High Horse
Unmasking Our Illusions: The Riot Peddlers' Critique of Society's Arrogance
Lyrics
Our reckless society
Commentary on the recklessness of contemporary society.
The abundance of notoriety
Highlighting the prevalence of fame and infamy.
And all of it's proprietary
Referring to ownership and exclusivity in society.
But "We are the greatest that's ever existed!"
Sarcastically quoting a self-aggrandizing sentiment.
Our complacent behaviour
Criticizing the indifferent and passive conduct of society.
Imaginary saviours
Mentioning unreal or ineffective saviors.
The potential is wasted
Expressing the squandered potential in society.
But "We are the greatest that's ever existed!"
Reiterating the ironic claim of societal greatness.
Done with improvements
Rejecting progress and embracing regression.
Regress is our movement
Stating a negative direction as the collective movement.
It's something we can never learn!
Emphasizing the inability to learn from mistakes.
A look in the mirror
Encouraging introspection through self-examination.
Will make things clearer
Asserting that self-reflection brings clarity.
But it's something we would never do!
Highlighting society's reluctance to introspect.
There will come a day the facade will fade away
Anticipating a future where pretense is exposed.
Showing who we really are
Revealing the true nature of society beneath the façade.
An ignorant nation with ignorant leaders
Characterizing the nation as uninformed with misguided leaders.
Riding on their high horse!
Metaphorically describing the arrogance of those in power.
Our reckless society
Repetition for emphasis on society's recklessness.
The abundance of notoriety
Reiteration of the prevalence of fame and infamy.
And all of it's proprietary
Repeating the idea of ownership and exclusivity.
But "We are the greatest that's ever existed!"
Repeating the sarcastic quote about societal greatness.
Our complacent behaviour
Reiterating the critique of indifferent societal behavior.
Imaginary saviours
Repeating the mention of ineffective saviors.
The potential is wasted
Reiterating the theme of wasted potential.
But "We are the greatest that's ever existed!"
Repeating the ironic claim of societal greatness.
Done with improvements
Reinforcing the rejection of improvement and acceptance of regression.
Regress is our movement
Reinforcing the negative direction as the collective movement.
It's something we can never learn!
Re-emphasizing the inability to learn from mistakes.
A look in the mirror
Reiterating the call for introspection through self-examination.
Will make things clearer
Reiterating that self-reflection brings clarity.
But it's something we would never do!
Reiterating society's reluctance to introspect.
There will come a day the facade will fade away
Reiterating the anticipation of a future where pretense is exposed.
Showing who we really are
Reiterating the revelation of the true nature of society beneath the façade.
An ignorant nation with ignorant leaders
Reiterating the characterization of the nation as uninformed with misguided leaders.
Riding on their high horse!
Reiterating the metaphorical description of the arrogance of those in power.
