Lyrics
Born of a tendency
Born from a natural inclination or habit
To cower in the wake of titans
Showing a tendency to retreat or shrink in the presence of powerful forces
Ours is to follow, not to lead
Our purpose is to follow, not to take the lead
In your stead
In your absence or place
Here we are again
Present once again
Wasting energy
Wasting energy, possibly in unproductive or futile pursuits
Still bored and uninspired
Continuing to be bored and lacking inspiration
Diffusing
Scattering or dispersing
All that we are
Losing the essence of what defines us
And still we persist
Despite challenges, we endure and persist
If language has failed
If communication has proven ineffective
And the chorus is rising
The collective voice is growing stronger
Why deny all the evidence?
Why ignore all the proof or indications?
Who'll be the one to
Who will be the one to
Save us from this emptiness?
Rescue us from this feeling of emptiness
Reciting the Magnum Opus verbatim
Reciting the great work perfectly
Every imperfection purified
Every flaw or imperfection is cleansed or removed
All that's left
All that remains
Is resignation
Is acceptance or surrender
It's still not too late to abandon this mess
It's not too late to abandon this chaotic situation
If language has failed
If communication has proven ineffective
And the chorus is rising
The collective voice is growing stronger
Why deny all the evidence?
Why ignore all the proof or indications?
Who'll be the one to
Who will be the one to
Save us from monotony?
Rescue us from monotony or uniformity
Despite it all
Despite everything
Let's unstandardise the form
Let's deviate from the standard form
And reignite the spark
And revive the enthusiasm or passion
I am ready to ascend
I am prepared to ascend or rise
Defining
Defining or determining
All that we are
All that defines us
We've rallied for less
We have fought for less
