Pipe Dream
Unveiling the Silent Rebellion: With Honor's 'Pipe Dream' Reflection
Lyrics
We are the generation lost
We, as a generation, feel lost and disconnected.
Buried below your reasons
Our existence is overshadowed or hidden by the reasons provided by others.
We are the fractured frame
We are fragmented and broken.
Evidence of your false foundations
We are proof of the shaky or false bases upon which things are built.
Seasons change, but we don't change a thing
Despite changing circumstances, we remain stagnant or unchanging.
Until push comes to shove
Until we are forced into action or confrontation.
Opportunities passed and fate comes calling
We miss chances, but fate eventually catches up.
We are well beyond our means
We are living beyond our capabilities or resources.
The noose is set in place
A metaphorical noose is ready to tighten around us.
And like those who've swung before us
Similar to others who faced dire consequences, we'll face our downfall quickly.
We'll drop fast to our escape
We'll swiftly experience the consequences of our actions.
We've discovered a failsafe way to sweep our troubles underneath the rug
We've found a way to hide or ignore our problems.
To bid the weight of this world one last goodbye
We want to bid farewell to the burdens of the world.
All the while you are sleeping still
Others are unaware or indifferent while we struggle.
Under the greenest tree money could buy
They enjoy a tranquil existence while we face difficulties.
Hoping the rain will bring you peace of mind
Hoping for relief from their troubles through external means.
But it can't, it won't, and it never will
However, they won't find the peace they seek.
We are the lost
We, again emphasizing being lost and overshadowed.
Buried below your reasons
Reiteration of being buried or hidden by others' reasons.
We are the fractured frame
Reinforcing the idea of being fractured and broken.
Evidence of your false foundations
Repeating the concept of being evidence of false foundations.
Seasons change, but we don't change a thing
Reiteration of stagnation despite changing circumstances.
Until push comes to shove
Repeated idea of action only when forced.
Opportunities passed and fate comes calling
Reiterating missed opportunities and eventual fate catching up.
We are well beyond our means
Emphasizing living beyond our means.
The noose is set in place
Repetition of the impending danger or consequences represented by the noose.
And like those who've swung before us
Similar to predecessors, we'll face swift consequences.
We'll fall fast to our escape
Reiterating the swift downfall or escape from consequences.
Progress has its ball and chain
Progress is hindered by burdens or restrictions.
Claiming us a casualty as you look away
We are casualties of this hindered progress.
Your hands have stopped our eyes for much too long
Others' ignorance or inaction has kept us from seeing reality.
Now they threaten to take our lives before the day is done
There's a looming threat to our lives due to this ignorance.
Your hands have stopped our eyes for much too long
Repetition of the obstructed vision caused by others.
