Righteous
Embrace Freedom: Breaking Chains in the Shadows
Lyrics
They want you to shut your eyes
There's pressure to ignore reality or the truth.
Don't let them close your mind
Refuse to allow others to control your thoughts.
Turn away from the lies that they've told you
Reject the falsehoods that have been fed to you.
Break free from the chains that hold you
Break away from constraints or limitations.
We live in fear of the unknown
We are afraid of what is unknown or uncertain.
Trapped inside a windowless box
Feeling confined or restricted, unable to see beyond.
Our hearts turn to stone
Our emotions or compassion have hardened.
Everyone looks for one that promises to save
People seek someone to provide salvation or deliverance.
But at the end of the day, there's only one set of bones in your grave
Ultimately, one's mortality is inevitable and personal.
If this is what it means to be righteous
Questioning the true essence or definition of righteousness.
I'll be damned in my wicked ways
Prepared to face consequences for one's unconventional or sinful actions.
Damned in my wicked ways
Repeated acknowledgment of being condemned for one's sinful behavior.
They want you to shut your eyes
Reiterating the pressure to ignore reality or the truth.
Don't let them close your mind
Emphasizing the importance of maintaining an open mind.
Turn away from the lies that they've told you
Reaffirming the need to reject false narratives or deceit.
Break free from the chains that hold you
Encouraging liberation from restraints or limitations.
Lost souls, wandering through the night
Describing individuals who feel disconnected or adrift in life.
Lost souls, searching for the light
Expressing the pursuit of guidance or enlightenment.
Lost souls, stuck between the black and white
Feeling trapped between conflicting or rigid ideologies.
Locked in a cage, will we ever be free?
Questioning whether freedom is attainable or if there's perpetual confinement.
Look within yourself
Encouraging introspection or self-examination.
And fucking tell me
A forceful challenge to assess personal authenticity.
Are you who you want to be?
Questioning alignment with one's desired identity or aspirations.
