Breath​/​Life

from MMXII by Reproacher

about

This song is mostly about how we live in a society dominated by male interests and about how preserving one's lineage is a common concern among most humans. This song is about how younger generations of Americans are going to inherit a great deal of misfortune from the previous, and that failure is only bound to progress to complete social devastation and a terrible quality of life. Why do we create offspring who will work twice as hard as their parents and not have the ability to provide for themselves? What's the point of creating life that will only amount to a shallow and detached existence even more removed than our own?

lyrics

They told you this was all for you
That they helped you out
Those dirty eyes, dirty thoughts
They only meant to love you
And you thought you needed him
You’re the system, the fucking seed

And for what?
To create that which lives and dies for nothing
For god and country
For sword and truth
The lies they sold our youth

To keep our hands in their pockets
And our minds on the end
And to keep us worshiping the men, trust the cloth
Drawing breath entitled to nothing
Progress the seed, create for nothing

And your son will be born into the void
To rule the wasteland, medicated sitcom lives
While twisted dead tongues circle his ears
And the truth soaked in red

And for what?
Despondency
This world
Wreathed in shit

With no skeletons by my side
No men, no masters, no christ
Born into this void
Your father’s bones next to mine
