Severance
Bauhaus Lyrics

The birds of leaving call to us,
We are being beckoned by distant opportunities, but we are struggling to take the leap and embrace change.

Yet here we stand
Despite the call to leave, we are rooted in our current circumstances and are hesitant to make any drastic changes.

Endowed with the fear of flight.
We are burdened with the anxiety of the unknown and the possibility of failure if we take risks.

Overland
As we stand still, the world around us continues to evolve and progress.

The winds of change consume the land,
Change is sweeping across the world, and we are experiencing it whether we want to or not.

While we remain
Despite the changes happening around us, we are still stagnant and unyielding.

In the shadow of summers now past.
We are living in the remnants of the past without embracing the present or the future.

When all the leaves
As time passes and seasons change,

Have fallen and turned to dust,
The old ways and ideas have become irrelevant and obsolete.

Will we remain
Will we be steadfast in our outdated beliefs and practices?

Entrenched within our ways.
Refusing to adapt or change, we will become stuck in a cycle of outdated habits.

Indifference,
The lack of concern or interest in what is happening around us,

The plague that moves throughout this land
Is spreading throughout our society and hindering progress.

Omen signs
Signs that foretell future events,

In the shapes of things to come.
Are appearing and warning us of what is to come if we do not adapt and change our ways.

Tomorrow's child is the only child.
The future belongs to those who embrace change and adapt to the evolving world. The next generation will inherit a world that we leave behind.
