The War
Echoes of Resilience: The War Within
Lyrics
They say we'll lose a generation
Expressing concern about losing a generation to a created plague.
To a plague that they created
Attributing the plague's existence to a collective 'they.'
We won't be your dead youth
Rejecting the idea of being a sacrificed youth.
We just want the answers to
Seeking answers about those responsible for letting down the children.
Who let the children down?
Raising a question about who is to blame for failing the children.
I said, who let the children down, now?
Reiterating the inquiry about those who let the children down.
I hear the echoes of the war that couldn't take us
Hearing echoes of a war that failed to defeat them.
If we go out we grab the pills before we drink up
Describing a preparedness to use pills if facing imminent danger.
I tend to black out so I hope somebody wakes me up
Expressing a tendency to black out and hoping for intervention.
There's still a fire inside
Acknowledging a resilient internal fire.
I hope somebody wakes me up
Reiterating the hope for someone to wake them up from a blackout.
I hear the echoes of the war that couldn't take us
Repeating the echoes of a war that couldn't overcome them.
Our will is stronger than our weakness
Asserting that their will is stronger than their weakness.
We'll prove it all before you need us
Committing to prove themselves before being needed.
We won't be your dead youth
Reiterating the rejection of being a sacrificed youth.
We just want the answers to
Repeating the quest for answers about those who let the children down.
Who let the children down?
Reiterating the question about who let the children down.
I said, who let the children down, now?
Reiterating the inquiry about those who let the children down.
I hear the echoes of the war that couldn't take us
Repeating the echoes of a war that failed to defeat them.
If we go out we grab the pills before we drink up
Reiterating the preparedness to use pills if facing imminent danger.
I tend to black out so I hope somebody wakes me up
Repeating the tendency to black out and hoping for intervention.
There's still a fire inside
Reiterating the acknowledgment of a resilient internal fire.
I hope somebody wakes me up
Reiterating the hope for someone to wake them up from a blackout.
Show me the place you break down
Asking to reveal vulnerability and breakdown.
I'll show you the way to get out
Offering assistance in finding a way out of a difficult situation.
They said no one's redeemed
Challenging the belief that no one can be redeemed.
But I don't believe
Expressing disbelief in the idea that redemption is impossible.
And they're not gonna save you now
Asserting that salvation won't come now.
Show me the way you break down
Asking to reveal vulnerability and breakdown.
I'll show you the way to get out
Offering assistance in finding a way out of a difficult situation.
They said no one's redeemed
Challenging the belief that no one can be redeemed.
But I don't believe
Expressing disbelief in the idea that redemption is impossible.
And they're not gonna save you now
Asserting that salvation won't come now.
I hear the echoes of the war that couldn't take us
Repeating the echoes of a war that failed to defeat them.
If we go out we grab the pills before we drink up
Reiterating the preparedness to use pills if facing imminent danger.
I tend to black out so I hope somebody wakes me up
Repeating the tendency to black out and hoping for intervention.
There's still a fire inside
Reiterating the acknowledgment of a resilient internal fire.
I hope somebody wakes me up
Reiterating the hope for someone to wake them up from a blackout.
I hear the echoes of the war that couldn't take us
Repeating the echoes of a war that failed to defeat them.
