Breaking Chains: Tree River's Anthem Against Apathy
Lyrics
I get mad at the magic makers
I express frustration towards those who create illusions or deceive.
I get mad at the habits I have
I become upset with my own behaviors and routines.
I get mad at the vapid vapors
I am angered by shallow and insubstantial influences.
I get mad at the fact that I'm mad
I am frustrated by the fact that I feel anger.
No, I won't...
I refuse to...
Fuck apathy
I strongly reject apathy.
Feel like everyone's passing me
I feel like I am being left behind by everyone.
Had a path but now I'm stuck
I had a direction in life, but now I feel stuck.
Drowning in a cloud of dust
I feel overwhelmed and obscured, like drowning in confusion.
Low, like I have lost control
I am in a low state, feeling a lack of control.
And I'm alone and old
I am alone and feeling aged.
Throw me back onto the throne
Suggesting a desire to reclaim a position of authority or control.
Where I can own my on-key ennui
I want to acknowledge and possess my unique weariness.
Why?
Questioning the circumstances or reasons behind the frustration.
Why not?
Suggesting a willingness to explore possibilities and alternatives.
Fuck apathy
A strong rejection of indifference or lack of interest.
Feel like everyone's after me
I feel like everyone is pursuing or targeting me.
Had a path but now I'm stuck
I had a direction, but it seems unattainable now.
Drowning in a cloud of dust
Feeling overwhelmed and obscured, similar to drowning but emphasizing a lack of clarity.
Wide awake when daylight bleeds
Aware and alert during challenging times.
I won't fall back asleep
Resolute in staying awake and not succumbing to sleep.
Crash and burn or turn the key
Considering two contrasting options: facing challenges head-on or avoiding them.
The door's my enemy
Viewing opportunities or progress as obstacles.
Fuck apathy
Reiteration of rejecting apathy, feeling a collective disapproval towards oneself.
Feel like everyone's mad at me
Feeling like others are angry or upset with me.
Had a path but now I'm stuck
Had a direction, but it seems unattainable now.
Drowning in a cloud of not enough
Feeling overwhelmed, drowning, but with an emphasis on a sense of inadequacy.
But I still believe
Despite challenges, there is a belief in the potential for a better future.
There's more on the horizon for me
Optimistic outlook on future possibilities.
Have a past, I'll live with it
Acknowledging and accepting the past, ready to move forward.
Now it's time to give a shit
Recognizing the need to care and invest effort in the present.
(It seems I seem to dream too loudly
Expressing a sense of dreaming loudly, possibly causing disturbance.
I sleep so sound that the sound is maddening
Describing a deep and undisturbed sleep that contrasts with the loud dreams.
Cull all the cults that they call so happening
Criticizing popular trends or movements as superficial.
I would if I could
Expressing a desire to change or eliminate certain aspects if possible.
I would if I could)
Reiteration of the desire to change, acknowledging limitations.
