How can we learn with all
With all that we lack
With .........................
Did you pass the blame?
Did you .............................
Where did we
Chorus:
They're taking my life
They're taking my time (x3)
What have you got left but your conscious?
And what was good before

Sentiments for a reason
Reason for this day
Live your life with a purpose
.......... we went to strike
I know, went to strike
Chorus
It's time to confess
It's time to take a rest
No need to jump in my chest. oh no
It's time to confess
It's time to take a rest
No need to jump in my chest. oh no
It's time to step in ........ babylon
...................... to babylon
It's time to step in ........ babylon
...................... to babylon
Really and truly
Sentiments for a reason
Charge me for treason
So, they're taking my life
They're taking my time
The lyrics to Audioweb's song Sentiments For A Reason are quite introspective and thought-provoking. The singer questions what is truly important in life and how we can learn despite our limitations. He also questions whether or not we are responsible for the problems that we face or if we pass the blame onto others. The chorus emphasizes the feeling of being taken advantage of and having our lives and time taken away from us. The song then goes on to suggest that education is key and that we should live our lives with a purpose.
The lyrics towards the end of the song suggest a call to action. The singer implies that it's time to confess and take responsibility for our actions. It's also time to take a rest and step back from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. He suggests that we step into Babylon, which is often used as a metaphor for a corrupt society or world, and work to make positive changes. The singer also mentions being charged with treason, possibly indicating that speaking out against the status quo can come with consequences.
Overall, this song is a powerful commentary on society and the importance of taking responsibility for our lives and actions. It urges listeners to be conscious of their choices and to live with a purpose.
