Slow Moving Tragedy
Awakening to the Silent Tragedy of Modern Existence
Lyrics
Nobody knows about it
Nobody has awareness or knowledge about it.
Nobody cares
No one is concerned or bothered.
Living in a bubble check back in twenty years
We live in a secluded environment, and in twenty years, we might reevaluate our situation.
Year after year we're getting closer to the brink
Each passing year brings us closer to a critical point or collapse.
Slow destruction bred complacency
The gradual decay or ruin is a result of slow but ongoing indifference.
This all happened before but understanding history's a bore
This scenario has occurred in the past, but learning from history seems uninteresting.
The stakes are different now it's life or death
The risks or consequences now are much higher, involving life or death.
Modernity has suffocated the simple fucking trade
The advancement of modern society has stifled basic trades or exchanges, making them complicated.
Of mild inconvenience for a change
Instead of tolerating minor inconveniences, there's a need for substantial change.
Before it all goes away will we do anything
Will we take any action before everything disappears?
Are we too blind to see slow moving tragedy
Are we unable to perceive the gradual and ongoing tragedy?
Defiant we ignore the coming casualty of war
Rebelliously, we disregard the impending casualties of a conflict.
By ignoring all the cries of better men
By ignoring the pleas or advice from morally superior individuals.
Alliances divide us but not everything is binary
Although there are factions, not everything is strictly black or white.
We've all got the same barrel in our mouth
We all face the same impending danger or threat.
A gun we loaded
We ourselves have created the imminent danger.
Before it all goes away will we do anything
Will there be action taken before the situation worsens?
Are we too blind to see slow moving tragedy
Are we incapable of recognizing the slowly evolving tragedy?
Before we head to the cliff will we be more than useless
Before reaching a point of no return, will we contribute positively?
We are alive and it is our time now
We're alive now, and this is our opportunity to make a difference.
What is the motive to lie
What drives the intention to deceive?
Where does the money hide
Where is the source or location of hidden wealth?
Before it all goes away will we do anything
Will any action be taken before it's too late?
Are we too blind to see slow moving tragedy
Are we blind to the gradually unfolding tragedy?
Before we head to the cliff will we be more than useless
Before we reach the brink, can we be more than useless?
We are alive and it is our time
We are currently alive, and this is our moment to act.
We are alive and it is our time now
