Paradigm
Aversions Crown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I cannot remember a time
When the world could peacefully flourish
Into something great
It just becomes another organized mess
Too silent, too calm
The land becomes gray like death
The past, the color, the sound, the smell
Is all I've ever felt
We live in silence
Trampled by ignorance
A product of violence
Created to corrupt
The next generation
We die in silence
Nothing needs to be said
We've molded the future
Just to cut it off at the head
Open your eyes and look at what we've done
Let us lead you
And show you the way of the world
We are the reason
That children run to their homes
They fear the night
And barricade themselves
Inside their minds
Holding on to their innocence
That brings them shelter
And keeps them alive
In all my dreams
I cannot remember a time
When the world could peacefully flourish
Into something great
It just becomes another organized mess
Take their hand
Show them what can be achieved
When you take a twisted world and make it worse than it seems
(It worse than it seems)
Open your eyes and look at what we've done
Let us lead you
And show you the way of the world
Open your eyes and look at what we've done
Let us lead you
And show you the way of the world
Morality is broken
Forever shattered
With no way to heal
They'll never stand a chance
We are all evil
The light of the future is eclipsed
No hope for the youth
Their eyes are open
It's the way the paradigm always shifts
The lyrics of Aversions Crown's song "Paradigm" convey a sense of hopelessness and despair about the state of the world we live in. The singer speaks of his dreams, where he cannot remember a time when the world was peaceful and could flourish. Instead, it has become an organized mess, grey and lifeless, without colour, sound or smell. The singer believes that we live in silence and ignorance, and that we have become a product of the violence that we have created to corrupt the next generation.
The song speaks of how we have molded the future in a way that cuts off hope and possibility at the head. Children are afraid, and they barricade themselves inside their minds to keep their innocence and shelter themselves from the reality of the world. The lyrics suggest that morality is broken and forever shattered, leaving no hope for the youth. The paradigm, the pattern of the world, always shifts in the direction of evil. The singer pleads with us to open our eyes and see what we have done, and to take the hand of the younger generation to show them what can be achieved.
