Harsh Realities
Bitter End Lyrics

Life is nasty, brutish, and short
Life is difficult and unpredictable, with a lot of suffering and obstacles to overcome, and it can end abruptly and unexpectedly.

It gives you no breaks, forgive no mistakes
Life does not show mercy or give you second chances - you are responsible for your actions and their consequences.

It's time you got wise, opened your eyes
It's time to become aware of the realities of life and stop denying or ignoring them.

And dealt with the world as it is
It's time to face the world as it actually is, with all its flaws and challenges, instead of wishing or pretending it was different.

Harsh realities
The truths of life that are painful or difficult to accept.

It's time to stop living this life of illusion
It's time to stop living in a fantasy world or denying the unpleasant aspects of life, and start confronting reality.

Ignoring life's problems creates no solutions
Avoiding or denying problems does not solve them - it only makes them worse.

Our leaders have lied, there's nowhere to hide
Those in power have deceived and misled us, and there is no escape or easy solution to the problems we face.

We've lived past our means and now the bills must be paid
We have consumed and exploited more than we can afford or sustain, and now we must face the consequences of our actions.

And we're the ones who pay!
We are the ones who will suffer the most from the consequences of our actions and the actions of those in power.
