Inert
Embracing Life's Unseen Forces with Thousand Oaks' 'Inert'
Lyrics
Even though I tried I can't hold back the tide
Despite my efforts, I cannot resist or stop inevitable change.
Predestined to roam the earth
Fated to wander and exist on this planet.
Unaware and yet convinced to be in control
Unconscious of the truth, yet convinced of having command.
I've listened to the sound of unanswered questions
I've paid attention to the noise created by unanswered inquiries.
As well as to the one of blind conviction
Also, I've listened to the noise of unquestioning belief.
A desperate need for control since the day we're born
A strong desire for authority since our birth.
I've listened to the sound of unanswered questions
Reiteration of contemplating unanswered questions.
As well as to the noise of blind conviction
Additionally, paying attention to the clamor of unwavering belief.
Like an army of pawns swarming on a board
Like a multitude of pawns on a chessboard, we move without understanding the reason.
We fight without knowing why
We engage in battles without comprehending the purpose.
Rest assured in knowing that we all
Be reassured that we all
Live at the mercy of forces outside our control
Live under the influence of forces beyond our influence.
Scream and shout and live by this anthem with the sun upon your face
Express yourself loudly and live by this anthem, facing life boldly.
You will be laughing in the face of death when it calls your name
You will find joy in the face of death when it beckons.
Predestined to roam the earth
Reiteration of being destined to wander the earth.
Unaware and yet convinced to be in control
Unconscious of the reality, yet convinced of having control.
Little peace comes to the ones who grieve
Little solace comes to those who mourn.
When logic's drifting and the world that we built
When reason falters, and the world we constructed appears fragile.
Seems like a pile of leaves a few moments before the wind
It seems like a heap of leaves shortly before the wind scatters them.
Rest assured in knowing that we all
Be reassured that we all
Live at the mercy of forces outside our control
Live at the mercy of forces beyond our control.
Scream and shout and live by this anthem with the sun upon your face
Express yourself loudly and live by this anthem, facing life boldly.
You will be laughing in the face of death when it calls your name
You will find joy in the face of death when it beckons.
