightening noose.
While the rope pulls tighter
The sense of guilt is beyond words.
Guilty is an understatement
Being guilty is an understatement.
The hourglass is never right side up
The hourglass symbolizes time, always in a state of decline.
And all the time
Throughout all the time.
We try to tear the script up
Attempting to deviate from the predestined path.
Forgetting all the sour for the sweet
Choosing the sweet over the bitter.
The paragraph has never been so empty
The script is devoid of meaning or substance.
The mother dies with infant in arms
A mother dies holding her infant.
The lifeless test tube,
A lifeless test tube, depicting scientific manipulation.
Look what she's done
Critiquing the consequences of evolution.
Evolution gave us a clock
Evolution provides a ticking clock always running out.
That's always winding down
The inevitable entropy and decay of existence.
