No Place Here
UADA Lyrics

Among the liars
In the midst of those who deceive and manipulate

Flag fliers
Those who blindly support their country without questioning its actions

Factual deniers
Those who refuse to accept the truth and instead create their own version of reality

The war on instinct has begun
Human nature and intuition are under attack

Scientific distortion
The manipulation or misinterpretation of scientific data to fit a certain agenda

Philosophical contortion
Twisting and distorting philosophical ideas to justify one's beliefs

Let it be abortion
Let it be the act of ending something that no longer serves a purpose

That now grants us none
That leaves us with nothing

Mental regression
A decline in mental health and well-being

Self image obsession
An unhealthy fixation on one's appearance or self-perception

Under the guise of oppression
Disguised as a form of oppression or injustice

They sanctimoniously leech
They hypocritically drain resources or attention from others

The revolutionaries
Those who seek change and upheaval

And over-reactionaries
Those who overreact to minor issues or perceived slights

Are the contemporaries
Are the people of the present time

Who cannot practice what they preach
Who are unable to live up to the ideals they promote

The false accusers
Those who wrongfully blame others

Privileged abusers
Those who abuse their power and privilege

Bias users bathing in the bile they birth
Those who create and perpetuate biased views and opinions

The distribution
The spreading or dissemination

Of ones own confusion
Of one's own lack of clarity or understanding

Casts false illusions of what they deem of worth
Creates a distorted perception of what is valuable or meaningful

Self reflective denial
The refusal to acknowledge or accept one's own faults or shortcomings

Projecting outward trial
Blaming others for one's own problems or mistakes

A plague so bile it shields the mortal mind
A toxic force that clouds one's judgment and perception

Hypnotizing the spineless
Manipulating those who lack courage or conviction

Capitalizing on blindness
Exploiting those who are unaware or uninformed

Guided sightless is the humankind
Humanity is being led blindly

Individualism versus collectivism
The conflict between valuing individual freedom and expression versus group loyalty and cooperation

What is free will if the will cannot be free
What is the point of having the ability to make choices if those choices are limited or coerced?

With persuasion of denomination
Under the influence of a specific belief system or ideology

Does what you believe bestow the right to deceive
Does holding a certain belief justify lying or misleading others?

Take what you've been handed
Accepting what you have without question or criticism

Endowed, inherited and granted
Received through inheritance or privilege

And through your fingers let it fall
Letting go of what you have been given

With the alleviation of appreciation
With the loss of gratitude

Without double standards would there be any at all
If people were consistent in their beliefs and actions, would there be any hypocrisy?

I cannot see myself in this world being found, among those who claim down is up while others swear that up is down
I don't fit in with those who hold contradictory or illogical beliefs

There is no knowledge of the inhumanity once withstood, that could cease those from weaponizing their own victimhood
Those who have experienced suffering sometimes use it as a weapon to manipulate or control others

Where logic holds no validity over emotion, it is the taste of entitlement that detracts the relevance of their devotion
When emotions override reason, people's sense of entitlement can overshadow their commitment to a cause

And it darkens the sense of a greater understanding, when they've fallen deaf to all dialogue other than their own demandings
When people are unwilling to listen to other viewpoints, it hinders their ability to learn and grow

And they focus their faith into a chosen form of extremism
They become fanatically devoted to a certain belief system or ideology

Like a swinging pendulum, the behest of a subconscious hypnotism
Their beliefs and actions swing back and forth inconsistently, driven by subconscious influences

To insist immunity in the light of a false alliance, squealing foolishness to accompany the continued acts of their defiance
To claim immunity or invincibility due to a false sense of solidarity, while continuing to engage in foolish actions

In the end they'll hear only what it is they want to hear, the weakening words of a failing campaign in which they choose to smear
They will only listen to what aligns with their beliefs, even if it weakens their argument or position

The only consistency found can be within their own doubt, as they descend with communal ad hominem channeling casuistic clout
Their only consistent trait is their own insecurity and self-doubt, as they use personal attacks and deceptive tactics to sway others

The most privileged protect their political pose, polarizing personal principle and propagating a platform for their phony prose
Those with the most privilege use it to promote their own political agenda, often at the expense of others

A fictitious brotherhood, a fraudulent kin, only projecting outward what it is that they so feel within
The bond they claim to share is fake and insincere, and they only express what they themselves feel

There is no reflection, restraint or redaction, to those who cannot take responsibility for the contamination of their own action
Those who refuse to take responsibility for their own mistakes and misdeeds will not change or improve their behavior

And they push their concepts of identity upon us all, out-thrusting nonsense so that they may have a sword on to fall
They try to impose their own ideas of identity on everyone else, even if it doesn't make sense, so that they can justify their beliefs

And we wait for the cowards to take their leave, for there is no trust, no virtue and definitely no honor among these thieves
We hope that those who act cowardly and deceitfully will eventually leave, as there is no trust, honesty, or honor among them

Where every step is a contradiction to their last, a promenade on display, a forward march into their past
Their actions are constantly inconsistent and contradictory, and they continue to move forward without learning from their mistakes

Through the intolerance of their desperate disposition shown, becoming disenfranchised by the infantile climates in which they've thrown
Their intolerance and desperation pushes people away, and they become disconnected from the communities they've created

I cannot see myself among a flock controlled by fear, for I have no place there and they have no place here
I don't belong with those who are controlled by fear, and they don't belong with me
