Revel in Discomfort
Embracing Discomfort: Unveiling Societal Realities Through Walking Lands' Revelry
Lyrics
You see it from a distance
You observe it from a distance.
I revel in this comfort
The speaker takes pleasure in this state of comfort.
We talk of disbelief but where is the surprise?
Discussions involve disbelief, but there's no real surprise.
So you talk of resistance, and here comes discomfort
Talking about resistance leads to discomfort.
Is this feigned solidarity, or direct action?
Questioning if expressions of unity are genuine or result in concrete actions.
When you see movement, will you follow suit? When I see motion, will I go along?
Will you imitate when you witness movement? The speaker contemplates their own response.
When I see movement, will I follow suit?
Repetition of the idea of following suit in response to movement.
When you see motion, will you go along?
Questioning if others will join when there is motion.

The system isn't malfunctioning; it serves its intended beneficiaries.

Force is purposefully applied.
Help seems performative
Help appears to be done for show, lacking genuine impact.
We're not willing to let go
Reluctance to release control or old ways.
We're not willing to move forward if it threatens our privilege
Unwillingness to progress if it endangers one's privileges.
When your fear is their demise, look at yourself,

Individualism must give way to community in a world where globalization means disparity
Advocating for a shift from individualism to community in a globalized world with increasing inequality.
So, humble yourself
Suggesting the need to humble oneself.
Listen to those you say you respect
Encouraging listening to and respecting others.
Acknowledge their fears and start questioning yours
Recognizing others' fears and questioning one's own.
What is the future that you want?

Do you think that I'm messing with you?
Possibly expressing doubt or asking if the listener thinks there is deception.
