Torn
Dissension Unveiled: A Journey Through Indiscretion and Consequence
Lyrics
Did you remember to take your meds?
Addressing the listener about taking prescribed medication for mental health.
Will you comply just to stay the course? (Stay the course)
Questioning if the listener will conform in order to follow a predetermined path.
This is your own indiscretion, condemned to rest
Describing a personal indiscretion leading to condemnation and rest.
By their wagging tongues (By their wagging tongues)
Being criticized by gossip and rumors.
Messengers wallow in scriptures defined
Messengers immersed in defined scriptures created by discredited writers.
By writers whose credit is swiftly defiled
Expressing the swift tarnishing of the credibility of certain writers.
The stench of your guilt can't be masked with dead roses
The guilt's stench cannot be concealed with empty gestures.
The further you are is when I'm at my closest
Feeling closest when physically distant from the subject of the lyrics.
When will you see what you are?
Questioning the listener's self-awareness and understanding of their nature.
The damage is done and you've failed to convince me
Asserting that irreversible harm has been done and the listener's persuasion is ineffective.
When will you figure out?
Asking when the listener will realize their role in a pointless disagreement.
You're just a pawn in this mindless dissension
Characterizing the listener as a pawn in a senseless conflict.
Defamed! Discriminate! Torn from the womb of tomorrow

Defaced! Eliminate! Torn from the womb of tomorrow

Shut! It! Down! Right! Now!
Urging an immediate shutdown of undesirable elements or situations.
Shut! It! Down! Right! Now!
-Shut! It! All! Down! Right! Now!
-The blind leading the blind into the obsolete
Describing a situation where those lacking awareness follow others towards obsolescence.
Would you sacrifice everything for the weak?
Questioning if one would sacrifice everything for the weak.
Traded your conscience for a piece of "it"
Trading moral values for something deemed valuable.
Your ideals have failed, the past has witnessed it
Asserting the failure of the listener's ideals, witnessed by the past.
The truth rings in my ear, they echo the past, sayin'
Reflecting on a truth echoing the past and the need to learn from mistakes.
"When will we learn from our mistakes?"
Posing questions about learning from past mistakes and applying them.
"When will you learn from your mistakes?"
-Shut! It! All! Down! Right! Now!

Defamed! Discriminate! Torn from the womb of tomorrow

-Torn from the inside out. God! So understated. No, we can't take it

Torn from the inside out. God! So understated. No, we won't make it
-Shut! It! Down! Right! Now!
