Uptopian Sprawl
Dystopian Realities: Unveiling Humanity's Trials
Lyrics
From under the earth
Emerging from beneath the surface of the earth.
Repine scorched earth
Expressing discontent or sorrow about a scorched or damaged earth.
Claim your plot to trade it
Stake a claim on your piece of land with the intention to trade it.
When streets seem deserted
When the streets appear empty, they are actually filled with actions of the mentally disturbed.
They throng with deeds of the mentally ill
No refuge can be found; a place of safety or protection is elusive.
A sanctuary won't be found
A burial ground without limits or restrictions.
This cemetery knows no bounds
Symbolizing endless graves for abandoned dreams.
Long dead dreams
Aspirations that have long ceased to exist.
In a haze of misanthropy
In a state of intense hatred towards humanity.
Belong or be ignored
Either conform to societal norms or face neglect.
Medicated subliminal scorn
Subtle criticism delivered through medicated influences.
Your headaches become your new gods
Physical or mental pain becomes a focal point of worship.
A sanctuary won't be found
Reiteration that a safe haven is elusive.
A list of names that make no sound
A roster of individuals whose existence goes unnoticed or unheard.
We dream buried in concrete
Immersed in dreams that are entangled in the hardness of concrete.
Nothing is sacred, it's all for sale
Nothing is sacred; everything is available for purchase.
Exposed bodies in the open
Exposed bodies visible in the open.
Arms raised, chest to the blackening sun
People surrendering with arms raised, facing an ominous sun.
The blaze churning all around you
A destructive blaze surrounds you.
Watch as utopia lives, utopia learns
Observing as the idealized society lives and learns, possibly implying a cycle of destruction.
Scorched earth
Reiteration of a scorched earth.
Exposed, dead last in the rat race
Exposed and vulnerable, finishing last in the competitive rat race.
Arms raised, chest to the ambient sun
Similar imagery as line 18, but with a different atmospheric description.
The blaze spreading as the crowds do
The destructive force spreading as the crowds move.
Watch as utopia burns
Observing the demise of the utopian vision.
