Going Backwards
Unveiling the Regression: A Critical Journey into Societal Devolution
Lyrics
We are not there yet
We have not reached our destination or goal.
We have not evolved
As a society, we have not progressed or developed.
We have no respect
There is a lack of regard or esteem for important values.
We have lost control
We no longer have command or authority.
We’re going backwards
We are regressing instead of moving forward.
Ignoring the realities
Choosing to ignore the actualities or facts.
Going backwards
Continuing to move in reverse.
Are you counting all the casualties?We are not there yet
Questioning if the consequences are being acknowledged.
Where we need to be
We haven't reached the desirable state or position.
We are still in debt
We still carry burdens related to our irrationalities.
To our insanities
Indebted to our own insanities or irrational behaviors.
We’re going backwards
Continuing the backward movement, reversing our past.
Turning back our history
Undoing or erasing our historical progress.
Going backwards
Adding to the collective suffering and hardship.
Piling on the miseryWe can track it all with satellites
We can monitor everything through technology.
See it all in plain sight
Observing all events clearly and directly.
Watch men die in real time
Witnessing deaths happening in real time.
But we have nothing inside
Despite external advancements, there is emptiness within.
We feel nothing insideWe are not there yet
An inability to experience emotions internally.
We have lost our soul
We have forfeited or lost our essential nature or essence.
The course has been set
The path or direction we are on is destructive.
We’re digging our own hole
We are contributing to our own downfall.
We’re going backwards
Continuing the retrograde motion.
Armed with new technology
Equipped with advanced technology, but moving backward.
Going backwards
Persisting in regressive actions.
To a caveman mentalityWe can emulate on consoles
Reverting to a primitive mindset, like a caveman.
Killings we can control
Simulating or imitating actions through gaming consoles.
With senses that have been dulled
Controlling acts of violence in a desensitized manner.
Because there’s nothing inside
Due to a lack of internal depth or substance.
We feel nothing insideWe feel nothing inside
An absence of emotional connection or empathy.
(We feel nothing, nothing inside)
Emphasizing the void within, feeling nothing.
Because there’s nothing inside
Reiterating the emptiness within as a consequence.
