This is a world both gentle and cruel

hardstyle gabber, schranz, trance (arcade/synth trance), dark medieval/renaissance choir-orchestral

[Rap 1]
Are you still dreaming?
Living in your happy little world
Looking away from reality
Thinking, “Someone will save me”
What a carefree life plan that is
Responsibility always billed to someone else
Talking ideals without knowing hardship
Master of criticism, all talk and no action
Behind every smile is a calculator
Behind every kindness comes a condition
Pretty words alone can’t keep you alive
You’d know that if you thought for a second
(Yep! Game over! You’re really bad at this living thing!)

[Chorus]
Welcome to reality
A world that never goes your way
No one really has room to spare
Just surviving today is hard enough
And still we keep walking
Even when we’re covered in scars
On the border between dreams and reality
All we can do is laugh and keep going
(Crying won’t buy you an extra life!)

[Verse 2]
Do you still believe it?
“That effort always gets rewarded”
It’s not the hard workers who tell the story
Only the winners get the microphone
Packed commuter trains feel like battlefields
More musical chairs than mutual kindness
On social media they wear masks of justice
While throwing stones at someone behind the scenes
The boss says, “Follow your dreams”
But hates talking about your paycheck
They call it investing in your future
While protecting only their own seat
Praise be! Praise be!
Another smiling endurance contest today!
(Now serving the full-course meal of toxic corporate spirit!)

[Rap 2]
Beautiful words are convenient, aren’t they?
They make perfect shields for avoiding blame
“Compassion,” “bonds,” “friendship,” and all that
The moment it’s inconvenient, they disappear
Expect too much and you’ll get hurt
Trust too much and you’ll become prey
But if you lock yourself away
That road ends just the same
After seeing how dirty the world can be
Can you still choose to trust someone?
I think that might be
What real strength truly means
(Wow, that was actually something wise! Is it going to snow tomorrow!?)

[Chorus]
Welcome to reality
A world both gentle and cruel
Some people will push others down
And some will offer a helping hand
There’s nothing wrong with flower fields
Just don’t live there forever
Carry your dreams into reality
And stand on your own two feet
(Welcome to life—no instruction manual included! Let’s go!)

[Verse 1] You used to say, you know “Everyone around us is so kind” Maybe you were standing in a flower field Dancing together with butterflies Why not take a proper look around? Go on, peek into the real world Cars race through the polluted air Someone rushes through a red light without a care A bicycle nearly knocks people down Then glares instead of apologizing Morning and night, the trains keep carrying People with hollow, exhausted eyes Praise be! Praise be! Another day falling into corporate slavery for someone else! (I’m not working for your sake, you idiot!) [Rap 1] Are you still dreaming?
