Warning
A. Hill S. Seyfried Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

To those who sit at home and have tuned to this broadcast
Or are hearing the files from the past
Cause those in control blast it through public channels
Or one subject has stolen and compiled it for others to handle
'S'all the same, contact's been made, our path is lain, your hard facts will change
We don't stop at speaking, unscrambling beyond codes floating on waves
We'll flow through eroding the terrain, it's over just hold for the rain
That'll wash away the scaffolding that is holding you in place mothafucka'
Built by those who run games set above ya
I'm here to warn ya embrace disorder or suffer
Attention, when the vessel lets go its suspension
Headed for intervention, edit's an underestimation
Let this be a statement
We're readier than your rebels to level everything beyond its basis
And know we don't cling to apparatus
Don't dictate from attics, nor sit wait and pass it
We crash cornerstones into crumbling dust
Our presence is not constructive and no coming with us
Yeah trust me, when dust settles to floor, don't expect anything more
We don't bring the medicine for the sore
We enter in through the fringe and unhinge the doors
And bring to fore things stored in boxes kept tight by cement originally poured
By individuals who find inadmissible your original form
Chaos is positive when harnessed, we seek only to demolish what stops it and make more room
Mutual interests collide; in the ruins you can live free of restriction and divide
and less risk that your system will skin us alive
So get behind, or step aside, when we arrive
Bound to a course straight down and I
Lounged in a space so foul and I
Bounced to the nearest warmth around and I
Won't change now
Within small time I'm coming way way down
And there's no way around
I won't lay face down, be swayed, be played out
Or decay, fade out, or drown, get laid out
Our main route is ending so just consider secession
Bound to a course straight down and I
Lounged in a space so foul and I
Bounced to the nearest warmth around and I
Won't change now
Within small time I'm coming way way down
And there's no way around
I won't lay face down, be swayed, be played out
Or decay, fade out, or drown, get laid out
Our main route is ending so just consider secession or get out
I've seen the best plans bend at the beams
Then creak at the bolts, and tear at the seams, I've
I've felt the sediment stir over sentiment
Seen quicksand develop from anomalies in elements… inevitable
Went from defendable to untenable
Authority and influence renders itself irreparable
Structure and destruction are inseparable
Inexorably moral forces changes course to be detestable, it's destined
In response we refuse to involve ourselves in it
Evolution is scarred when an arm guards and shifts it
We run from arms, we will not lengthen ours and connect to land or law
That's bound to cause tremendous harm
A random draw creates new beginnings
Continuation emboldens old paths of control
With renewed pizazz, and turns righteous to sinners
There's no escape from the burden,
Unless we break and disperse this mold
Hate to inform you must embrace burning
Hate to inform you that space is this cold
Descension; bound to a course straight down and I
Ascension; lounged in a space so foul and I
Dimension; bounced to the nearest warmth around and I
Progression; won't change now
Within small time I'm coming way way down
And there's no way around
I won't lay face down, be swayed, be played out
Or decay, fade out, or drown, get laid out
Our main route is ending so just consider secession
Descension; bound to a course straight down and I
Ascension; lounged in a space so foul and I
Dimension; bounced to the nearest warmth around and I
Progression; won't change now
Within small time I'm coming way way down
And there's no way around
I won't lay face down, be swayed, be played out




Or decay, fade out, or drown, get laid out
Our main route is ending so just consider secession or get out
