Lyrics
It's sure been a long time since I saw the day
Reflecting on the passage of time and the absence of positive experiences.
Too many damn years that the air is poisoning
Expressing concern about the pollution of the air over many years.
The screaming that's lingering has replaced the laughs
Noting the replacement of joyous laughter with lingering screams.
That barren land is missing the sound of life worth living
Describing a lifeless landscape devoid of the sounds of meaningful existence.
My place in this society is worth more than the war I live today
Valuing one's place in society more than the current state of war.
I live at the seams and there is nothing wrong with me
Asserting a sense of normalcy despite living on the edge of societal norms.
This numbing need I have today
Expressing a desire for something to numb the pain or emptiness.
For items that make me feel someone
Seeking material possessions to fill a void and provide a sense of identity.
A hollow void you can't fill with words
Acknowledging the inability of words to fill a deep emotional void.
You're more than your thoughts
Emphasizing the complexity and depth of an individual beyond their thoughts.
These things that fog our minds
Referring to external influences that cloud and confuse the mind.
That just don't make us bind
Highlighting the disconnection caused by things that hinder human connection.
When's the last time you did something beyond your reach
Challenging the listener to engage in activities beyond their comfort zone.
Can't tell what's wrong from right
Expressing difficulty in distinguishing right from wrong.
I see no sense in fight
Rejecting the sense of purpose in engaging in conflict or strife.
You're more than what you own
Affirming the idea that one's value extends beyond material possessions.
You're more than you know
Encouraging self-awareness, suggesting an untapped potential within oneself.
