Moments of Truth
Brainwash Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see myself as a slave of my own -
I'm in a position to do more for my cause!
But something keeps me from doing my task -
Too much to lose on my chosen way!
I wait I thought and lose sight of my goal -
It's beastly cold and a hard lesson to learn!

But this is the moment of truth -
I'm on the edge of despair!
Now I see the sign and cross the bridge to my home!
I understand the backgrounds and know that I have to do!

Freedom is the call -
Now I'm striking back!
Freedom is the call -
The end of the suppression!
Freedom is the call -
Revenge for my fallen brothers!

Freedom!

Overall Meaning

The song "Moments of Truth" by Brainwash depicts the struggles of an individual who is conflicted between his duty towards his cause and his personal limitations. The opening line "I see myself as a slave of my own" is a metaphorical representation of the individual's feeling of being restricted in his own choices. He is aware of his potential to contribute more to his cause, but something holds him back.


The individual is struggling to maintain balance in his life between his cause and personal commitments. He acknowledges that he has a lot to lose if he chooses his cause, yet he feels that it's the right thing to do. The line "It's beastly cold and a hard lesson to learn!" portrays his understanding that the path he chose is not an easy one, but he is willing to endure the hardships.


However, in the end, he makes a decision to stand up for his beliefs and fight against the suppression. The line "Freedom is the call - The end of the suppression! Revenge for my fallen brothers!" is an assertion of his willingness to strike back and avenge the injustice caused to his fellow comrades. In a way, the song is a call for action to those who are facing similar struggles to rise above their limitations and take a stand for their beliefs.

The first, and most important, lesson to learn is non-violence.
Meaning that you will not hurt a living being, human or not..
Meaning that in time, you should become a vegetarian.

The next prosject is to focus on your self, and not "bad government".
Make yourself into the human being you want to be around yourself. Honest, sweet, loving, trustworthy, authentic, etc. No..?^^

And look up the project called Kailasa, with Nithyananda. He is re-creating the universal enlightened society. It is the modern day arch of Noah.

I dont expect you to do this. As it might appear weird at first. Truth always is.
And i dont even care if you do nor dont.
But you should care.. If you care about you.
The alternative is not a good alternative, in the end.

Isolation, sleep deprivation , bullying ,disconnection from family, censured information and all the rest ... Exactly the conditions of being in school.

@vincentanguoni8938

Not the school's I attended!!!! Or my kids!! Parents need to be involved! Just sayin

@mudslinger888

Trump University?

@TiOZAO1966

Yes, and, sometimes, those are exactly the conditions of one's own family, too!

@clintbarr5342

Absolutely schools are prisons and programming centres for children

@le_th_

For those students who live at home while they go to school, that doesn't really apply.

...but I can see the point you're trying to make. Narcissists can be found in cults and at institutions of higher and lower learning, as they like to profess things and tell others their preferred narrative.

I don't think we need to ask ourselves If social media can be weaponized. We must ask ourselves if will we allow it. Or better, can we survive it.

@riffcrescendo1740

how to stop it,

@saltybae0160

It's too late. The most current A.I. programs can already operate independently. And even if the choice was available to 'allow it', the masses are too far gone to detach themselves from perpetuated distractions. What to do
