No Need For A Leader
Embracing Independence: No Need For A Leader
Lyrics
Something wicked this way comes, we don't like to fall
Anticipation of something negative is approaching, and there's a reluctance to succumb to it.
But when we come down we lose it all
Upon facing challenges or difficulties, there is a sense of losing everything.
Then we open someone new, we eat their bones
Engaging with new experiences or relationships, metaphorically represented by consuming someone, perhaps with negative consequences.
And wonder why they have no bones left
Reflecting on the consequences of one's actions, questioning why others are left depleted or harmed.
Maybe one day we'll find, we have no need for a leader
Expressing a hope for a future where leadership is unnecessary, suggesting a desire for collective autonomy.
I watch the faces on a screen, no question
Observing faces on a screen, possibly referencing media or technology, and acknowledging a lack of certainty about the cost of indifference.
What I'll have to pay for my apathy
Acknowledging a forthcoming payment or consequence for apathy or lack of concern.
Can you feel it on your face, the winds of change
Sensing the impact of change on one's self, possibly implying a challenging or harsh transformation.
Are a lot unfriendlier these days
Commenting on the current, less friendly nature of the winds of change compared to the past.
Maybe one day we'll find, we have no need for a leader
Reiterating the desire for a future where leadership is obsolete, emphasizing the theme of collective independence.
Something wicked this way comes, we don't like to fall
Similar to line 1, suggesting the repetition or continuation of negative events that are unwelcome.
But when we come down we lose it all
Reiterating the idea that facing challenges leads to losing everything.
Then we open someone new, we eat their bones
Repeating the metaphor of engaging with new experiences or relationships, potentially with harmful consequences.
And wonder why they have no bones left
Revisiting the reflection on the impact of actions on others, wondering about the depletion of others.
Maybe one day we'll find, we have no need for a leader
Echoing the hope for a future without the need for a leader, emphasizing a collective vision of self-governance.
