Pressure
Breaking Chains: Unveiling the Struggle in 'Pressure' by The Fractions
Lyrics
We've been living where the rich kids rip the piss out of poor adults
Living in a place where wealthy youth mock less fortunate adults
While we can blame each other fight amongst ourselves
Blaming each other and engaging in internal conflict
And there's no need to be a dick head
Encouraging not to act in a rude or unpleasant manner
Even though you've got plenty of reasons too
Acknowledging having valid reasons for resentment but advocating against hostility
I understand that you want respect
Desire for acknowledgment and dignity
And you don't mind the hospitals
Being comfortable with hospitals or medical institutions
Mindless violence is all you know, all you've been shown
Being accustomed to and familiar with senseless violence
First memory, a fathers first
Early recollection of a father's presence
A broken home, a broken home
Growing up in a fractured or dysfunctional family environment
And there's always been the pressure
Existence of constant pressure in life
And there's always been ways of letting it go
Various methods of coping with pressure
There has always been a shelter
Availability of refuge in a place typically avoided
In the place we don't go
(Empty line)
Endless cycles causing endless pressure
Repetitive cycles causing continuous stress
Expectations seem so hard to measure
Difficulty in meeting societal expectations
I've been trying but the circumstances make it hard for us all
Attempting to cope with difficult circumstances affecting everyone
Us all
Impact on the collective
And I woke up to a phone call
Awakening to distressing news via a phone call
Not the sort of thing I wanted to hear
Undesirable information received
Just because we didn't get along my friends are hurt
Friends affected due to personal conflicts
I was on a fucking mission
Being determined to confront others aggressively
Out to lick any motherfucker that I saw
Ready to physically confront anyone encountered
This system is a prison
Perceiving the societal structure as restrictive and confining
Gets the better of us all
Adverse impact of the system on everyone
