Capitulation
Riding the Waves of Capitulation: Unveiling Life's Gambles
Lyrics
Intrigued when they tell you that
People are intrigued when told that they cannot accurately assess or define the level of risk involved.
They can’t define the risk
It's simple to desire more of something when you're experiencing success or euphoria.
It’s easy when you’re flying high to say
It's easy to desire more when everything is going well (flying high).
Give me more of this
Asking for more of the positive experience or situation.
You trust that they’ll never lie
The belief that they (authority figures, institutions) won't deceive or mislead you.
You’re told you’re in good hands, yeah
Assurance or belief that you are in safe and trustworthy hands.
Keep working ’til the day you die
Continuing to work tirelessly until death because there's no real conclusion or endpoint.
‘Cause there really is no end
Implying that there's no definitive conclusion or ultimate resolution.
We all lost, capitulation
All of us suffered the consequences of capitulation (surrendering/submitting).
Brought us down to our knees
Capitulation led to our downfall or brought us to a submissive state.
We never learned, we never held back
We never acquired knowledge or restrained ourselves; we just embraced the desire for more.
Just buying into the greed
Engaging in and supporting excessive desires and selfishness.
We all lost, capitulation
All of us experienced loss due to surrendering or giving in.
Folded our hands for free
We submitted without resistance or effort.
We never thought, we never looked back
We didn't consider the consequences; we only focused on progression.
It only goes up, only goes up you see
Emphasizing the belief that things only improve, never deteriorate.
This way, don’t get left behind
Encouraging not to be left behind in a particular direction or trend.
To feast upon demand
To enjoy or indulge in something based on immediate demand or need.
To play you thought you had to try
Thinking that participation is necessary to be a part of the game or system.
To leverage all you have
Using everything at one's disposal for personal advantage or gain.
The game that you never grasped
The understanding of the situation or the rules was never fully grasped.
‘Cause your riding till the end, yeah
Continuing to navigate or move forward until the end, regardless of understanding.
Keep faking when you say its enough
Continuing to pretend or deceive oneself by saying that one has had enough.
You’re gambling in depends
Taking risks with uncertain outcomes.
We all lost, capitulation
All of us suffered the consequences of capitulation (surrendering/submitting).
Brought us down to our knees
Capitulation led to our downfall or brought us to a submissive state.
We never learned, we never held back
We never acquired knowledge or restrained ourselves; we just embraced the desire for more.
Just buying into the greed
Engaging in and supporting excessive desires and selfishness.
We all lost, capitulation
All of us experienced loss due to surrendering or giving in.
Folded our hands for free
We submitted without resistance or effort.
We never thought, we never looked back
We didn't consider the consequences; we only focused on progression.
It only goes up, only goes up you see
Emphasizing the belief that things only improve, never deteriorate.
