Lyrics
Our idols lay in ruins
Our admired figures or ideals are now destroyed or fallen.
We'd have saved them if we could, but we still choose to worship
Despite the ability to save them, we still choose to revere and honor the places where our idols once existed.
The places where our idols stood
We continue to believe in the significance and power of the locations where our idols once stood.
Still believing they can save us
We maintain faith that these idols, though fallen, can still rescue or protect us.
I've lived this way to long to turn back now
Having followed this path for too long, there is no turning back now.
Presuppositions set in stone
Deeply ingrained assumptions or beliefs that are unchangeable.
This coffin sealed by my own pride
A metaphorical coffin, symbolizing a self-imposed enclosure due to personal pride.
And though it seems the sun will shine
Despite the possibility of a positive outcome, the speaker chooses to remain enclosed and pessimistic.
I'll draw the shades and stay inside
In the face of potential brightness or hope, the speaker prefers to stay in the darkness and seclusion.
If we've learned anything at all
If there's a lesson learned, it's that the lingering influence of past idols is just as effective.
It's that the ghosts of idols will do just as well
Acknowledging that the remnants or memories of idols can still shape our actions or decisions.
We all see what we want to anyway
Individual perspectives shape our understanding, and we tend to see what aligns with our desires.
Some things are better left unsaid
Some things are better left unsaid, implying the power of silence in certain situations.
You know what's at stake, some things are better left unsaid
Recognizing the importance of keeping certain truths unspoken due to potential consequences.
As long as we keep it in textbooks, then we'll be untouchable
By confining certain information to textbooks, we believe we can remain invulnerable or beyond reproach.
We hate to lie to children
Expressing reluctance to deceive children but justifying it for their perceived benefit.
But after all, it's all for their own good
Despite the discomfort of lying, it is deemed necessary for the greater good of children.
