lirik lagu giver (hc) – the terror of perfection
i crossed out these lines so many times
as i rewrote dead words to find the right rhymes
but nothing seemed to fit in, nothing could describe the animosity
this world has to deal with
instead of walking our paths hand in hand
we stand as reckless rivals, alone in the end
we are born with a free mind, brought up to compete
nothing ever tempts the pressure to succeed
a generation that lives to dig its own grave
i’m sure no one will ever speak their names
working on their monuments, i won’t deliver my bones
this casket will be filled with stones
the steady contest leaves us desperate and blind
we’ve grown heartless, tired, grave and unkind
when the body’s a machine, one unlearns sympathy
still the wheel spins on, so viciously
a generation that lives to dig its own grave
i’m sure no one will ever speak their names
working on their monuments, i won’t deliver my bones
this casket will be filled with stones
where the cycle breaks comes the machinery to rest
and the mind awakes, sees its place and role in this, becomes dangerous
as fathers go their sons will grow
and nothing mends the steady flow
and man remains man’s greatest foe
are we never enough? never strong enough, never fast enough?
are we never enough? never beautiful, never good enough?
’cause it seems like i am always a little less of everything this world wants me to be
and it seems like i am always one step away of accomplishing anything
where the cycle breaks comes the machinery to rest
and the mind awakes, sees its place and role in this
becomes dangerous, becomes dangerous, becomes dangerous
we are dangerous
