Lyrics
Another eulogy
Reflecting on another funeral or memorial speech.
Testament to our inaction
Acknowledging our lack of action as a testament.
Stoking the fire, building around us
Fueling conflict, constructing barriers around us.
Ever the advocate
Advocating for the continuation of our lack of progress.
Perpetuating our stagnation
Continuing behaviors that lead to our stagnation.
It's always the same
Expressing frustration that situations remain unchanged.
You've got nothing to say
Challenging someone with no meaningful contribution.
Synergise or get out of my way
Encouraging collaboration or urging those hindering progress to step aside.
It's time to mobilize heed this
Calling for collective action and attention to a critical issue.
You'll never redefine our cause
Asserting that the fundamental cause won't be redefined.
I will shut you out
Declaring an intention to shut out those opposing the cause.
Conflating every opposition
Merging all opposing views into a single conflict.
With all that you despise
Associating opposition with everything despised.
No more empty words
Rejecting insincere or meaningless statements.
No more false equivalence
Rejecting false comparisons or unjust comparisons.
Bear witness to the changing tide
Witnessing a significant and inevitable change.
If you've got nothing to say
Reiterating that silence is not acceptable.
Step aside, I'm done listening
Declaring an end to listening if no meaningful input is provided.
It's time to mobilize heed this
Reiterating the call for collective action.
You'll never redefine our cause
Emphasizing the resistance to altering the core cause.
I will shut you out
Reaffirming the intention to exclude opposition.
You're daunted by the magnitude
Noting the fear or hesitation in the face of a significant task.
Of this undertaking
Describing the challenge as overwhelming.
(It's) so much easier to be
Highlighting the ease of succumbing to apathy.
Strangling in apathy
Struggling with a lack of motivation or passion.
Romanticising
Glorifying or idealizing elements that should end.
All that would cease to be
Recognizing the consequences of remaining silent.
But we know the price of silence
Emphasizing the high cost associated with silence.
We all know the price of silence
Stressing the universal awareness of the consequences of silence.
