The Made Man's Manifesto
The Made Man's Reflection: Unveiling Life's Shadows
Lyrics
Times past, you'd waive your standards
Reflecting on a time when one would compromise their principles.
Wave a lantern, tow the line
Symbolic actions conforming to societal norms, following the rules.
I'm stretched wide in holy sandals
Being open-minded or accepting in a sacred or spiritual context.
Mine's yours and yours is mine
Emphasizing mutual ownership or shared experiences.
They'd take the freezer, break your bed
Conflict and disruption, potentially linked to personal space.
Throw you a bag with a hole for your head
A gesture that provides limited or inadequate assistance.
Did it feel any better out there in the shed?
Questioning the satisfaction of seeking refuge or solace.
Recalling messiahs that wound up dead
Reflecting on failed leaders or figures who met unfortunate ends.
They're taking my friend
An expression of concern or distress over the loss of a friend.
The king of the hill with a dog at the gates
A powerful individual with control over access points.
And a licence to kill smile for the camera
A sarcastic reference to a confident and deadly demeanor for public image.
Down this pill you're twice as
The impact of taking a metaphorical pill, enhancing stillness or composure.
Impressive when you stand still
Stagnation or awe in the face of something impressive.
They're marching in rags beriddled with fleas
A description of people marching in poor conditions, plagued by problems.
That will feed on you, yes
The consequences of one's actions that can harm or exploit.
While you still bleed
A metaphorical reference to continued suffering.
You just gonna lie there?
Challenging someone's passivity or inaction.
Now get on that steed
Encouraging action or initiative, possibly on a metaphorical "steed."
In the end they'll respect you see?
Belief in earning respect through endurance or difficult experiences.
The judge will make signs the jury will nod
Depiction of a legal process where gestures and nods play a role.
"It's the right of the free man
An assertion of a free person's right to retain possessions.
To keep what he's got
Reflection on the inevitability of leaving material possessions behind.
You can't it with you, it's sad, but amen
A resigned acknowledgment of the limitations of material wealth.
If you can't take it with you
Suggesting a choice to take something valuable from others if unable to carry it all.
Take some of them" you can stop counting
Advising to stop counting, possibly indicating a disregard for quantity.
Number one you can stop counting
Repetition emphasizing the insignificance of counting.
Leave the crumbs you can stop
Suggesting a departure from minor concerns or details.
There's cans on the shelf
An image of stored resources or provisions for the future.
Remember the future takes care of it'self
An assertion that the future will manage itself, a call to not worry excessively.
