Part II – Play Again - Voice of Nihilism
[Intro] [distorted guitar riff, sliding synth lead, punchy drums] [Verse 1] [melodic male vocals, synth bass, steady kick and snare] Born just to die White noise fills the night Every screen's a tomb, a never-ending grave I scroll and scroll, same tragedies each day Promises of freedom, solve a subscription fee Another headline screams, another casualty on TV We work, we sleep, we pay the rent The bills climb higher and our souls are spent You say create But what's the point? Ashes pile higher, smoke in the joint [Chorus] [aggressive shouted vocals, heavy distorted guitar chords] The world is burning, we're drowning in debt And you tell me to dance I can't forget No meaning, no plan, no government No stand, every yes is a lie No meaning, no plan, no government No stand, every yes is a lie We're born just to die [Verse 2] [melodic vocals, bass-driven rhythm] Your gods are gone, your values fade This power you preach just covers the ache We sold our dreams for likes and validation Our hearts are burned out, can't recall our convictions If life's on repeat, then why even try? Press skip, press mute, watch our hopes running dry Scrolling through toxic news and empty pride No truth, no anchor, just currents and tide When the loop just loops, what's the use in a song? We fade into nothing We fade, we're gone [Bridge] [drums drop out, atmospheric synth pads] Where's the fire in empty hearts? Where's the spark? We stand in line for nothing, stumble in the dark Love sounds like a slogan to sell another brand Every story ends the same, just returns to sand If eternal return is a curse, not a gift Why should we lift our heads or make a shift? I ask the void and it echoes with silence Meaning's a ghost There is no guidance [Chorus] [full band, heavy distortion, shouted vocals] No meaning, no plan, no government No stand, every yes is a lie No meaning, no plan, no government No stand, every yes is a lie Born just to die [Outro] [sliding synth lead, fading distorted guitar] All our hopes distorted in the shriek of noise [feedback swell] [end]
