Lyrics
I was hoping we'd make real progress -
The speaker hoped for progress but feels it's not happening.
But it seems we have lost the power
They perceive a loss of control or influence.
Any tiny step of advancement
Even small advancements seem insignificant.
Is like a raindrop falling into the ocean -
Efforts feel futile, akin to a drop in a vast, unconquerable space.
We're running on the spot - always have - always will?
Life feels stagnant, with no real progress.
We're just the next generation of the emotionally crippled.
The current generation feels emotionally stunted or hindered.
Though we keep piling up the building blocks
Despite efforts, progress remains elusive.
The structure never seems to get any higher
No matter how much is built, it never seems to improve.
Because we keep kicking out the foundations
Actions undermine the very foundations of progress.
And stand useless while our lives fall down.
People stand idle while their lives fall apart.
I believe in life - and I believe in love
Belief in life and love despite challenges from the world.
But the world in which I live in - keeps trying to prove me wrong.
The world's negativity challenges the speaker's beliefs.
Out in the pastures we call society
Society is portrayed as limited in vision or understanding.
You can't see further than the bottom of your glass
People's perspectives are clouded by intoxication or narrow views.
Only young but easily shocked
Young and easily disturbed by upheavals or disruptions.
You get all violent when the boat gets rocked -
React violently when faced with significant challenges.
Just like sheep - little lambs into the slaughter
People are likened to sheep, unaware of their situation.
Don't fully grasp what exactly is wrong -
Lack of understanding about what's wrong.
Truth is you never cared - still -
Despite not caring, still react aggressively to disruptions.
You get all violent when the boat gets rocked -
Reiterates the violent reaction to disturbances.
Intelligence should be our first weapon
Intelligence should be used as a primary tool for progress.
And stop reveling in rejection
Stop finding comfort in rejection or failure.
And follow yourselves, not some ageing drain brain
Encouragement to follow personal instincts, not misguided authority figures.
Whose quite content to go on feeding you garbage
Criticizes those who provide useless or detrimental information.
We're running on the spot - always have - always will?
Life feels stuck in a cycle of no progress.
We're just the next generation of the emotionally crippled.
The current generation feels emotionally hindered like their predecessors.
