We Are the Involuntary

Navigating Desperation: Reflections on the Human Race
Be the first to rate this song

Lyrics

Just drifting along with the world

Just going along with the flow of society

Every motion is paranoid and paralyzing

Feeling constantly anxious and unable to move

Give it up

Surrender or abandon something

Or give 'em hope

Provide optimism or encouragement

Let us all survive the wake

Let everyone survive the aftermath or consequences


We, we're a race, a human race

Emphasizing human unity as a single species

Under the glass behind it all

Being observed or controlled by an external force

Watch us crawl, watch us crawl so fearfully

Watch people move cautiously and fearfully

I might be wrong after all, I might be wrong

Expressing doubt about personal beliefs

But weren't we just so delicate yesterday

Reflecting on human fragility in the past


Sit back and think about it

Reflecting or contemplating on a situation

Sleep it off, sleep on it

Suggesting to rest and reconsider

Come to, and make your motions

Wake up and take action or make decisions

Sit back and think about it

Reflecting or contemplating on a situation

Sleep it off, sleep on it

Suggesting to rest and reconsider

Come to, and make your motions

Wake up and take action or make decisions


Listen up

Repeated emphasis on paying attention

Listen up

-

Listen up

-

There's a calling ahead

Feeling a strong inner calling or urgency

A desperation, a falling of man

Desperation and decline of humanity

We are all lost in the sound

Feeling lost in chaos or confusion

Lost in the sound

Continuing to feel lost or disconnected

Lost in the sound of separation

Being lost in the feeling of isolation or division


Hands in the air and love at our sides

Expressing a desire for something greater

There's gotta be something bigger

Searching for a higher purpose or meaning

With the beating in our throats

Sensing strong emotions within

And the tremble in our grip, this can't be it

Feeling unsettled, believing there must be more


I'll come up, I'll come up for peace

Commitment to peace, truth, and sacrifice for others

I'll come down, I'll come down for truth

-

I'll give in, I'll give up for you

-

I'll come up, I'll come up for peace

-

I'll come down, I'll come down for truth

-

I'll give in, I'll give up for you

-

I'll give up, I'll give up, I'll give up, I'll give up

Repeatedly expressing willingness to surrender


The floors are shaking

Feeling unstable or insecure, seeking mercy

And we've lost our step

-

Oh Lord, have mercy

-

Have mercy on us all

-

The floors are shaking

-

And we've lost our step

-

Oh Lord, have mercy

-

Have mercy on us all

-

Oh

Final plea or appeal for mercy
