Still Thirsty
Falling Sickness Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't hesitate to paint you purpose
Over walls that paint your direction
Shout the thoughts your world is too scared
To mention
Or have you been shackled to the sitcoms
Or have you been guided by the tabloids
Or are you just a mass consumer of popular opinion
We've been organized to think and feel a lie
And if you're thirsty for some truth
There's a fucking fountain inside of you
Overflowing by the seconds to flood
You're empty life
Sharpen out the dullness you've been programmed
To deny
You look to groups and movements and counter
Culture sects
To justify yourself as being intelligent
Buckled tightly to a scene,
Safely pinned to a philosophy
Doesn't make you radical or even significant
As you parade through the glitz
Nose high in the air
You swear you're painting your own picture
But it's a shame that you can't do it
The lyrics of Falling Sickness's song Still Thirsty encourages listeners to break away from the conventional societal norms and express their true thoughts without fear.

The lyrics highlight the importance of individual thought and expression, urging the listener to break away from the mundane routine and cliches that govern their lives.
The following lines of the song touch on the negative impact that media consumption and blindly following popular opinion can have on individuals.

The chorus of the song drives this point home, suggesting that there is an endless pool of truth within each person, but they merely need to tap into it as it is always bursting to come out.
The later half of the song urges the listener to look critically at the groups and movements they follow, hinting that they may not be as intelligent as they believe. The lyrics emphasize the importance of being true to oneself and not just following societal trends or being part of niche groups to feel accepted. The song's tone suggests that individual thought and expression are essential to building a meaningful life.
